HAULED BOOKS


 July is my birthday month and it's also YALC so I got lots of books this month!

I only received the July FairyLoot box today (31st July) so I haven't included it here.








For my birthday, I got Planets by Andrew Cohen and Professor Brian Cox, The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf, Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff and The Girl in Red by Christina Henry.

I bought Ms. Marvel, Volume 10 and Under a Dancing Star by Laura Wood for myself. 

The Starlight Watchmaker by Lauren James was a signed pre-order.


All the Bad Apples by Moïra Fowley-Doyle was sent to me by Penguin as I'm part of the blog tour.

The Storm Crow was in the July Book Hooked Box subscription box.

 




From YALC, I got:

This was my fifth time going and I had a great time.
