Book Haul

 

It started with one book I had on hold at the library coming in, followed by another, and the next thing I knew I was dropping off one book to pick up four. I can never read them as fast as they come in. Just like I can't read them as fast as I buy them, but at least the library is free. Seriously though, how do half my holds always seem to come in all at once. The only saving grace this time around is they're all graphic novels. Higher chance I'll get these read before their due date, even more so because in theory I only have one more week of long weeks.

On top of a chunk of holds coming in, there was also a thrift store run. My parents got me a new bookcase for my birthday which led to me dehauling five bags of books, along with a few other things that no longer spark joy. Of course, I hit the book section while I was at the said bookstore and came home with two new books: one retro horror and a new Fear Street. Then I remembered I still had some birthday money from my Mim, and Barnes and Noble was only ten minutes away from where I was. So I popped over there. I just discovered The Decagon House Murders a couple of weeks ago, and the wait is super long at the library so I thought I'd check,k and if they had it I'd take it home. Lucky me! They had it! I've been on both a Sherlock Holmes and Manga kick, so I jumped at the chance to combine those into obsessions. 

So yeah, this was not a planned book haul. I left it unattended on a day off with a little bit of overtime and a birthday month in my pocket. So, I did a bit of whimsy shopping on top of an unplanned library haul! Luckily, it looks like the weather is trying to warm up, so it'll be outside reading season soon! 

HAPPY READING!!
