After my mid-month wrap up post in which I said I was being cocky, I then read basically nothing. Due to work and then a lovely chest infection, I didn’t get much of anything done apart from watching To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before three times. Also went to a wedding and the only photo of us that I have is this:
So instead of what I READ, here’s what books I BOUGHT/ACQUIRED!!
Physical books:
- The Humans by Matt Haig – since I’m on a Matt Haig spree I thought I should pick this up when I saw it in a charity shop. This one is about an alien that comes to earth and takes over the body of a human and learns all about humanity and how awful we are. It sounds good!
- The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss – Another charity shop find from the same day. I fancied some fantasy since it’s been a while and have heard Patrick Rothfuss on podcasts (including an episode of My Brother, My Brother and Me which he was really interesting on) so I thought I’d try this. I believe it’s part of a series so if I like it then I might get sucked in!
eBooks:
- To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han – I didn’t read this during the BookTube hype and I should have because I LOVED the film (if you haven’t watched it, please do, then watch it again). I was in the middle of my second watch when I bought this on Kindle so I’m looking forward to reading it and then maybe going on to the sequels for more cuteness.
- A Darker Shade of Magic by V E Schwab – I missed the hype on this one as well so thought I’d read it, I’ve seen it quite a bit on BookTube lately and my friend, Amy, recommended it while we were shopping so here it is on my TBR!
- Eligible by Curtis Sittenfield – I’m a sucker for anything Pride and Prejudice and just finished Death Comes to Pemberley so a bit of contemporary romance with an Austen bent is just what I want right now.
Overall I finished 3 books and listened to 6 audiobooks so I think I earned a little bit of a book haul this month!
Have you read any of these books? How many times have you watched TATBILB so far? Let me know 🤗🤗📚📚
