July '19 book haul
Good morning bookworms! Book haul categories are as follows:
- book boxes
- book purchases (book mail, instore and digital)
- review copies (book mail and digital), and
- bookish items (book related, but not actual books).
I subscribe to three monthly boxes: OwlCrate, FairyLoot and the book-only subscription for LitJoy. Here is what arrived in June:
- FairyLoot’s June box theme was Broody Banter, and the book was Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
- OwlCrate’s June theme was Libraries of Wonder, and the book was Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson (yes, this was my third copy… but with the alternate cover below)
- OwlCrate’s July theme was as Tournaments and Trials, and the book was Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim
My July FairyLoot hasn’t even shipped yet?? I don’t know what’s happening with it. And I paused my July LitJoy, so I didn’t get one of those this month.
Remember that gift voucher I got for my birthday? I totally spent every last cent on it. And the money my mum gave me. (It was bound to happen eventually…)

You’re so organized and seeing it makes me feel so happy and a little jealous because I’m always starting and never finishing this stuff because I just don’t have the time ? Looks like you got loads of great books in July!
Meeghan reads
Hahaha, I’m really not that organized!! But I do keep spreadsheets… (I’m a data nerd) and I was thinking I might share the templates with you all if you’d like?

I start spreadsheets… But I never finish them? ? Haha it’s so bad! I would totally love to get access to the templates if you want to share. That would be supes amazing ?
Meeghan reads
Consider it done!! I just need to test the new formatting, but they’ll be up in the next month or so ?
