May ’20 book haul

Good morning bookworms!!

It’s time for the monthly book haul!! We’re keeping on at reasonable numbers over here – I mean, I’m still gaining more than I am reading (please help me), but it’s not outrageous!!

book boxes

I subscribe to three monthly boxes: OwlCrate, FairyLoot and the book-only subscription for LitJoy. In April I skipped LitJoy and OwlCrate again. FairyLoot boxes are delayed, so I’m still missing the March and April boxes.

In May I ordered the LitJoy and FairyLoot book/boxes. Neither of which arrived. I’m also still waiting on my March FairyLoot box… but I did get a shipping notification for it last night!!

 

book purchases

Ooof… so, we’re outside of my limit of 10 books… BUT one of them was a gift. So, I’m taking it!!

    “I’m still gaining more than I am reading (please help me)” haha I have that problem as well, sadly. 🙂

    BOOKS!!
    although our local bookstore is now open, i’m kinda on the fence about going now- as I need to bring my transplanted mother along and well.. even if we don’t have any cases around here right now, I still kind of don’t wanna take any chances.

    A few of thoses i’ve been wanting to read- Don’t you forget about me, The flatshare, Fix her up.. but mostly, I want your thoughts on Our stop! I picked it up -quite a while ago now- last time I went but put it back down as per it’s goodread being mostly negative.

      We’ve definitely had a much easier time of COVID in Australia. Not as many cases, which I think has helped our stores open a little earlier. I’m trying to stay home still as much as possible as I’m immunosuppressed, but I did pop to the shops on a Tuesday at 10am and there was almost no one there, which was a huge relief.

      • Kristina

        Yeah, our province only has cases in the north night now.. our area is being clear for now- but as my mother is immunosupressed aswell, im kinda effy about going anywhere I don’t need to for now xd basically only going to work and back with the petshop & vet clinic when needed for the dogs ..

  • lilisblissfulpages

    Aaaah I’m so jealous with Burn and BattleBorn…Hope you enjoy all these books Meeghan. 🙂 🙂

    By the way, I saw now that I wasn’t following your blog which is ridiculous because we met here. Hahaha. Must be a wordpress glitch or something. Anyway, I followed you again.

  • Sophie @BewareOfTheReader

    I am always amazed that you subscribe to three book boxes Meeghan! I got Aurora Burning and the Flatshare too!
