What better way to celebrate the end of spring than with a book haul?
At least, that’s what I tell myself.
I’ve been itching to complete my Lunar Chronicles collection ever since I received a signed copy of Scarlet as a (pretty insanely generous) gift from the amazing Alyssa, and well, now I have. I am now the proud owner of Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter, (Stars Above and Fairest didn’t really hit the I-gotta-buy-it-now kind of spot with me) and of course that means that I can finally loan them out and forcibly push them at my friends…who will read them, you bet. 😉
{ As a shameless self-promo, you can catch my Lunar Chronicles reviews here. }
I also hauled a gorgeous edition of Les Miserables, which is ABSOLUTELY slightly daunting now that I own it and have flipped through the (1300+) pages and seen the microscopic font. (Not cool, Penguin Deluxe…not cool.)
I’m planning on reading it over the summer, but in any case, I am thrilled to add it to my library and cannot wait to start it soon! It was a little on the pricy side (as far as paperbacks go) at about $20ish, but I found it at the ever-fabulous Barnes & Noble for only $16.
In my honest opinion, even though Barnes & Noble has their own gorgeous leather-bound edition of Les Mis, I’ve found that they can be a bit high-maintenance, so I was willing to pay about the same for the paperback copy (which I never do) for a bit more practicality. Of course, the cover didn’t sway me at all……..
Who am I kidding? Of course it did.
That’s it for this month’s haul!
