March Book Haul

Sometimes I feel the more books I buy, the less I actually read. I am taking a break from subscription boxes other than Illumicrate. I did get the anniversary FairyLoot mostly because I am still gutted I missed the dragonscale scarf and I didn’t want to miss another one (although in the end, the scarf wasn’t as good as last year’s).

Physical Books Bought

A few pre-orders and several books out of subscription boxes make up the bulk of these ones. I read Obsidio immediately, sometimes I wish I had it in me to read all my books that way, but usually they go on the shelves for a few weeks, months, years…

Obsidio by Amie Kaufman + Jay Kristoff
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
Other Minds by Peter Godfrey-Smith
American War by Omar El Akkad

Ebooks Bought

I mean, at least these aren’t taking up any physical space, but do I really need so much material for the half an hour a day I spend on the train? I did read three of these in the same month as purchasing them, so that’s progress of a sort.
