What’s Miscellaneous Today?
Fall 2015 Book Haul —
Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Others
This would have been a prime opportunity to create some spine poetry for my recent haul…but I decided to list them in order of when these were hauled.
Fall Miscellaneous Acquisitions
These are random acquisitions that were obtained through Oct-December and aren’t part of my Book Outlet hauls below.
Truthwitch belongs to Amanda @ Brains, Books, Brawn who is letting me borrow it (so I’m taking this picture to pretend I do own it). Glass Sword was won from Brittany @ Book Rambles giveaway. Patty @ BookishWanderLovee gave me her copy of Rush because she didn’t see herself reading it anytime soon (I don’t know when I’ll get to it either but her TBR is 100x bigger than mine). The Fixer was the book I received from Toronto Bookmas 2015 event (I forgot who gifted it).
The Scorpion Races – Maggie Stiefvater (YA, Fantasy, Romance, Mythology)
Truthwitch – Susan Dennard (YA, High Fantasy, Magic, Watches)
Glass Sword – Victoria Aveyard (YA, High Fantasy, Magic, Dystopia)
Rush – Eve Silver (YA, Sci-Fi, Dystopia, Aliens, Gaming)
The Fixer – Jennifer Lynn Barnes (YA, Contemp., Mystery, Thriller)
Illuminae – Amie Kaufman/Jay Kristoff (YA, Sci-Fi, Romance, Space)
October 2015 — Canadian Thanksgiving
Actually, this Book Outlet haul was in two parts because I saw Red Rising and had to check out immediately (+ added other stuff) LOL…
Beautiful Disaster – Jamie McGuire (NA, Contemp., Romance)
Bird Box – Josh Malerman (Adult, Horror, Sci-Fi)
In A World Just Right – Jen Brooks (YA, Contemp., Fantasy)
Red Rising – Pierce Brown (YA, Sci-Fi)
Area X Trilogy – Jeff Vandermeer (Adult, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror)
November 2015 — Black Friday
The Novice actually belongs in the Oct. I realized this after I took the picture and was too lazy to take another photo. I also hauled Magoon’s How It Went Down, Sanderon’s The Rithmatist, and Lawrence’s Prince of Fools, but gave it away in a gift exchange.
Antigoddess/Mortal Gods – Kendare Blake (YA, Urban Fantasy, Mythology)
The Novice – Taran Matharu (YA, Fantasy, Magic School, Demons)
I Am The Mission – Allen Zadoff (YA, Thriller, Action, Mystery)
Shutter – Courtney Alameda (YA, Horror, Paranormal)
December 2015 — …Book Outlet Bear
Those who I speak to regularly about Book Outlet. THIS INCENTIVE FOR A BEAR AND GRAND PRIZE LOL WHY?!
Delicate Monsters – Stephanie Kuehn (YA, Contemp., Thriller, Mental Illness)
I Hunt Killers – Barry Lyga (YA, Thriller, Mystery, Crime)
The Walled City – Ryan Graudin (YA, Sci-Fi, Dystopia)
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown – Holly Black (YA, Fantasy, Paranormal)
Half The World – Joe Abercrombie (YA, Epic Fantasy, Adventure)
Afterthoughts:
Guess who calculated the sum of books spent on Book Outlet? I cry.
I still need to upload my picture for the Book Outlet Bear contest thing with…yes, the bear. I’m unsure what to do because I’m so uncreative so I might just go with this compilation picture. Who knooooooows.
Cheers,
Joey

Great Haul! I am so jealous you got a hardcover copy of Half the World off Bookoutlet. I wish I would have known they had it. I just bought it in paperback because I need to read it but couldnt justify paying the price of the hardcover. I also want to read Red Rising really bad. I Am The Mission and I Hunt Killers are interesting books.
