Thankful for second hand books!

It’s Top Ten Tuesday time once again friends. This week the prompt is a ‘thankful’ freebie and I just wanted to give a shout out to thrift and secondhand books stores! Books are so expensive to buy brand new so I’ve restricted myself to only paying full price for either books I rated 4 stars and over or pre orders of series I’m loving. So over the last year I have visited a lot of op shops/thrift stores on the hunt for second hand books to add to my collection and I usually manage to come away with one or two titles. Just this last weekend I visited 3-4 stores and I came away with this lovely haul of books that I managed to snag. 

End of Year Book Tag

I did this tag at the end of last year and I felt like this is a fun tag that I’m going to do around this time every year!

I did start Jade City by Fonda Lee but never finished it but I definitely want to!

I don’t really have seasonal books that I read every year, but since we are going into Summer here in Australia one book I think will give me summery vibes is Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

No all my anticipated releases have come out already but one I haven’t picked up yet is House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas

Near the Bone by Christina Henry and His & Hers by Alice Feeney and All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody & Christine Lynn Herman

I just have a feeling I’m going to love this!

No… I did struggle with reading slumps throughout this year so my only plan for 2023 is to fall back in love with reading again!
