7 Month Book Haul! 😱 (December 2018 - June 2019)

It's been such a long time since I did a book haul and shared with you all what books I've added to my personal library! Life got in the way, and then the pile got so big that the thought of sitting down and filming was super daunting. I decided that enough was enough and just buckled down and got it done so now I have a GIANT book haul for you guys! I've divided the haul into where I acquired each book from, so hopefully that keeps things organized. Hopefully I won't wait this long before my hauls in the future! 😂

The end of a season means it's time for a book haul on my channel! As I do my hauls quarterly, they tend to be quite large, but I've been making an effort to scale back my book buying as much as possible and as a result, my haul for this season is a bit smaller than they have been in past quarters. I'm aiming for an even smaller haul for the winter, but we shall see how that goes! 😂 Anywho, I've listed the books I acquired in the fall below, and if you'd like to hear me speak a bit more about each, make sure you hit play on the video above! 🤗

Book Haul Revisit #2 | Tackle Your TBR & RYBSAT Round 9 Vlogs

Happy Black Friday, everyone! In the spirit of spending ridiculous amounts of money, I thought I'd post a book haul revisit and see if I've actually read the books I've spent my money on! This time around I'm taking a look at the books I hauled during my RYBSAT Round 9 & Tackle Your TBR vlogs from last fall, which totaled in 22 books between the two vlogs. Click play on the above video to see how I did! :)

Fall 2017 Book Haul!

Hooray! It's finally time for another book haul! These are some of my favorite videos to watch and to make, so I'm always very excited when I get to sit down and show off the books that I've purchased over the course of the last few months. This time around I managed to rack up 34 books. 

I know what you may be thinking - what happened to your Project 5 book buying plan?! (You're probably not thinking that but I feel weird not explaining myself SO I'M GONNA.) Basically, it went out the window this fall. I went through a really tough period of time in September/October and one of the things that brought be comfort was buying new books, so I allowed myself to do so. 

Overall, though, I'm finding that through my Project 5, I have less of an inclination to buy books that I'm not sure if I'm genuinely interested in and don't have foreseeable plans to actually read in the near future, which was the whole point of putting myself on this plan in the first place. So, SUCCESS! Moving forward, I think I'm going to continue to be cautious with my book buying and if I'm finding that I'm back on a "buy 20-books from Book Outlet for no real reason" habit, I'll turn back to Project 5. It's honestly been such a great help in learning to curb my book buying habits!

Anyway, here are the books that I've purchased for myself this fall. If you'd like to hear me talk briefly about each of these books, click play on the video above! Definitely let me know if you've read/enjoyed any of these books. I'd love to hear from you!

Book Haul Revisit #1 | Summer 2016 Book Haul

Today over on my channel I am taking a look at my Summer 2016 Book Haul and seeing how many of the books I hauled have been read or not. Julie at Pages & Pens is the brilliant mastermind behind this idea and I had so much fun looking back on the things I purchased last summer! 
I've actually done surprisingly well with this particular haul. Out of the 22 books I hauled I've read 17 of them and still have 5 left that I'm still really interested to get to. I'm not sure if future book hauls will be the same way, but at least I'm starting out on the right foot with this haul revisit! Click play to see how I fared. :)

Summer 2017 Book Haul!

It's time for another book haul! It's always so fun to show off all of the new editions to my personal home library, and this one is no different. I have a *ton* of books to show you in this video. So many that I could not possibly lift all 31 of them in my thumbnail without giving myself a concussion. I hope you enjoy looking at all of my beautiful new books, and if you see any that I should definitely get to soon, let me know in the comments!

Library Book Haul! {#002}

Gah, I just love the library. I feel like I've be striking gold at the library recently and have found so many books that I've been on the fence about purchasing but really wanting to read so I took it upon myself to request ALL OF THEM. Y'all... this is why the library rules. No financial obligation and access to ALL THE BOOKS! Remember to support your local libraries and support the use of libraries. They are the best. Anyway, if you're interested in reading a bit more into each book that I showed in this video (and you know... seeing the covers), check out the GoodReads pages which are linked below!

November 2016 Book Haul! Classics, Nostalgia, and a Secret Book Swap!

Recently I went onto Book Outlet and found that they were doing a huge 50/50 sale on classics! I really want to have a great classics collection in my personal library so I thought I'd splurge a bit and buy a whole bunch of them. Here is my haul from that order! I also have a few titles that I'm very nostalgic about in this haul, a highly-anticipated sequel that released at the beginning of the month, and a bonus unboxing from a secret book swap that I participated in this month. I hope you enjoy!

Library Book Haul! {#001}

Hello all and happy Friday! While I have a Book Outlet haul filmed and ready to be posted, I figured the most appropriate video post-BorrowAThon would be a LIBRARY book haul! I wanted to talk a little bit more about the importance of using a library and promoting financial inclusivity within the online reading community and kind of practice what I preach a little but with a haul from my library! I'm so excited to read all of these books! If you've read any of the books mentioned in this video let me know what you though in the comments! :)
