Happy Friday, everyone! So I’m here to finally share my book haul.
I am really excited to read all of these books. And I don’t know exactly why but I feel like I have to say this. I don’t like buying or receiving books I don’t have plans on reading even they’re for free. Am I being ungrateful and snob? No. I just know that there are other readers who would appreciate those books more than me. As an international book reviewer/blogger, I consider myself very lucky to have been offered by these publishers for free copies of the books I really want to read. And if I don’t get the ones I want, I buy them or borrow them from the library.
Now, let’s get to the books.
These are the books that I have accumulated over the past three months. Book I bought with my own money, books that I received from my husband (he’s the sweetest), and books that were sent to me by publishers for free.
