January Book Haul :)

Hey Guys!

My birthday was in January, and I was blessed to receive quite a few new books that I'm really excited to read.

As well, I cashed in some of my swagbucks for an Indigo gift card, and I actually won a book in a contest as well.

I'm currently on a book buying ban, as I'm trying to put as much money on my debt as I can possibly can, and so it was awesome to receive so many amazing new books, especially since I haven't been buying any myself lately.

I'm so excited to share them all with you, and so let's go ahead and get started:

First, my hubby and I visited our favorite local used bookstore on my birthday, where he picked me up some pretty amazing goodies. I've mentioned this bookstore on my blog many times before, and it's one of our favorites stores. Not only are the prices amazing, but it's entirely a charity bookstore, and all proceeds go to the local animal shelter.

This time, we found all four original novels in The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants series, and the best part? This whole series was only one dollar!!!!

And then they had lots of Debbie Macomber novels this time around, and so Neil bought me three from the Blossom Street Series. I got Hannah's List, Blossom Street Brides, and Twenty Wishes, each of which were only 2 dollars!

Next, I happened to win a contest through Instagram from The Bookworm Box!!! I never win these type of contests, and so I was extremely excited. Even more so due to the fact that the book I won was Dream Chaser by Angie Stanton! I adore her books, and I can't wait to go ahead and read this one. Thanks so much to The Bookworm Box!

I then used my Indigo gift card from Swagbucks to order a few novels that I've been wanting for a long time: Bookishly Ever After by Isabel Bandeira, and two more of the 10th anniversary editions of the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter: I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You, and Only The Good Spy Young. I'm hoping to collect the three I'm still missing in this series once my book buying ban lifts.

My husband purchased the beautiful Selection series coloring book for me, and I was so excited when I opened this. The Selection remains one of my all time favorite series, and I can't wait to start coloring in this one.

He also placed an order from Book Outlet during their Boxing Day sale, and that's where a lot of my birthday gifts came from.

First, for adult fiction I received Love Letters by Debbie Macomber, and Shopaholic To The Stars and Shopaholic To The Rescue by Sophie Kinsella.

Next for YA books, I received Tiny Pretty Things by Dhonielle Clayton and Sonia Chairapota (which was the one I'd wanted the most), and then Prophecy by Ellen Oh, which I'd never heard of before, but it sounds amazing!

And then lastly I received six inspirational fiction books that I can't wait to read:

Love Arrives In Pieces and All's Fair In Love And Cupcakes by Betsey St. Amant, and A Heart's Betrayal by Colleen Coble.

How To Catch A Prince by Rachel Hauck, and two more of the A Year Of Wedding Novella Series: Summer Brides by Beth Wiseman, Debra Clopton, and Maybeth Whalen, and Autumn Brides by Kathryn Springer, Katie Ganshert, Beth K. Vogt.

I was extremely spoiled to receive such amazing books for my birthday this year, and I can't wait to dive into all of these!

Thanks so much for reading guys, and I hope you all have a great weekend!

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday: Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake

Happy Friday Friends :) There's so many reasons I'm excited that it's once again Friday. I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
