#book sets

My cousin bought me the new prophecy box set, but it doesn’t match with any of my others and I want to have all the sets that have their spines match up because that would be so cool >:3

It just interrupts everything <\3

I'm not sure if I took pics of these already (except one I know I have before), but here are some recent book buys. From a few different sellers, like Half Price Books, Amazon, a thrift shop, and a pop-up book stall at a local coffeehouse.

Are there any authors you consider “must-buys” or “must-reads”? Or maybe a particular book that you keep buying new editions of? 

I have a few ‘must buy’ authors. At the moment Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of them but I have absolutely zero interest in any of her books published before Evelyn Hugo so I guess we’ll see which direction her writing goes in next.

Another author that I keep buying as soon as I see he has a new book out (even though I’m yet to read a couple of them) is David Mitchell. Like Reid, he ties all his books into the same universe with characters that get mentioned in multiple stories. I find it absolutely fascinating when authors do that.

And then we have Joe Hill. Again, I haven’t got around to all his books yet but I do keep buying them. But there is a reason I haven’t read them all yet. I’m not actually super into horror books. I read Horns a few years ago because I knew there was a movie in the works that Daniel Radcliffe was cast in and I figured I was probably going to see it (still haven’t) so I should read it first. And I really enjoyed it and then went out and bought more of his stuff. But I can only psych myself up for reading them every so often lmao.
