Whew! Just thinking about all those books makes me tired (but also excited!). What books did you add to your shelves this month? I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!
These pictures are so pretty! I love them :) And, wow, that's a lot of books! I tried reading Great Expectations a couple of months ago and had a really hard time getting into it and kind of gave up. Normally I love classics, but that one just didn't grab me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miranda! And yeah, I'm a little nervous I won't like Great Expectations, but at least the cover is pretty! :)
DeleteLove your photos! So excited about the books you got for Christmas - and can't wait to hear what you think of a few of them! Your new Bible is gorgeous, too. I've been thinking about getting the ESV Study Bible, and I'm pretty sure your photo might just have convinced me :) I got Fracture Me, too, and already read it. We'll have to discuss once you've read it! I also got Outlander since it was on sale - hope we both like it!
ReplyDeleteHannah, I absolutely LOVE my new ESV Study Bible! You should definitely get one. It's my favorite gift I got this Christmas. I think they are even on sale for 50% off at Family Christian Stores right now, so perfect timing for you! Also, can't wait to discuss Fracture Me! And I was so excited when I saw Outlander was on sale for Nook. Such a great deal for such a big book!
