pink books i’ve read recently (part 2): colour coded reads

yellowroseroad

I have been on a major reading kick as of late and just churning books out super frequently. Which is great and so fun, but it does mean that my memory of the books is kind of spotty and some of these books I read like 3 weeks before writing this so my memory of them is spotty. I really have to work out a new system so this doesn’t happen. Besides that, these books are great and there is a real mix here of genres and forms. It’s a lot of fun.

a recent (secondhand) book haul

yellowroseroad

I have a massive bag of books that I’m just going to pull from for this post. I should say that all but like 3 of these books were acquired at work after getting some bits for the shop. That justifies some of the mass I think. Because it is a mass, like this is a lot. most of these I’ve wanted for a while and I am very excited to have them finally.

pink books i’ve read recently (part 1): colour coded reads

yellowroseroad

I am no longer pretending to read the books I don’t remember. If a description is all in quotes it is lifted from Goodreads, for the betterment of us all. I have, with this batch, passed my reading goal for the year which is an insane thing to say in April when your reading target is 150 books. At this point I will have read around 500 by the end of the year which I am stunned by. I love this pink era, there are so many books I’ve been holding on to for over a year that I’ve now read and that’s a great feeling.

reading my random trade paperbacks (part 1)

yellowroseroad

I had a shelf and a bit of trade paperbacks that I just wasn’t reading. So I decided to rectify that. They’re a real mix of genres and form.  Most of which I haven’t kept which is good for my book storage. There are a few re-reads here (that aren’t trade books) too which is not something I do often but I was in a mood. Continue reading “reading my random trade paperbacks (part 1)”

i went to london and bought way too many books, here they are (a book haul) (mostly gay)

yellowroseroad

This haul was acquired over two trips to Gays the Word in Bloomsbury (I got a free tote bag because I spent over £100 so that’s good I guess), one trip to Skoob, a couple picked up at work, to my local Waterstones and to the same London Waterstones on two different floors (the Piccadilly one). It took me four days. There’s 23 books here. It’s a doozy, carrying the London books back gave me a fair amount of pain. I am on a no book buy until like May now (a lie). I love these books though, I made great choices. If you see any of these in book wishlists that aren’t up yet, no you don’t.
