January Book Haul

As of now, just be aware that my continued excuse for a large haul of books is 'retail therapy'. We have all heard now how rubbish this year has been so far and it makes us happy to shop for, find, buy, collect, organize, display and read books. So just let us be happy eh? haha.
We said a few posts back that we really should get on top of it and cut the buying out a little but it's not like it's a lot of money, nor do we really spend much money on anything other than the important basics. Overall, it's books really. Not a bad habit to have at all.
Here is what we all bought in January 2020!

22 books. 14 more than last month but 15 less than our biggest buy month of October 2019. A happy medium? We actually bought 4 brand new books in January too which is a rarity, 2 were on the Tesco 2 for £7 godsend, one was only £4 and the other was a special signed edition that we just couldn't say no to.
I think working to a goal worked a couple of months back so if we aim for under 15 books next month, hopefully we'll have a smaller list in February!
