February Haul and Wrap Up

Problematically, my shelves are really starting to fill up, and I don’t have much room for more books. Books I Bought: Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. This behemoth of a book was a purchase from Illumicrate, who were doing signed and personal copies. On the Come Up by Angie Thomas. I’m going to meet her today and I am SO EXCITED.

If you didn’t know already, I have recently gotten into board games since moving into my new apartment. We currently have around 20 of them on our shelves and there are plans to add more…
