August Book Haul !

August has probably been my smallest book haul yet, that's if you don't count the pre-orders (which is hard to do when they are still months away). I started a new job this month, a three month contract, and also got my tax return so I've had some money this month.

First is a book I found in the opshop - one I have been looking for for ages.

 This book has been so expensive online and I hadn't seen it anywhere else, but it randomly turned up in the op shop so I was quick to grab it.

Next is a book I ordered from Book Depository,  

 I've been wanting to read this book for a while and heard that the publishers had shut down so wanted to get a copy before they ran out.

This next book I specifically went into my local Dymocks to grab.

 It's not the first book in the series but a collection of novellas set before the story starts.

I thought I would give it a go.

The next two are lucky op shop finds.

 After buying the first in the Harry Potter series and kinda loving it, I was seriously chuffed to stumble across the second book in the series. Last month I picked up the 4th book because it was there and then today I went for a walk and just nipped into the op shop for a quick look and actually stumbled across the 3rd book

 The third book is also a hardcover. I really like these older covers and at this rate seem positive I could get the whole series from the op shop, there always seems to be volumes at one or the other store.

So far I have

Philosophers Stone - $2.25

Chamber of Secrets - $2.25

Prisoner of Azkaban (hardback) - $3.25

Goblet of Fire - $4.25

Not a bag lot for the price.

 

And now... PREORDERS:

I got all of these with my tax return money from the Book Depository.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone Box (Hardback) set

 I read the first book on my kindle and the second one I got second hand from Better World Books  and while I''m really keen to read the third and last book, I really wanted a box set and thought that this series would be the right series for me.

The third book in Gail Carriger's YA Finishing School series.

 These books are such pretty colours, I've read the first two and can't wait to read the next instalment.

From the same author comes a new series  The Custard Protocol.

This is the first book Prudence, which considering who her parents are I can not wait to read all about Rue's adventures.

Ok so this one has a pretty long wait time, but I'm hell keen to get into it and I'm glad that I pre-ordered it and will now be getting it no matter what March 2015 holds.
