Okay, so, my February haul isn’t as small as it was supposed to be, but I’m still actually pretty pleased with it! I mean, it’s nothing compared to the last 4 months or so, so… I’m making progress, right? ? Plus, a ton of these were Valentine’s Day gifts from my sweet fiance, who couldn’t bring himself to stick to our “no gifts” plans. (Not that I’m complaining…)

on myself about my ARC requests. Go me!
karathehuman
February 28, 2018So many books! I’m curious, though: what is ARC?
Bree's Books
February 28, 2018An ARC is an Advanced Readers Copy 🙂
karathehuman
March 3, 2018Oh! Thanks for clarifying 😀
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Advanced Readers Copy! It’s an unfinished review copy that reviewers sometimes receive before the release date so they can help hype the book. 🙂
karathehuman
March 3, 2018Oh, neat! I kept seeing people mention that but had no idea what it was, haha. How does that end up happening, getting chosen to read ARCs?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 4, 2018You have to request them, either digitally through NetGalley or Edelweiss, or by emailing publishers to ask for them! Occasionally, people get them through giveaways or by asking their local bookstores if they have any laying around. 🙂
PerfectlyTolerable
February 28, 2018That is a lot of books! I am jealous!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Thank you! <3 I used to never buy books EVER, so this is so nice, but I have to go on a book ban now lol!
Flavia
February 28, 2018Ahhhh such a great haul! Thanks for sharing!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Thank you, Flavia! <3
confessionsofayareader
February 28, 2018Great haul!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Thank you!
RedRocketPanda
February 28, 2018So many, you’re terrible 😉
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018THE CONFIRMED WORST. Lmao!
Annemieke
February 28, 2018The I meant for my haul to be smaller is for me too this month haha. But in the end one cannot complain when you get so many pretty books, right? The Heroes of Olympus boxset is the best. 😀
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Lmao, I’m so glad I’m not alone! But yes, you’re right, can’t complain over so many great books! I’m working through the PJO series right now and my fiance saw how much I’ve been loving the books so he got me the HOO box set and now I can’t wait to read it, too!
Norrie
February 28, 2018Oh wow, nicely done! Some books i’ve never heard about. Gonna have to investigate, haha 😀
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Thank you, lovely! 😀 I hope you find some that interest you in the pile!
meltotheany
February 28, 2018So many good books! Ahhhh! Wishing you the happiest of reading this March, beautiful! And friendly reminder that I love you! ?xx
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Thank you! <3 I hope you have an amazing March and I love you!
jennielyse
February 28, 2018Yay for The Infernal Devices trilogy!!! I love those books so much!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Yaaay! I’m reading the TMI series right now, but I’m going to read them in the order that CC recommends, so I just have one more TMI book to read (#3) before starting TID!
Ellyn
February 28, 2018Oh my god, all the books! How do you have shelf space left? Mine are all full lol.
It looks like you haul is full of so many great books though, so you’ll have a great reading year!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018My shelves are SO close to being at max capacity! I’m gonna probably have to either do an un-haul or get a new bookshelf before the year is out, lol!
bookishinbed
February 28, 2018So many books. Omg you need to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It’s so good.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018I’ve heard so many amazing reviews on it that I knew I had to pick it up! I was gonna try to pick it up this month for the Women’s History Month bingo I’m doing, but my TBR is so full that I don’t know if I’ll be able to, so I miiiight save it for a Pride readathon I’m hoping to do in June!
bookishinbed
March 4, 2018Omg June is so far away but I completely understand. There are so many books I’m like oh I’ll read this month but then my tbr won’t allow it. I seriously can’t wait to see what you think.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 7, 2018Haha right?! My TBR is so full all the time. It’s a mess! I’ve intentionally been avoiding requesting summer ARCs just so I have a few months free for my owned TBR!
bookishinbed
March 9, 2018I’ve been trying so hard not to request arcs. I keep seeing books I really want on Netgalley. I need to control myself.
Kelly | Another Book in the Wall
February 28, 2018Wow! So many beautiful books! I’ve been wanting to read Forest of a thousand lanterns, broken beautiful hearts, they both die at the end, and the inheritance cycle. Lovely haul!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Thank you, Kelly! <3 I hope you get the chance to soon! I loved Eragon and I loved TBDATE so much, so I recommend those two first. <3
becandbones
March 1, 2018Ah such a great haul. Can you feel the jealousy flowing off me in waves? The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Words on Bathroom Walls, and Let’s Talk About Love are all books I want to get my hands on sooner rather than later.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 3, 2018Thank you haha! <3 I'm so excited, I just want to read all of them right now! Sometimes I wish I could just dump all of my TBRs and reading challenges and ARCs and just swim around in my piles of unread books that I need to stop buying. 😛
journeyintobooks
March 3, 2018Great haul, I hope you love all of these books 🙂
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 4, 2018Thank you so much! 😀 Happy reading to you! <3
journeyintobooks
March 4, 2018Your welcome 🙂
Kathy @ Books & Munches
March 13, 2018I don’t even want to repeat myself. Not again. I’m doing it every month. You know what I want to say, so I’m just going to think it and make you think it and then hope you FEEL THE SHAME.
[But, I admit, Terry deserves a hug for giving you books for Valentine. Especially since I didn’t get A THING from a certain person that does not deserve a hug at all.]
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 19, 2018Lmaoooo <3 I DO FEEL THE SHAME… but I also feel the new book glow, and like, that's a strong feeling, you know? And yes, he's the best. Do I need to send someone a facebook message and remind them that books are the best gifts for ALL occasions?!
Kathy @ Books & Munches
March 20, 2018New book glow is EVERYTHING. You should’ve seen my face when I got home and there was a huge package of Amazon and a smaller one too. I was ecstatic. 😀
Hahaha. I pretty much made him promise me I get to buy my Valentine when we go to Edinburgh in MAY. It’s such a long way off but since there are multiple HP-stores [not to mention the fact that city was the first one to be named a city of literature by UNESCO], I’m definitely going to find something I totally love and he can spend his money on, haha.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 20, 2018Bahaha, I can imagine! <3 Oooooh, good. 😀 I can't wait to see what you pick! (And that's awesome. I think Victoria Schwab just moved there! I wanna goooo)
Kathy @ Books & Munches
March 22, 2018WHAAAT. But I haven’t read any of her books. Yet. Omg. I need to check that out and I should likely check if there are any author events going on that time even though it’ll be in the middle of the week and the boyfriend will probably kill me for it but seriously now I need to check that all out – cue freak out.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 22, 2018Ahhhh you should totally check her books out! She’s phenomenal. I loved A Darker Shade of Magic and am continuing that series in a buddy read next month. :3
Kathy @ Books & Munches
March 23, 2018qkldjfmqldkf the pressure. I cannot handle all the books I have yet to read. Like. I’m failing at bingeing series lately – hello, Tower of Dawn – so I just know that if I try doing that with her books, it’ll end up in the same freaking disaster even though I want to binge them?!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 27, 2018Story of my life. I always want to binge read series, but then it never works out. I totally thought I would binge read the Throne of Glass series after reading Assassin’s Blade in December, but I still haven’t continued it (though I MIGHT join a group read on facebook for the first book in April!).
Kathy @ Books & Munches
March 28, 2018Haha, you MIGHT. You’re going to end up with a giant TBR again, aren’t you? 😛
I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll at LEAST be able to binge the HP’s in June. I need that. Like, just one series I can easily binge. That would make my year.. :’)
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
March 29, 2018… maaaaayyyyybeeee….
I am tentatively planning to buddy/binge read the Twilight series with a friend in July, because… uh… reasons. I haven’t read any of those books since Breaking Dawn came out, but I was THE biggest Twihard back in the day (not the films. just the books. NEVER THE FILMS) and I kind of wanna see what I think of them now, bahaha.
