Hauls

July Haul: did I actually start buying physical books again?!

August 5, 2020

It’s the end of another month, which means it’s time to talk about my haul for the month!

physical review copies

After months of very few or NO print ARCs, it feels so weird to even have this section in my haul again!

digital review copies

I did haul a few too many ARCs this month, but I still managed to stick to my ARC limitations, so at least there’s that? Plus, I got a few EXTREMELY exciting anticipated releases that I’m still screaming over. ?

audio review copies

What do we all think of the new NetGalley audiobook program? I think the new app is pretty neat, but I haven’t seen many ALCs on there that I wanted yet — just The Switch, which I’m super excited to listen to! The rest of these are from LibroFM, as usual.

physical purchases and gifts

I think this is the most I’ve bought in a while! 

digital purchases, freebies, and gifts

I think this is the most excited I’ve been about my new Kindle store hauls in a while!

And a few freebies: 

borrowed

Nothing this month! I’ve really been trying to focus on books I already own, so I don’t borrow much lately besides audiobooks of overdue review copies. ?

games

We finally got our Xbox One replacement in, and I’m so happy! I’ve added a “Game Pass Ultimate” section to this area, even though they’re subscription games and not permanent hauls.

  • Xbox Game Pass Ultimate:
  • Steam sales [PC]:
  • Humble Bundle [PC]:
  • Epic Games freebies [PC]:
  • OTHER:

What was your favorite thing you hauled this month — or if you didn’t haul anything, is there anything you hope to haul soon? Let me know in the comments!

      It’s been SO good so far! It’s honestly really dread-inducing from the start because the racism and toxic attitudes are just so authentic and awful.

      I don’t feel like I see it talked about much but it’s so lovely and seems so well made!

    • Reply Destiny @ Howling Libraries August 18, 2020 at 4:59 am

      Thank you! Omg I’m so excited for both of them I could cry. I keep considering just totally ditching all of my other ARCs so I can go ahead and just read those 2 and a couple of others that are also still a little ways out lmao.
