Hauls Monthlies

October Haul Time! (It was my birthday month, so it’s a doozy…)

November 8, 2022

I normally include my haul with my wrap-up (which I posted yesterday, if you missed it), but since October was my birthday month and I hauled a LOT more than I usually do, I decided to make a separate haul post—especially so I’d have plenty of room to thank everyone who sent such kind gifts. 🥰

    Ah! You hauled so so much!!!! Swordheart is SUCH a good book, you’re going to love it. I got a copy of The Foxglove King, too, and I’m a good chunk of the way into it. It’s really really entertaining so far. I hope you love ALL of these!

      I’m only a few chapters into Swordheart and already completely obsessed! It’s so funny and charming. ♥ I’m so glad you’re enjoying The Foxglove King! And thank you, lovely!
