Missed last week due to moving back to uni, so this is 2 weeks worth of books. Pretty pleased with the books I got this week, particularly my finds in The Works! A lot of the time I can only find book 2 or 3 in a series on their 3 for £5 deal, but this week I got lucky and found several of my wishlist books!
Playing around with slightly different set ups for this post in the next few weeks, so sorry things look a bit different to usual!

That’s it from me this week, so far I prefer this format to my usual Stacking the Shelves, but I’ll see how I feel next week! Feel free to let me know what you think – do you prefer having a post roundup included? How was your book haul this week?
I have been avoiding The Works, so easy to buy a bagful of books! Glad you found some bargains though. I loved Amity & Sorrow, Pure and If I Stay. Enjoy!
I got excited when I saw the Kresley Cole book, but then realized that it’s just the UK version of one that I’ve read already 🙁 You got some great books this week, hope you enjoy them all.
Ooooh fantastic haul! I absolutely LOVED Dear Thing and I really hope you enjoy it 🙂 I’ve also heard really good things about Amity & Sorrow and Ink 🙂
Hope you enjoy reading 🙂
Happy Sunday,

My Showcase Sunday if you’d like a look
Great haul! Enjoy Icons, I wish I could get them. And I cannot wait to start Under the Never Sky.
Happy reading!
My books!
I love the cover from Ink and I can’t wait to read Icons & Under the never sky.
Happy reading 😀

I love the UK book covers of Under the Never Sky and Through The Ever Night. So pretty. Curious about Ink
Dude I totally just read Under the Never Sky this past week! REALLY REALLY REALLY liked it! Review won’t be coming for a while though. I have Through the Ever Night in my possession, but I have to make myself wait to read it because I need to read some review books first! Looks like you’ve had a great week!

Heh, I went to The Works this week too, despite knowing I would buy books if I did *shame face*. You have a fantastic haul there, hope you enjoy them all, and have a super week! 🙂
I’ve seen The First Rule of Swimming everything this week in STS wish I could get it, but alas I’m on a Netgalley ban till I review all my Netgalley books anyway LOL
