Happy belated Bday! I love birthday book hauls. Can't wait for mine. With you on Hocus Pocus. Love how pretty some of these are. I also have been failing my classics challenge but hoping to get back into it next month.

I hope you love the Way of Kings! Stormlight Archive is my favorite series right now, it’s so good! (And those UK covers are gorgeous). Man, what a great book haul!!! (Also Happy birthday month!) I really want to pick up the hard cover Ravenclaw hardcover editions. I also may have totally just ordered that Night Circus book, SO GORGEOUS. I have been wanting to buy a copy and that is the perfect copy! Thanks for highlighting it!! I also hope you love the Last Magician! It was such a fun book, and it takes place in NYC!! I’m so excited about the next book, The Devil’s Thief.

Happy Birthday! I decided to order the hardcovers for each house! The colors switch each book and the hardcovers have the striped pages which I love! If I ever come across the paperbacks super cheap I would probably get them, but at full price I can only manage the hardcovers.

I approve of Andrew’s introduction song 😂 Also, what better month than your birthday month to go all out with the book buying? 😉 I’m sorely tempted to pick up Circe too! Haven’t taken the plunge yet, but that UK cover is so lovely. And that edition of The Night Circus is amazing! I don’t have a copy for my shelf yet, but that may be the one I invest in. The UK edition of Spinning Silver is just so beautiful and I’m so happy it’s on my shelf! I’m glad you got that edition too. And, of course, this Minalima edition of The Secret Garden is equally beautiful and is my new favorite in my collection! I also love Legendary’s UK edition a lot 😍 And you know how I feel about the HP 20th anniversary editions - they are lovely! Sooooo excited for Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix! I cannot wait to see what happens next and from a different POV too. And it is SO exciting you’re in the acknowledgments!! Also, I am living for your Sabrina shirt ☺️

Yes Kill the Farm Boy is on my list as well! OMG Circe is incredible. It's one of the few books I've read recently that completely measured up to all of the hype! (and now here I am overhyping it...lol) AHH that's so lovely that Julie mentioned you! :') Okay I had just managed to talk myself out of buying those gorgeous hardcovers for Terry Pratchett's books because there are SO MANY...then you had to go and remind me of how beautiful they are! Lol I've heard great things about Always Never Yours but haven't picked it up yet so I'm really excited to hear your thoughts, Kristin! Okay as a fellow Shakespeare appreciator I would like to officially tag you in my Shakespeare Book Tag, if you'd like to do it, of course! Ah so many great books! Going wild with birthday book shopping is totally acceptable imho lol

I just bought, or my friend bought for me, Nevernight. I am apprehensive about the sequel to Hocus Pocus. In my opinion, random sequels that people make just because the original was so great and fans asked for it, are rarely good. At the same time, I want to know how the heck the witches come back since at the end of the movie they blow up. I finally read Mistborn: the Final Empire and loved it. Since my mom orders for me what I buy online, I'm thinking about asking her to order Way of Kings and Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb, but she might say no since I have a class and she will be like you don't need to get two more books right now.
