First Book Haul Of The Year | Your True Shelf

[@BookishChas]

Awesome haul! So excited that you got Scythe!

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@BookishChas thanks Chas, me too!

[@thebrothersgwynne]

Another Boudica stan 🫡 Dreaming The Hound is, yet again, a heartbreaker for sure! I definitely know what you mean regarding Westerns, however I respect McMurtry enormously and think he writes with a massive element of honestly regarding these subjects. Thanks for the shoutout, hope you enjoy reading some Iggulden! Ed

[@YourTrueShelf]

It's just the most amazing series!! I want everyone to know about it! Thanks for the reassurance re Lonesome Dove - I've heard universally positive things. Yes I'm sure I will enjoy Iggulden 😊 No worries for the shout out 👍🏻

[@CharlieBrookReads]

The House on The Strand is sooooo good. Hope you enjoy all these lovely 📚❤️

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@CharlieBrookReads oh great, it's a good sign that you loved it 😊 xx

[@andreadavies5971]

Have read the Echo of Old Books and throughly enjoyed it.

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@andreadavies5971 oh brilliant! Thanks for letting me know 😊

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I hope you enjoy all of your new books! I need to read more Daphne Du Maurier after loving rebecca as well. Hehe so many series. I have read the first book in the Scythe series! And I really enjoyed the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood. I still need to get around to the rest of her books but she is a good writer. I remember reading the silence of the girls and really liking it too, although I haven't read more since (and that was a while ago for me too now!). I recently hauled in a copy of my friends as well because of both the libya setting and the reviews being so good. Great haul!

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@OliviasCatastrophe thanks so much. I like that our tastes overlap because if you have enjoyed or recommended something, chances are that I will too 😊

[@JessicasLibraryCard]

I've heard great things about the Shauna Lawless series! I loved Rebecca but haven't read any of the author's other books, so I'm definitely interested to hear how she handles a different genre.

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@JessicasLibraryCard yes me too, I'm sure it'll be a good one 😊 I'll report back about Daphne 😊

[@rebecca.reader]

I am also reading The Temple of Fortuna, the last book in the Wolf Den trilogy at the moment. It's SO good!!! I enjoyed the first book but the second and third are totally awesome. I hope you are enjoying them too. Happy New Year, Sarah!

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@rebecca.reader I finished the third at the weekend! So good!! The description of the volcano is amazing. I will miss Amara and family a lot 🥹 Happy New Year to you too 😊

[@rebecca.reader]

@YourTrueShelf aww. Yes, the volcano part is what I am reading now. Will probably finish the book tonight or tomorrow morning. I can't wait for her new book coming out later this year!

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@rebecca.reader oh yes me too!!! So exciting 🥰

[@eyesonindie]

Oh gosh you are such a better mom than me...I never read the book first before my son and have been in some tricky situations because of it!!! 😂 The Chronicles Of Whetherwhy sounds like it would be up my kiddo's alley. And that Daphne de Maurier book sounds INCREDIBLE!

[@YourTrueShelf]

Ahhh not at all, I read them first as I like middlegrade and they were either not born yet or too young when I first got the books 😂 I also love reading classic children's books eg can't wait to read the secret garden with them 😊

[@AaronReadABook]

I'm interested in how you find House on The Strand because I haven't read it since I was a teenager but I still have vivid memories of parts of it. Yay Lonesome Dove! I'm always surprised by how big it is because I wish it was longer.

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@AaronReadABook it says lonesome dove is part of a quartet... Have you read the rest?

[@AaronReadABook]

@@YourTrueShelf No but I have the prequel. Most people seem to think them unnecessary but I know Summer from Sterling Reads thinks Comanche Moon is her favourite. I will eventually read them all I think. LD is about old guys, I like them as old guys.

[@josmith5992]

Well that’s your reading sorted for the year! 😂 I have heard nothing but good things about Lonesome Dove so I’m sure you will love it!

[@YourTrueShelf]

Can you imagine if that's all the books I bought this year!! X

[@josmith5992]

Maybe it will be….😂(not)

[@suz3372]

Have you read Kindred by Octavia E. Butler? I am currently reading it for my literature class. It uses time travel to tell the story.

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@suz3372 yes I have and I thought it was a great book 😊

[@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing]

I don’t think you need to reread silence of the girls to read women of Troy.

[@YourTrueShelf]

@@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing brilliant news! 🥰
