Merriam-Webster defines 'roundup' as a gathering in of scattered persons or things (source)
Replace 'persons or things' with 'BOOKS!' and you'll have what happens in my house every week as I try to keep control of my hoard :)
This is actually a couple of weeks worth. I went so long without buying that I went a little nuts this month - hehe :)

I want to read them all right now!!
How as your book haul week?
I love Handmaid's Tale! I've read it half a dozen times in the last ten years! I thought I chose that book for WBN but was given Language of Flowers, which I thought was my second choice but I probably switched them on accident...It is also an incredible book though.
ReplyDeleteLovely haul! I"m beyond curious about The Resurrectionist! That looks wicked awesome. I think this might be the first time I've seen Pulse but the cover is really gorgeous. I hope you enjoy them!
