Hi everyone,
I’m not going to lie, this is possibly my favourite post to do every month! ๐Mainly because I get to write a list of books, and accompany it with pictures of the books I’ve added to my shelves ๐
For anyone who doesn’t know, this post is where I list out all the books that I have acquired over the course of the month. There are usually some ARC’s, along with books I have been asked to review, and any that I have bought or downloaded!
Not a whole lot else I can say, except don’t judge and I am obsessed with books! ๐๐๐ผ

So, there you have it! 77 books have come through the doors at Chez Bibliophile during the month of August! ๐ I’ve included any photos I have too, just in case you’re like me and enjoy pictures of books! ๐๐
Have you read any? Are there any I should bump up the TBR? Do let me know in the comments below… ๐
Hi, Wow that’s a good list! This post is dangerous as it makes me want to scope out the blurbs for them and see if I want them! Like I don’t have a long wish list as it is lol. I haven’t read any but love Alex Barclay so would recommend bumping hers up.
๐ happy blurb-checking! I’ve been keeping an eye out for Alex’s book since I got The Drowning Child! ๐
Wow! How impressive is this?! Finger on the pulse, or what, Kate!
I think I have a book buying addiction Alison! ๐
Oh Kate I just love this! ๐ I haven’t been posting book hauls because seeing the number that I’ve accumulated in a month makes me nervous, I already know it’s ridiculous!
๐ I just like book lists and pictures ๐
I am a fan of lists, and I can spend hours looking at bookstagram! ๐๐
Me too! ๐
OMG XD So jealous!!! Enjoy Don’t you cry ^^
The Water Knife and The Girl with all the Gifts. I thought both of those were jolly!
x The Captain
TGWATG is a book club read for this month, and I’m really looking forward to reading it!
I would recommend that you bump The Secret History straight to the top. It is my favorite book and you will not be disappointed. And once you are addicted to Donna Tartt I would follow up with The Goldfinch and Little Friend.
I’ve read The Goldfinch, and really didn’t enjoy it! I bought TSH to see if I might like that one instead!
I just finished Nod by Adrian Barnes. A fascinating read. Didn’t expect it to be so engaging!!
That’s great to hear! I still haven’t read it! ๐
