Stacking the Shelves: October 2018 Book Haul



Stacking the Shelves is a meme co-hosted by Reading Reality and Tynga's Reviews (the image above belongs to these blogs too). Each week bloggers share the books they got.

Since I haven't read anything at all so far in the month of November, it's safe to say I'm still in a massive reading slump. October was a little bit better which is why I do have some books to share in my October book haul!


1. Muse of Nightmares (Strange the Dreamer #2) by Laini Taylor 



Strange the Dreamer was one of my favourite books last year and I can't wait to read what happens next!

2. In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park


I have been wanting to read this book since it came out. I requested it in my local library but it was rejected because it didn't fit into the collection... I believe this will be a difficult read but I'm so there for that.

3. Wildcard (Warcross #2) by Marie Lu 


Warcross was another one of my favourite reads last year and I really want to read it soon!

4. Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith


I read the first three books this year and really want to read this one as well in the same year.

5. The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings #2) by Mackenzi Lee


Same as with Warcross and Strange the Dreamer, I loved the first book and this was one of my most anticipated releases. It feels awful that just now that they have been released I have to be in such a slump.

6. Book Love by Debbie Tung


This was a fun and relatable read, perfect for book lovers! I got an e-arc from Netgalley and you can find my review here.

7. Loading Penguin Hugs: Heartwarming Comics from Chibird by Jacqueline Chen


Another Netgalley e-arc, already read and enjoyed it but still need to review it.


I also got the book The Indian Corps on the Western Front when I was in the Passchendaele museum because that was partly the subject of my thesis.

  2. Wow! What a great haul! I also got Book Love and I can't wait to read it! Also, where did you get the UK edition of the blue Strange the Dreamer book? I saw the red Muse of Nightmares over on Book Depository, but I can't find the blue copy of Strange the Dreamer anywhere.

    Here’s my Stacking the Shelves!

    1. Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy Book Love as much as I did!
      I got the UK hardcover when it came out. I can still find the cover on bol.com (site based in the Netherlands and Belgium) but I'm not sure if it has sprayed pages.
