Book Haul #9- Breaking the Ban...

So I know I'm on a ban, plus the whole #0by16 thing, but I have acquired quite a few books since my last book haul. There are only three of them that I actually bought, the rest were either from publishers, giveaways, or from gift card money. Plus I have also read most of them already. Links take you to the Goodreads page for each book.

That is all of them. 12 books in the last 2 months or so. But to me this still broke my book buying ban. I was only supposed to be able to buy Andrew Smith and Sarah J. Maas books, and as you can see only one of the 12 fits that profile.

Here is the first stack, this one has the book I have been waiting for forever, The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith. He will always be an auto-buy author and I plan to have this book finished in the next few days.
 


Then we have Dispatches from the Edge by Anderson Cooper.

Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts, I got this through ARCRecycling.

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray from a TopianGirl giveaway (and yes I now have 2 copies of this book).

Near Enemy and Shovel Ready by Adam Sternbergh. Near Enemy is from Crown Publishing for Review.

Then we have The Infinite and Gates of Thread and Stone by Lori M. Lee. I absolutley love this trilogy and everyone needs to read it.

The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson. Cannot wait to finish this trilogy as well.

Invaded by Melissa Landers. This is an ARC that just showed up at my apartment and it is signed which is super awesome!!! I know I have entered giveaways for it so I assume that is why I got it

Vicious by V. E. Schwab. Absolutley loved this one, read it as soon as I got it.

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. With everyone talking about it, I had to pick this one up and I enjoyed it. I know many people have conflicting thoughts about this one, but I liked it.

That is it for this book haul. Hopefully I can continue to stick with the ban and not get more books. I know if I keep adding books, I'm never going to finish #0by16. Right now I'm around 60 so I still have a lot of books to read.
