What books have you bought recently?
Okay all...just went to BAM to blow my Christmas bonus check (man that was FUN!!!) Karen and Jen, I did find a few books for you guys too :)
Blue Lily and The Raven King were both in hardback. I've been wanting to get those for my collection forever! And now I can reread the first 3 books and finally read The Raven King!!!
I also got several Funko Pops: Newt Scamander (not the one I really wanted but I finally gave in) Fred & George Weasley, Dobby, Mr. Darcy from P&P& Zombies, and Mrs. Potts and Chip from Beauty and the Beast :)
I just shot a haul video and should have it up soon! When I do, I'll leave the link!

I also bought Michael Crichton's book Micro. I've been wanting to read that book for awhile so I was happy with my finds. :)
Thanks Karen!
Okay, my video is up if you want to see me show off my shopping spree!

The author lives fairly close to me. She's always posting pics on IG within blocks of my house. I'd love to run into her at a nearby Starbucks while reading one of her books! One can dream, right!?

You can't read Trials of Apollo until you've finished the Heroes of Olympus series, so I'd start with Heroes of Olympus or Magnus Chase.
