The BPR Monthly Haul includes everything from personal purchases, to ARCs sent from pubs, to library finds. Some months we strike gold and others … well, the gems can be a little elusive.

I’ve been seeing The Diviners series pop up a lot lately. Someone said that they are pretty scary books. Do you find that to be true?

I’m in love with all of these covers, even though they’re each so different! This month I’ve only had library hauls so far, but I’m hoping to buy myself a new book sometime soon, since nothing on my TBR is calling to me at the moment and I really don’t want to fall into a slump!

King of Crows!! I’m still waiting for that one from my library, but I’m definitely excited to finish off the series. Lobizona wasn’t on my radar before, but it looks really interesting as well 😀
