Book Haul/// Books of September, Part- I. (Thrillers Galore!)

Hello!

Time for another book haul. And this time it's one my favourite kinds of books to haul--- Psychological Thrillers!

I have already read 2/4 books shown here. I love that about these books that I couldn't wait to read these books. I wanted to get cracking the moment I got my hands on them.

You will find reviews for each of these books on the blog.

I loved all these books. I love buying books- you knew that already, but I absolutely love buying books and reading them as soon as I get them. Like I used to years ago. I didn't have such an elaborate library back then and a new book meant immediate reading. I sometimes miss that about my reading life, as much as I love having my large personal library. I miss buying books when I needed something to read.

I got all of these books from Amazon.

Let's see what I added my bookshelves recently.

Books Bought:

The Girls- Emma Cline

Closed Casket- Sophie Hannah for the Agatha Christie Estate

Behind Closed Doors- BA Paris

Fates and Furies- Lauren Groff

Happy Reading folks :)
