Book Haul: June 2017

Hey guys! I have a massive book haul for June; a total of 42 books! This has been a great month for me when it comes to book collecting! I went to BookCon for the second time, June 3rd and 4th, and was able to snag some pretty cool books, swag, and ARCs (Advanced Reader’s Copies); along with getting some books signed by my favorite authors! It was an amazing experience! Now on to the haul..!

• Gwendy’s Button Box- Stephen King
• Pork Pie Hat- Peter Straub
