November Wrap-Up and Book Haul

November was an amazing month for book hauls as it was my birthday and I was completely spoiled. My family and friends bought me a mountain of new books, including a selection of beautiful Folio Society titles. I was meant to be on a book-buying ban but that didn’t quite work out as planned…
