July was my birthday month so I decided YOLO and bought all the Harry Potter 20th anniversary editions (I already have The Philosopher’s Stone in hardback). Missing from the collection is the Slytherin hardback (still waiting to be shipped), in case you’re wondering! As for non-Harry Potter books, I did pretty well and only bought 4 books, 3 of which are pre-orders. Also I want to say a huge thank you to Melanie for the wonderful books she got me for my birthday!

Beautiful haul Amy & a very happy belated birthday to you! Your stack of HP collector’s editions are stunning! Today I saw an unboxing of Reaper at the Gates with the turquoise sprayed edges that left me with stars & hearts in my eyes haha! but I really do need to start that series….but maybe those pages won’t eb around forever? SMH see?!? that’s how a bookworm thinks and the pockets suffer haha! Happy reading in August, I hope you enjoy all of your new books 🙂

Haha soooo many books so little time 😂. I got that Reaper edition with the sprayed edges from Goldsboro! Not sure if it’s still available but might be worth checking! The sad part is that the cover doesn’t match the first or second books from the series. *eye roll* Last I heard the publisher is supposed to release them but it’ll probably be in paperback. *cries* WHY do they do this to us? 😂

In finishing up my July in Review post I am ashamed at how badly I did with the ban last month lmao. May you have better control than me.
