So here I am today with a long overdue Interliber* haul. I really outdid myself this year by purchasing no less than 17 books—and now I'm Broke with a capital B, but at least my bookshelf looks nice. Priorities.

*Interliber is a yearly book fair taking place in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia

Just a short disclaimer before we get to the real deal: I am by no means writing this post to brag about the books I have or could afford to buy. Like every other book fan, I enjoy talking about books, their beautiful covers and various editions and I felt like this type of posts is a great way to do so, while at the same time bringing some diversity to this blog. :)

>> The Wicked King by Holly Black

The first book on this list was actually not bought on Interliber but in a bookstore a couple of weeks before. I simply couldn't take the risk of it being sold out again and me having to wait for my local bookstore to restock it, again, so I impulsively purchased it the second I saw it. I had to include it in this haul though—I mean, who could resist that stunning cover?! *-*

>> Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

This book has been on my TBR for quite a while now and I even wanted to buy it last year but it got sold out before I could get to it. I can't wait to finally pick it up and see if it's as good as everyone's saying.

>> Circe by Madeline Miller

I'm a big fan of Greek mythology and Circe's story has piqued my interest since the first time I heard about her in Odyssey. I'm super curious to read Miller's version, especially since I've seen many mixed reviews.

>> The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo

I have to admit this has never been my favourite of Bardugo's works, but I simply couldn't resist these beautiful covers! Especially with the TV show in the works, I wanted to have these on my shelf and maybe give them another chance sometime.

>> Uprooted and Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

Honestly, I think I bought these mainly because I couldn't resist these gorgeous, Russia-inspired covers. But, I did read Uprooted a few years ago and liked it quite a lot, so I'm also pretty curious if Spinning Silver is as good.

>> One of Us Is Lying and Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen McManus

I read One of Us Is Lying exactly a year ago and it was a solid 3-star read for me. I've heard Two Can Keep a Secret was better though, so I definitely want to give McManus a shot again. (Also, can you tell I bought these mainly because of that super fun edition with coloured edges? So cool!)

>> Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han

(Croatian Edition)

Okay, I'll admit it: I still haven't read the first two books. But I just couldn't not have a completed series on my shelf, right?

>> A bunch of classics

Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde

These were all around €3 and—I know I say this a lot—but I really had to buy them. Like come on, such pretty editions of renowned classics, and you basically get three for the price of a single book. It was too good of an offer to pass on!

Have you read any of these books? Which are your favourites and which would you never buy?

Let me know in the comments section :)
