August Book Haul

To go nicely with the theme of summer (... books, of course!...) I spent quite a bit of time adding some books to my library that I have read and loved, and others that I intend to read soon based on recommendations. I scored some truly wonderful books this month at some astonishingly low prices- I didn't pay more than 2 bucks for anything on this list! I would love to include a small summary or note/review with each item, but because I bought SO MANY this month, I am just going to leave the list, as well as a link to the website of the store I bought it in. As always, I would love to hear from you on Goodreads, or at my blog on tumblr! Send me your recommendations and reviews!
