So I&#8217;ve never posted a book haul before but I&#8217;ve wanted to for such a long time. The thing is I only buy about 1 or 2 books a month, only sometimes more. I always thought I don&#8217;t have many books to include in a book haul post. But now I&#8217;ve decided I&#8217;ll post a book haul whenever I&#8217;ve acquired a few book.<\/p>\n<p>This haul includes all the books I&#8217;ve got in the first three months of 2017. It has a total of 9 books &#8211; 3 of these I bought myself, 4 were sent to me to review and 2 of these I won from giveaways.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"color:#000080;\"><strong>Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/img_20170312_155352.jpg?w=306&amp;h=413&amp;crop&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_20170312_155352\" width=\"313\" height=\"422\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/27904311-the-hammer-of-thor\">Goodreads Link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The book I was really anticipating for!
