this is an original feature inspired by HAWWA, ETC! my version is slightly different because i’ll be sharing non-bookish stuff as well as bookish stuff. this is different from my book hauls because these generally showcase less items. anyway.. enjoy!
i suppose october is the month i bring out all the features that i thought of last year and only made one or two posts about HAH. i love packages and got more things since my last haul (yes, i KNOW please don’t judge; i love getting stuff) so i decided to share it with you!
books!!!
passenger, by alexandra bracken
i received this lovely package from disney-hyperion! thank you, disney!! <33 i know this was also in my book haul but i wanted to add this here because i didn’t get to share a photo of what else it included: a PASSENGER passport holder, luggage tag, and notebook! i am sooooo using these the next time i travel. (also i finished the book. it was FANTASTIC. i cannot wait for you to read it!!)
through the dark, by alexandra bracken
this was also a package from disney-hyperion. i love disney – the publishing company and more. i’ve been dying to get my hands on this hardcover for a couple of reasons: 1/ i LOVE alexandra bracken and the darkest minds, 2/ more adventures about TDM world, 3/ the cover!! *heart eyes* I ALSO HAVE A GIVEAWAY FOR THIS BOOK WHICH YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT.
the rose society, by marie lu
this was recently released and wasn’t in my last haul! i’m currently reading an enjoying it so far. although adelina scares me quite a bit, i really like her character! this past week has been a little rough so i haven’t been able to read as much as i’d like, but THE ROSE SOCIETY was one of my most anticipated releases of this year! you can read my review + discussion for THE YOUNG ELITES here!
the iron trial, by holly black and cassandra clare
i won this at a giveaway from chiara at delicate eternity! i already have a US hardcover edition but this version is so nice i wouldn’t mind having two copies. also, it’s signed! thanks, chiara, for hosting the giveaway <33 i’m excited to read the book.
…and everything else
pre-order goodies from st. martin’s press
these were from two different promotions: SIX OF CROWS, by leigh bardugo and CARRY ON, by rainbow rowell. the SIX OF CROWS poster is beautiful and wonderful and makes me so happy. i’ve already stuck it on my wall so if you see it my future photos… *cheeky grin* the CARRY ON “party set” is fun too! it included tattoos, a balloon, a pin, these packet things (wipes?), and best of all, a coloring version of the CARRY ON cover. i’m too scared of actually coloring it though because i’m afraid it’ll get messed up in some way *sigh*
magnetic bookmarks
i’ve been eyeing the bookmarks at happy hello art for ages and finally ordered a few for myself! when i saw all my favorites – celaena, percy jackson, the raven boys… – were back in stock, i couldn’t help myself. they’re so adorable and i can’t wait to use them. reading buddies!!
The passport holder & luggage tag are amazing! And I need those Celaena and Percy Jackson bookmarks ASAP.
The last package I got was from my illustrator friend who sent me some of her art postcards and the cutest fart sticker ever! ;P
I am so jealous of all the stuff that comes with the Passenger ARC! It’s all so gorgeous *heart eyes* I just got my Carry On preorder package too- it’s so great! I’m pretty sure the packets are tea. I am super scared to color the dust cover, but I am also super excited too! Those magnetic bookmarks are gorgeous and I’ve kind of been wanting to get some of them too… I might finally do that.
I also really like the idea of this feature! I kind of want to do it myself- would you mind? I’d credit the idea of course. 🙂
of course! i’m excited to see what’s in your mailbox as well! 🙂
I am so jealous of all the preorder stuff and I wish I could avail of them. ;______; I mean, look at all that stuff for SoC! *cries* Warn me when you’re doing this for Truthwitch, or else I’ll just die from the jealousy.
Those bookmarks are adorable! And the Carry On hand wipes look kind of random? Maybe they aren’t hand wipes, but that immediately came to mind! The color-in cover is a neat idea though!
The beauty in this post is so over the roof. LOVE YOUR PICTURES UGH JUST GIVE ME A PHOTOSHOOT ALREADY! (;D) You did get a ton of great books! The Passenger swag pack is just beautiful and the luggage tag and passport holder? Yes! And the ARC is just beautiful as well. Rose Society? Ugh so excited to read that one. Was able to get an ARC for The Young Elites last year and sinse I have finished that book I have been DYING to find out what happens next! Hoping to get to Six of Crows and Queen of Shadows before 2016 (TIME, WHERE HAVE YOU GONE1?) Carry On has really been a hyped book and I will definitely hope to read it after I read Fangirl…. (Haven’t read it yet! oops! :P) Great post and pics, thanks for sharing!

OMG why is everything about you so beautiful?! Teach me interior designs and photography please. The Passenger packet you receive has me SALIVATING, it is so gorgeous! I hope you enjoy the book. I finished Young Elites last night and URGH I NEED ROSE SOCIETY IMMEDIATELY. WHAT IS WITH THAT ENDING?! Six of Crows swag has me in fits of jealousy because Aussies gets ignored even though I want the poster too *sobs dramatically* BASICALLY I WANT TO STEAL ALL OF THE THINGS FROM YOU. INCLUDING YOUR ROOM.
