Boxing Day Book Haul! The LAST ONE Until 2017!

Hey guys! Hope you had a wonderful holiday! I know I did and it was nice to relax and spend time with the fam. Boxing Day is the big "sale day" here in Canada so I knew I would have to stock up on books then. And with 50% off in store at BookOutlet, I was READY. 

The store opened up at 9am so I left my house by 7:20, got a Tim's tea, and sat in the parking lot and waited for the doors to open. I lined up outside at about 8:30 and was the third person in line behind two women who said they had done the Boxing Day sale every year for 10 years. I recommended books to other people waiting in line and was checking out the website to see what was in store that I needed to pick up. They opened the door at 8:55am and I grabbed a (broken) cart and headed into the store.


Because of the store's layout, I started with the young adult books. I went right for MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH and then UGLIES and AFTERWORLDS because I knew I needed to get those. I then hopped over to get the Fantasy books for Sarah so that I didn't have to worry about someone else grabbing them. Since they were in the next aisle, I had to maneuver my cart through a throng of people but I held my own. Within two minutes, I had 5 books in my cart.

After 15 minutes I had all these

I then went back to the Young Adult section and starting with the "A" authors, I browsed for anything that caught my eye or that the back of the book looked good. I also grabbed sequels that I was like, "well I have book one so I may as well grab book two even though I haven't read book one." Once I finished going through the Young Adult section twice, I headed over to the Science Fiction/Fantasy section to see what was there. I slowly went through this section seeing if there was any new series I wanted to start and I picked up some good stuff here too. 

After this, I visited the Manga/Graphic Novel section and grabbed SO MANY FABLES GRAPHIC NOVELS. It was awesome, I'm not going to lie. I wanted to grab some more manga but there weren't a whole lot there that I collect so I just grabbed a FAIRY TAIL and two volumes of LITTLE QUEEN. I then went through the audiobook section and picked up THE BANE CHRONICLES because I think these short stories sound better read aloud than reading them on paper (it's a psychological thing but I'm chill with it) and that was it! 

I put them into piles to count and estimate a total

Overall, I bought 39 books, 37 of them for me and my total bill was just shy of $130, making my books $3.33 a piece. Pretty good considering some of them were over $10 to start with! I have been and will be continuing to take pictures of all of them and post them on my instagram, but for now I will be posting a picture of the cover and linking you to the Goodreads page for them! I'm really excited to get to these next year and I'm glad I got as many as I did since I'm not buying anymore books until 2017!
