Another book haul in the month of December. I'm not sure if I'm going to add more book but for now, these are the books that I have bought and won from giveaway that I've had entered early this month.
Anyway, let's the haul begins.
#Books I've Bought From Popular RM5 Fiesta
Not buying much during the fiesta, because, I don't know, I don't find something that really really caught my heart. Hence, only two books.
1. Solitaire by Alice Oseman
Genre : Young Adult, Contemporary, Mystery
Synopsis
" I don't ever remember not being serious. As far as I'm concerned, I came out of the womb spouting cynicism and wishing for rain."
My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now.
Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden.
I don't know what Solitaire are trying to do. And I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't.
❉ I know nothing about this book. I just pick up this novel, because the cover is beautiful. Just by reading their synopsis, it looks like quite a nice story. I will save this book for next month to be read.

# Book I've Bought From MPH
