Hello!
Ahhh, what happened to October? I have my October book haul to share with you guys today. I’ve been pretty good this year about not buying a ton of books this year. This month I did buy a few more than I usually have been. Sorry for not taking pictures of the books, but I’ll share the cover from Goodreads though.
Amazon
Escape from Asylum by Madeleine Roux
Without Merit by Colleen Hoover
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand
Lots of release day books that I got this month. I will buy (and read) ANYTHING Colleen Hoover writes, so I had to get Without Merit. I am super stoked to read it and may try to read it in November. I have a love/hate for John Green books, but I seen Amazon had signed copies of Turtles All the Way Down, so I decided to get it. I got The Afterlife of Holly Chase because I needed more “Christmasy” books to read in December and I heard that this one is supposed to be a retelling of A Christmas Carol, so I’m stoked! And Escape from Asylum goes along with the two books I got below.
Book Outlet
Catacomb by Madeleine Roux
The Asylum Novellas by Madeleine Roux
I somehow managed to get through this year so far by only making two Book Outlet purchases. They currently have SO MANY books that I want to by, but I haven’t caved in! I did for these two though, because I wanted to have them for my Halloween TBR. Sadly, I didn’t get around to reading them though. I’m currently reading Catacomb now, but I most likely won’t have it finished before the end of tomorrow. I really enjoy the Asylum series though, so I am looking forward to reading them all. Book Outlet didn’t have Escape from Asylum, which is why I got it from Amazon.
Goodwill
TMI by Patty Blount
What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
Went on a random trip to Goodwill with my mom and she got me these two books. TMI sounded pretty good. I haven’t read any books by Sarah Dessen, but I have a couple of them and everyone seems to love her books. I am looking forward to checking them out and seeing why everyone loves her books so much. Goodwill had What Happened to Goodbye, so I picked it up.
E-Books
Unnatural Deeds by Cyn Balog
The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
When I Die by Barry Lyga
I am SUPER behind on reading Barry Lyga’s short stories and I need to catch up. When I Die is his story for October. I mentioned it before, but he’s releasing a new story every single month and it’s only available during that month. All money goes to helping the American Civil Liberties Union. ACLU defends the First Amendment. I already have a physical copy of The Sword of Summer, but the e-book was was on sale, so I got a copy of that version too. I am actually currently reading it along with Catacomb. I’ve had Unnatural Deeds on my TBR, so I was excited to see it on sale.
That’s all for my October book haul. What books did you get this month? Feel free to link me to your book haul posts, so I can check them out!

I’m so excited for the Afterlife of Holly Chase too! I hope it’s as good as I am thinking it will be. 😀
Hey Ashley! I agree with Larkin up above, looking forward to The Afterlife of Holly Chase, eeeeeK! *sings* ‘it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ 🙂 think I’ll enjoy this one since I loved scrooge so much haha! Happy reading & you did way better than I did with hauling books this month *sobs*
HEY! 🙂 I can’t wait to read The Afterlife of Holly Chase! I am really hoping it is as good as it sounds and I think it’ll be. I am so ready for Christmas (and also not ready at all, haha). Thanks! Ahhh, can’t wait to see the books that you got.
Nice haul Ashley. I read the first book from the Asylum series once. Haven’t got a chance to read the rest yet, but it was really good.
Thank you! I hope you get a chance to read the other books in the Asylum series. So far the first two books have been great and the third that I am currently reading is pretty good so far too.
I have never read anything by Colleen Hoover *hides behind blanket*
I have been really good not buying new books at all this year but this month and the next I have bought some new books the ones I got home in October I have done a blogpost of and you can see it here….

You definitely should try out a Colleen Hoover book! I’ve loved all of her books so far. Thank you for linking me to your haul post! 😀
Yeah people have tried to make me read her books for forever and I have no idea why I haven´t already. Maybe my huge shelf of unread book! 😛
Great haul, Ashley! I hope you’ll enjoy the John Green book and all of the others 🙂 xx
Thanks, Marie! 😀 Can’t wait to read them.
