Stacking the Shelves: July Book Haul

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Each week bloggers post the books they purchased or received.

The first two weeks of July I went to Spain, and I loved it! I visited Girona, a beautiful city which you might know because it is the setting of Game of Thrones. I found a lovely second-hand English bookstore in Girona and couldn't resist buying two books:

1. The Humans by Matt Haig


This book was in perfect condition!

2. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier


I've wanted to read this book for so long! Now I'm glad I finally picked it up!


Back in Belgium, I received a discount and ordered the following two books:

3. The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani


4. The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury

5. You by Caroline Kepnes


6. The Trouble With Women by Jacky Fleming


7. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Oz #1) by L. Frank Baum


I still haven't read this classic and I have no excuse, so I'll need to right that mistake :)

9. Traitor's Blade (Greatcoats #1) by Sebastien de Castell



10. Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle #1) by Jay Kristoff
