Black Friday Books! 🫶🏻

I’m so glad I waited to get Fourth Wing and The Games Gods Play! I got Fourth Wing for $10 and The Games Gods Play for $14!! It was steal in my opinion 🤗

There were a few others I would have liked to get, but with Christmas around the corner I need to save my money for Christmas presents (that aren’t for myself🤪)

I’m so in love with how pretty The Games Gods Play is!! It’s my favorite color and has gorgeous sprayed edges and even more gorgeous artwork inside the cover! 🤩

What books did you get with these Black Friday sales?
