Welcome to another TTT! This week’s topic was submitted by Alecia @ The Staircase Reader, and features books I loved so much that I had to buy a copy for my personal library. I chose to narrow the scope of the topic a little bit and only share books I’ve received for review over the years. Some of these were so amazing that I bought a physical copy and an audiobook copy!
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
After reading this, I had to have the hardback and I have since bought the audio and now there’s a new dramatized version with sound effects and I had to have that, too!
2. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
3. Eighty Days to Elsewhere by K.C. Dyer
Another one I adored and had to have the paperback and the audio!
4. Well Played by Jen DeLuca
5. The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
This is one of my favorite Christmas books, and the audio is so so magical. I actually listened to the audio first and then bought the paperback for my collection.
6. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
I received each book in this series for review as they were released (my name is even in some of them!) and I swear, I own them all in so many different formats that it’s not even funny. LOVE this series.
7. Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard
This book changed my life, and I had to have the finished hardback.
8. The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson
My ARC didn’t even have a cover, so of course I had to get the hardback when it was all finished. This book is perfection.
9. Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
Sooooo many warm fuzzies for this book. And when I saw this pretty UK cover I knew it was meant to be a part of my library. And yes, I’ve seen the recently released movie and it was wonderful!
10. Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco
This book is amazing and one of my favorite books to read during the spooky season, so I had to get in on audio even though my ARC sits prettily on my shelf!
Do you enjoy building your physical book collection as much as I do?
Do you collect the books you plan to re-read someday?
Great looking list – I’ve had A Court of Thorn & Roses on my TBR for ages – maybe I should move it up the list! Have a great week of reading…..

Great list of interesting pick. I completely agree with ACOTAR and The Hating Game. The latter almost made my list! Can’t wait to read everyone’s pick for this week’s fun prompt.

Have a great week :)
Love and Gelato always sounds so dang fun and cute. :)
I don’t have the luxury of being able to borrow many books, so I had to twist today’s topic. However, I am looking forward to seeing all those lists. Thanks.
OOoh nice! I had to tweak the topic a little bit since I 99% of the time always buy a finished copy of a book after reading the ARC. Unless I didn’t like the book that well, which has happened–just not that often!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

I was lucky enough to find Cinder in a Little Free Library or I would have wanted to buy it!
Great choices! I also sometimes buy the audiobook after reading an ARC that I loved.
Oh yes ACOTAR and The Lunar Chronicles are in my list too!

Nice selection of books. Have a lovely week
I still need to read The Lunar Chronicles! I’ve heard so many good things about that series.
Oh, I love ACOTAR. I was given the first three Stalking Jack books as ARCs which is why I need to re-read them. I re-read the first already, so now it’s books 2 + 3 before I can FINALLY read the fourth book, which I have owned since it came out. hah
Now I wish I had thought to add Cinder. Thanks for sharing today.
I love The Lunar Chronicles series! How fun that your name is in some of them :)
Happy TTT!

I totally agree with The Hating Game, I could read that one over and over again!
