Is it overly excessive to be sharing your book hauls with your fellow bloggers? A lot of us do Saturday sharings, wherein we showcase our new selections. A lot of people enjoy these kinds of posts, but has it become too consistent? Is there an actual need to share your new goodies to strangers and make them envious of your catch? I sometimes hate to share my hauls because I do get emails asking me how I got those ARCs or from who, they even ask for my contacts. I just ignore those, but don’t they irk you?
I’m a Filipina blogger so my ARCs are limited due to international reasons, if I were from the US that would be heaven for me. I actually got to collect a number of contacts already, but unfortunately half of those only send out to Canadian or US residents. It tore my heart into pieces, but I still enjoy looking at other book hauls.
The real reason for me to love hauls is because I love photography. There are bloggers who take the time to arrange their books and make them look model-ready for the picture. I try to make the effort as well. 
Whenever my favorite bloggers post their hauls, I get that butterfly feeling and wish that I lived next door. Won’t it be amazing to have a blogger friend just a block away? So, to answer my earlier question, I don’t think hauls are excessive or consistent. People should do them more. It makes our blog more colourful and vibrant, people get sick of reading reviews. We should allow readers to only have a glance to make sure they come back for more.
A lot of us are envious folks, but wanting makes us human. Just don’t go overboard…like what those other clueless folks did to me. Who does that?! If you want ARCs go look for them yourself.
