Book Haul #6

Today I am going to share a book haul with you of the books I bought in the month of May! I got a BN gift card as a wedding gift from my wonderful cousin Mikey so I went a little crazy and bought 4 books from Barnes and Nobel a few days ago. I also bought a book in the beginning of the month as well, so I thought that I would include it in this haul since I have not read it yet.


If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch. This is a newer release book from this year that I thought sounded really interesting. It's about a girl who has lived with her sister and mentally ill mother in a camper in the woods all her life until her mom goes missing. Anything that says or has mentally ill things in it immediately attracts my attention because I find those topics really interesting for some reason. This will be a book that I will definitely do a review on once I read it!

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I have heard so, so many great things about this book. I have always wanted to pick it up but I have never remembered seeing it in stores and I kept forgetting about it while shopping online. A lot of book tubers on youtube rave about this book so I am really happy that I finally purchased it.

Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan. This is also a newer release book that I am so excited to read. I really loved Andrea Cremer's Nightshade book even though I didn't continue with the rest of the series, and I have always wanted to read more from David Levithan. This book sounds so great and I can't wait!

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins. This is another book that I've heard good things about but kept forgetting to pick it up. I'm glad I finally did because I'm really in the mood for a great fantasy book and this one sounds perfect. I just finished the last book in the Shadowfalls series by C.C Hunter and when I read the description of this one it kind of reminded me of it a little bit so I got super excited.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithian. I know I just said this but I really wanted to read more from David Levithan so that is one of the reasons I picked this one up. I've heard it's really great and I never seen the movie for it either so I'm excited.

That is all for my book haul, I hope you all enjoyed and Happy Reading. :)

Book Haul #5

Hello Everyone! Today I am going to do a book haul of all the books that I purchased throughout last month in March. I am excluding Crash and Burn by Michael Hassan because I have already done a review on this book (you can read it here)  so I don't feel the need to include it in a haul.



The Promise of Stardust by Priscille Sibley is a book that I randomly saw at Target while looking at books and I thought it sounded really good. I looked up reviews for this book on Goodreads and almost everyone gave this book a 5/5 or 4/5 stars! It's about a man whose wife is left brain dead after a terrible accident, and he knows that she would want to be taken off life suppose instead of living a slow and painful death. Then the doctors find out that she is pregnant and he is stuck with trying to decide to give the baby a chance. Now tell me this book doesn't sound completely amazing. I'm a sucker for sad heart breaking stories. Call me crazy but this book sounds beautiful.

Whats Left of Me by Kat Zhang. This is a YA book that I thought sounded really great as well. In this book, everyone is born with two souls but as they grow up one soul fades away. But for Addie and Eva, neither of them faded away and both of them still remain in one body. Finally Eva was said to be gone, but she's not and only Addie knows she's still there. This book sounds super interesting and amazing.

The Secret Circle by L.J. Smith. Actually this is the book I am currently reading and I will have a review up soon. I have been wanting to pick up this book for a while now because I started to watch the TV series when it came on the CW a while back. I absolutely loved the show, but I never finished watching season 1. I was skeptical about picking this one up though, because I don't exactly like this author. I've read quite a few other books by her before, and I never really enjoyed them but I thought I'd give this ones try because I really love books on witchcraft.

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. Oh my god. I cannot wait to read this book! I just got it in the mail toady and I will definitely be reading this one first after I finish The Secret Circle. I went to pick this book up at Target last week the day after it was released and it was already sold out! I was so sad so I just ordered it online and had to wait for it to come in the mail. /cry.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. This is another book that has a lot of read ratings and reviews on Goodreads. I think this one is a newer release just in the past month or two (I could be wrong). I've been loving YA contemporary fiction lately and I can't wait to read this one.

The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa. This is another one that I have been wanting to pick up for a while. I really love Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series, so I wanted to give this one a try too. I was also skeptical to pick this one up too because I'm not really into vampire books anymore but I've herd good things about this so why not? Also, I'm kind of sad that they changed the cover for this book. I really liked the old one better.

Hate List by Jennifer Brown. This book sounded really good to me and interesting as well. It's about a girl named Valerie and her boyfriend Nick who both make a hate list for people they dislike but Nick uses this list to pick his targets when he brings a gun to school.

That is all for my book haul. I hope you all enjoyed and Happy Reading! :)

Book Haul #4

Hello Everyone! Today I am going to share a haul from Barnes and Nobel of books that I purchased this weekend. I really love going into Barnes and Nobel because there is just something so great about being in a bookstore. I normally purchase my books online from bn.com because they are cheaper, but since I don't live around a bookstore I tend to splurge a little bit when I go in them.

In Honor and Moonglass by Jessi Kirby. One of my favorite book bloggers, Sarah, from yaloveblog.com/ recommended me to read Jessi Kiry's books since I'm really into YA Contemporary books right now! I am really excited that I found both of these books on the shelves and I can't wait to read them! I absolutely love the cover of Moonglass, it's so pretty.

The Archived by Victoria Schwab. I was kind of skeptical about buying this book, I really wanted to try it out because it sounds so different than any other fantasy book that I've read. Sometimes when I pick up books like these, I tend to get disappointed if I don't enjoy them. I think I was too curious about this book though to not pick it up.

Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass. This is another book that I'm really excited to read. It has tons of good reviews on goodreads and it's one I've been wanted to pick up for a while.


That is all for my book haul, I hope you all enjoyed and happy reading!

Book Haul #3

Hello Everyone! Today I am going to share with you my first book haul of 2013! I did not purchase any books last December so I was definitely ready for some new books to be added to my collection. I still have tons of books that I purchased last year that I have not read yet but it's just a great feeling to buy new books.


The books I got were:

 The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I am excited to read this book and it's one that I have been meaning to pick up for a while now. I have never read this or seen the movie but I've herd wonderful things about both so I can't wait!

 An Abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns by John Green.  I absolutely love John Green. He is such a phenomenal writer and he has quickly became one of my favorite authors. These are the only two books I have not read by him yet. I have been wanting to order these online and I finally did and I am so happy. I have yet to be disappointed by any of his book so we shall see how these ones are. :)

Ask The Passengers by A.S King. I have not read anything by A.S King but I have herd wonderful things about this book from friends and it has a lot of great reviews. After reading the description of this book I looked up her other books as well and I definitely want to read them also.                  
 
The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa. I am in love with The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. I was so sad when the series ended but I was so excited when I herd the author was writing another book set in the same world with a new main character. I herd that this book is great also and I can't wait to read it.


This is all for my book haul so you can expect some book reviews from me in the near future! I hope you all enjoyed my book haul and Happy Reading!

Book Haul #2

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share a book haul here on my blog of all the books that I recently purchased. Most of them are from Barnes and Nobel, I can not help myself when I go in there from buying too many books. Please ignore the horrible lighting on the picture below! I took it when it was dark in my house and apparently I don't have very good lighting ahh!!



The first book I purchased was The Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling. I got this one last week the day after it came out. I was super excited about this book because I was unaware that J.K was releasing another book! It was totally unexpected, so like a little fan girl I freaked out and went and bought the book. I can't wait to read it, and I will probably be starting it some time this weekend.

The Hobbit book that you see in the picture is actually an illustrated edition of the book and it is like a graphic novel. They had a huge display at Barnes and Nobel of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'm a huge fan of LOTR and I thought this edition of The Hobbit was pretty cool. I have not read all of the actual book, so I may read this graphic novel edition first.

I also picked up another John Green book which is Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I recently read The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska and loved them both. I plan to read all of John Green's books so this one will be next on my list!

I was really excited when I seen Whispers at Moonrise by C.C. Hunter, which is the 4th book in the Shadow Falls series. I totally forgot it came out this month and I absolutely love this series so I was so happy when I seen it.

Lastly, I picked up The Iron Legends by Julie Kagawa. This is a collection of three novellas from the Iron Fey series. I do want to read this but I don't think I will be reading it anytime soon. I don't exactly remember what happens in all of the books so I might get confused when I read the novellas because they are short stories in between the books in the series. I pretty much just wanted it to have it as part of my series collection LOL. It is on my fall TBR list though, so hopefully I will get around to reading it sometime this fall.

I hope you all enjoyed my book haul and thanks for reading!

Book Haul #1

Hello Everyone! I'm going to share a small book haul with you from books that I purchased this weekend. Even though I have so many books that I have not read yet sitting on my shelf, I cannot help myself from always buying more books.




I purchased The second, third, and fourth book in The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin which are A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, and A Feast for Crows. I'm still currently reading A Game of Thrones right now. I did not purchase the fifth book, A Dance with Dragons because I am waiting for the mass market paper back edition to come out because that is what my other books in the series are. I'm sure I won't be reading these anytime soon because they are so long but I wanted them a part of my book collection!

I also purchased The Fault in our Stars by John Green. This is one of the books on my fall TBR list and I am so excited to read it.

The last book I bought is Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. I have not herd anything about this book but it was recommended to me by one of my family members. It sounds really good and different from any book that I've read before so I am really excited to read it!

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed my book haul!
