Book Haul #7

Hello!! Today I am going to share a book haul of all the books I picked up recently. I had felt the urge to add to my never ending TBR pile on my book shelf.

The first 4 books in the picture are the first 4 books in the Pretty Little Liars series. I have wanted to watch this TV show but was curious if the books were better. I saw someone reading one of them in my work and asked if they were good books and got good feed back on them. I decided to buy the box set for the first 4 books because it was only $20 as opposed to $10 for one book. Better deal!

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins. After reading this authors first book, Anna and the French Kiss, I had to get this one too. I'm so excited to read this I can't even contain myself. Does it bother anyone else when books in a series have not matching covers?? It's bothering me how this book cover isn't the matching one to Anna and the French Kiss. Unfortunately this is the only one that Barnes and Noble had, so I got it anyways. I'm crazy.

Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson. If you've read my latest  Exploring Random Bookstores post, then you've already seen this book when I purchased it. 

Three Weeks with my Brother by Nicholas Sparks. This is the only Nicholas Sparks book that I have not read or owned. This one is a memoir of the time he spent 3 weeks with his brother. I have only read a handful of memoirs before and they aren't my favorite but hey it's Nicholas Sparks and I need to read everything that he has written to be satisfied. I've been meaning to pick up this book for a few years now. 

Dead until Dark by Charlaine Harris. This is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood series. I recently got recommend this book from someone and she said it's a book that I won't be able to put down once I read it. I always love books like that so we will see!

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

Exploring Random Book Stores: St. Ignace, Michigan

Hello Everyone! I am doing my second Exploring Random Book stores post! I did a post similar to this a few months ago which was from a bookstore than I went to in Ann Arbor, Michigan which you can read here. After I did the first post I decided than whenever I find a random book store that I've never been in before, that I would take some pictures and blog about the book store. For Labor Day weekend, my husband and I went up to St. Ignace, Michigan, which is in the Upper Peninsula. It's the first city than you come to after you cross the Mackinaw Bridge and it sits right on Lake Huron. It was a really beautiful little city and it had a lot of random shops in the downtown area, one of which was the book store that I went into. 

The bookstore that I went into was called Book World, and they actually had a good selection of books. It was a decent sized book store and it was really nice inside. 

This bookstore had a good selection of Young Adult books and that's basically what I mostly look for when I go into bookstores. Most smaller and random book store than I've been in don't have a good selection of YA books, so I got really excited when this one did. Also, going into these random bookstore, my goal is to buy at least one book from them as a sort of souvenir.

The book I picked up was Second Chance Summer by by Morgan Matson. I was just looking at this book a few days ago on Goodreads and made a mental note to read/buy this book soon. I was really excited when I saw this on the shelf of Book World. 

Here is the little bookmark/bookstore detail thingy that they put inside your bag when you make your purchase. I kept the one from the bookstore I went into in my last Exploring Random Bookstore post, so I will keep this one inside my book I bought as well!

Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
