July Book Haul 2014

Well, it is the first of August, so I guess I should probably post my July book haul. Haha! I was kind of bad in the month of July...but these are either books that I needed for a series or books in a series I wanted to read, so I don't feel too bad.

The Spiderwick Chronicles Bk 2-The Seeing Stone by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi: I had finished the first book a week or so before I got this. I really loved the first book, and I wanted to get the second one as soon as I could....I found this at Half Price Books. I wanted to get the whole series, but the third book was missing...so instead of getting them all minus the third, I just bought the second one....sooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad at myself!!!! >_____<

Deltora Quest - The Forests of Silence by Emily Rodda: I had heard about this series for a year now thanks to April Brooks's channel on Youtube and I have been looking for it ever sense. I couldn't find them ANYWHERE!!! I really wanted the awesome hardcover bind up, but it was too expensive online. Then, at Goodwill, I found the entire series and the both of the spin off series! I was so stoked! >w< (8 Books, the rest are not pictured)

Dragon on a Pedestal by Piers Anthony: After having read the first book in the Xanth Series, I have been slowly collecting the rest of the 40+ book series whenever I find them. I have only ever been able to find them online or at Half Price Books. BUT this time, I found this gem at Goodwill! It is a bit musty (I didn't know this until I got it home and inspected it further), so I am going to try and air it out...if that doesn't work, well, I'm not going to be happy.

 Isle of View by Piers Anthony: This is another book in the Xanth Series that I found at Goodwill! This one is not musty (thank goodness) and I just love the title. XD If you didn't know, this series is a fantasy series that is jam packed full of puns. XD

Castle Roogna by Piers Anthony: This is the third book in the series which I picked up at Half Price books for $1.25. ^^v

 Ready Player One by Ernest Cline: I have officially joined my first book club!! I have joined Little Book Club put on by the Little Book Owl's Cat! This is the August pick, so I had to get it! Plus I have been wanting to read this book for quite some time, so what better reason to buy it than book club. ^^v I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for this book!! 

The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss: No, I haven't read the first book yet, but when I saw this pristine, hardcover copy of the second book in the Kingkiller Chronicles, I had to get it. I have heard so many amazing things about this series from both Catriona and Raeleen's channel , so there is no doubt in my mind that I will love this series.

Persuasion by Jane Austin: I LOVE Jane Austin books, and I think I now own all of her books....if not most? I actually really like the Barnes and Noble Classics books. They seem so, classy. XD

Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor: Again, no, I have not read the first book in the series...but you can see why I bought this (shifty eyes at the price tag). The sticker won't come off though....-____- Damn stickers....

The Diviners by Libba Bray: 

Dear Libba Bray, I keep buying your books even though I know they are probably going to break my heart...Even your most innocent books make me cry. I hate you. I'm kidding...Keep on writing! I do hate you though. -Moriah

I love Libba Bray...I just had to rant a little bit. XP I read the Gemma Doyle trilogy and cried. Read Going Bovine, cried. I swear...if I cry....>___< I hope it's creepy though. Her creepy stuff is good!~



Well, that's all for my haul!~ I have already read a decent chunk of these books and loved them!! I will talk a bit more about them in my wrap up!! Which is coming up next!!!~ Until then!~ <3 XXXX

December Haul #1

I'm sure there will be another haul later this month (this one is pretty small), but I really just wanted to get this one up right away so I can put them away. I have a hard time putting books away before I share them because I'm too lazy to find them and pull them off the shelf later. Haha!

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.  This book is MASSIVE!!! OoO!! I had been wanting it since I heard Little Book Owl on Youtube rave about this series. I am very super picky about my fantasy books, but because it's winter, I've really been craving a good, thick, dark, fantasy book. I had some money from selling back my textbooks, so I went straight to the campus bookstore and grabbed this! Though I did have a hard decision between this one and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell...I will try and get it at a later date. ^-^

Number The Stars by Lois Lowry.  I am currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and I've been on a very big Holocaust book kick. I was looking for The Giver by Lois Lowry and I had a feeling that it was going to be there...Well it wasn't, but this one was! Good enough for me! I loved this book when I was younger. It was required reading in....7th grade? and I just devoured it. When I found it in the Children's books, I was VERY excited. After I finish Book Thief, I think I'll read this one right away. Plus it will help me get closer to my book goal on Goodreads. There is only 132 pages, and very big font....I remembered it to be much bigger when I was younger...Funny how that is.

So, now that I'm no longer in school until next fall, I should be on here more often with things other than hauls. Sorry if that's not your thing....I PROMISE I'm working on other things for this blog!!!! Until next time my sweet daffodils!~
