Library Haul || For Old Time's Sake

It's been a looong time since I did a library haul. Last night I was just thinking about my baby days as a blogger and how I would do hauls every time I visited the library and I wanted to do that again!

Because, ya know. Library books man. They're free and everything.



It's really really hot right now but IT DOESN'T MATTER I pushed past the discomfort and went to my little local library. At first I was planning on just randomly picking out books that caught my attention that I'd never heard of before.... buuut that didn't happen.



Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman.
I've seen this one a lot around the blogosphere PLUS one of my best blogger friends recommended it to me. It sounds super interesting, dealing with mental issues and all. I think it'll be really amazing to experience that through the mind of someone else. Plus, book cover love. How much more gorgeous can you get?

A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis.
I've actually already started this one... it's really interesting so far. Not only does it give you a peak into asylums of old (a mostly not pretty one), it also kind of dives into the question--what makes one person sane and another insane? Is there really a difference? I love the character voice so far.

Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) by Victoria Aveyard.
I LOVED Red Queen so much and I'm super excited to read this and see what happens! I don't want to say too much in case I accidentally spoil someone for Red Queen, but I liked Mare's character and I hope she continues to grow as a person... independently. *cryptic smile*




I'll probably definitely be reviewing Challenger Deep and A Madness So Discreet because they're stand-alones, but I'm not sure if I'll talk about Glass Sword.

Would you like to hear my thoughts on Glass Sword? :) What books have YOU picked up in your most recent haul?

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi...

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Image
Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th...

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa...
