Thrift Books Haul!

Hello Lovelies!

I am so excited about my new find! I will tell you up front that I am NOT being paid for this post. I came upon this site by happen stance. Thriftbooks.com is basically a used bookstore online and I absolutely LOVE it! I have gotten 4 books from them already. Three of them came in today.

The prices are low and the standard shipping is free. Yes I said FREE. It is standard shipping so it can take up to 2 weeks but I'll take it for free. The conditions of the books are all but new. There is a little wear on the corners around the bottom of the spine but no tearing which is amazing for used books.


I have a used bookstore that I love to go to but it's almost an hour away from my house and I don't get to go often so I'm beginning to crave getting on thriftbooks.com.

The three books I got in this order are:

Uglies by Scott Westerfield

The Hollow by Jessica Verday and

The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

I hope you all go and check out this site because you will fall in love! I love the service and the quality. 

More posts will follow! So excited to get back on track!

Thanks for reading!

Amazon Book Haul! 4.20.13

Hello Lovelies!

So I went a little crazy on Amazon today looking for new books and found 5 new ones I can't wait to read.

I have a Kindle Touch and I love it! I have played around with a Kindle Fire but I like my Kindle Touch better to read with because you can still read it in the sun and the battery lasts for days of continual use.

On with the haul!

All these books are free (the Kindle edition) as of today (because I am broke!).

 

 

The only book I did not immediately want to get upon reading the tag was My Boyfriend Merlin. I had to read the first chapter before I was hooked. It didn't take long which is usually the sign of a good read.  

All of these books sound completely amazing and I have no idea which one I'm going to read first. I'm just glad I found some that I am really excited about reading even with my non budget.

I just want to put it out there that I was not gifted any of the items I talked about in this blog and I am not affiliated with Amazon.com in any way.

I hope you will take a look at these books and maybe read a few. Leave me a comment! I try to respond to every one.

Thanks for reading!

Book Review Challenge?

Hello Lovelies!

I have decided to give a book challenge a try and you are all welcome to join me! I found this on Pinterest and I love this idea!

This was done by epicreads.com and I absolutely love it! Basically there is one book that is set in each of the 50 states of the the United States of America. I am challenging myself to read and review each of these books for you all. I am not giving myself a time limit like I would normally do because I am a poor college student and do not have the funds to buy almost 50 books. 

I have already read a few of these books and the reviews for these will be coming up very soon so I can start on more books. 

If you want to do this challenge with me, feel free! At the end of each review I do for this challenge I will tell you all what book I am going to read/review next so everyone can keep track of where I am. I may start going in some sort of order once I finish reviewing the books I have already read but I'm not sure yet.

Leave me a comment letting me know if you like this idea and if you will do it with me. :] 

Thanks for reading!

Book Haul 4.18.13

Hello Lovelies!

So I spent the last of my birthday gift card money today after class and I thought I'd show you all what I got. But first I have to rant, they rearranged everything in my Books-A-Million and I got completely turned around. Thankfully an employee noticed the confused look on my face and pointed me in the right direction. I hate the place they moved it to, it's right by the coffee shop and it's too loud and the coffee smell gives me a headache after a while. But on the bright side, the set up within the section is SO much better than before.

So now the rant is over and on with the books!

The Elite by Kiera Cass

This is the sequel to The Selection and I am completely ecstatic! I have been waiting for this book for at least 6 months and I had no idea it had come out. When I saw it in the store today, I almost squealed. It will most likely be the next book I read when I finish Beautiful Creatures and the only reason I'm not starting right now is because I promised you all I would review Beautiful Creatures.

Before I review The Elite, I will back up and review The Selection for you all.

Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

This is the sequel to Beautiful Creatures and I am looking forward to it. I haven't finished the original yet but I knew that if I didn't get it I'd be mad once I did finish. I will definitely be doing a review on this one.

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

I'll be honest. I judged a book by its' cover. I was drawn to this book because of the sequels' cover. It's beautiful and it made me want to read it so I got the first one. :) It sounds interesting though and I'm looking forward to reading it.











For those of you wondering, I did get one other thing but it wasn't a cutesy item. I do not believe in spending good money in a book store on something other than books. It's ridiculous. I got a journal with London on the cover. I carry journals just about everywhere with me so I get a new one every chance I get.

I will be posting reviews before I review Beautiful Creatures because I have a stockpile of books waiting to be reviewed so bare with me and as soon as I am finished with Beautiful Creatures I will review it. It is finals time though so please be kind.

Let me know in a comment how you like these book haul posts and if there is any other type of posts you want me to give a try.

Thanks for reading!
