Mini Book Haul

Book Haul

So I bought some books...again! I have to retract my previous statement of not being one to buy many books/buying new books before I have finished my TBR pile. I still have a few unread books from my last book haul, yet here I am buying more! But I had a voucher that needed spending and there was free shipping....so I had to, right?

Anyway, here are the books:

The first one was actually a birthday gift and it is “Love Poems” by Pablo Neruda. I always enjoy his writing, but this is the first book I actually own of his.



The second book is “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” by Benjamin Alire Saenz. I actually don't really know anything about this book, but I have seen it raved about on Youtube, so I thought I would give it a try. I just hope it doesn't disappoint me, like a few other Youtube favourites have done lately.



The next book is “Rose Under Fire” by Elizabeth Wein. It is a companion novel to “Code Name Verity” which I read recently and absolutely loved! (Youtube recommendation gone right!). I am hoping this one holds up to the very high standards set by the first book!



Next I bought “Dreams of Gods and Monsters” by Laini Taylor. This is the last book in the “Daughter of Smoke and Bone” trilogy, and I am looking forward to reading it very much. The first book of the series was a little disappointing for me, I have to be honest, and so was the first part of the second book. But the more I read of the second book the more hooked I got, and now I am really looking forward to finishing this series.



The last book I got is a graphic novel. This is very new to me. I don't usually read graphic novels, but I thought I would step out of my comfort zone and get one. I have seen a few recommended on Youtube, and I got “Saga. Volume One” by Brian K. Vaughan (writer) and Fiona Staples (artist). I'm quite excited to read my first graphic novel. Hopefully I will like it!




That was all the books I got this time around. I already have a list for next time they have a sale/free shipping promotion...
