Book Load

Hey guys! This week I bought tons of books using a small pile of half-used gift-cards. (I am one of those people that LOVE gift-cards. Mainly because unless the card is for a clothing store, I can buy books with it.)
So using a combination of Target, Barnes&Noble, local bookstore, and Amazon gift-cards I bought:

Cinder
by Marissa Meyer

I've actually already read this book, and all the other books in the series that are currently out. I don't own any of them in paperback, though, and this was a great chance, especially because there is a short novella in the back by the author. YAY! I can't wait for Winter!!!!!!!!!! 

I Am Number Four, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine

By Pittacus Lore

I haven't read any of the books in the Lorien Legacies series. I know it's tragic. I hear such good things, as well as not-so-good things about the series that I just HAD to try it and find out for myself. Plus the covers are so pretty and they have this cool thing on the sides of the pages so I had to buy it in paperback. I love physical books so much because they are such a treat. I spend such long periods of time agonizing over their beautiful covers.

Shiver, Linger, Forever

by Maggie Stiefvater

I still have to read Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver trilogy. It's supposed to have awesome romance and overall just supposed to be really, really good. I got a great deal for all three of them, too. Then I'm going to have to read Sinner. I really love Maggie Stiefvater. I haven't yet read all of her books, but those that I have read never disappoint. 

The Scorpio Races

by Maggie Stiefvater

I have read this book before, but it was borrowed from a library. I absolutely LOVED The Scorpio Races. The romance was cute, and there were man-eating water horses. Also it was written by Maggie Stiefvater. I mean, how could I not love it? Some people disliked this book, but I absolutely adored it. Readers said that it was boring and that they focused too much on the horses. I loved the idea of the water-horses, and never found the book boring. I read the whole thing in one sitting, which is something I really like to do. I couldn't put it down, and afterwards I just couldn't stop talking about it.

Panic
by Lauren Oliver

I love Lauren Oliver almost as much as I love Maggie Stiefvater. I've heard so much about this book, and I have been so excited to get my hands on it. And guess what? I got a hardcover copy! I love getting books in hardcover and being able to keep the beautiful dust-jacket when I lend the book to someone. Because I know if I give them the dust-jacket it will get torn and ruined.

Don't Look Back
by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Look at this cover! Look how beautiful it is! I love it so much! I know nothing about the author and hardly anything about the story besides the fact that it is good. But that cover! It's so magical and hypnotizing. I could stare at it all day. Wow. I got this as a beautiful hardcover, and no one is touching that dust-jacket.

Hourglass
by Myra McEntire

Another awesome cover! I got this book knowing absolutely nothing about it or the author. I've heard good things about the book and the rest of the series, but I have no idea what it's about. It's supposed to be fantasy, but I really have no clue about the actual story-line. I have tried to steer clear of anything about this book so that I can read it without knowing anything.


I hope you enjoyed this post. Please comment if you have any book recommendations for me. Thanks for reading!
