Favorite Book This Fall

Hey guys! So I'm going to be telling you about my favorite books this fall, in different categories. I hope this helps those of you that can never find a good book to read.

Favorite Book Already Released This Fall
The Body Electric
by Beth Revis

This book was sensational! It had all the thought and detail of a trilogy put into just about 500 pages of awesomeness. The writing was incredibly well-done and they had stuff sprinkled in like "P-H-Y-D-U-5." For those of you that haven't read Across the Universe, you must be living under a rock. Get your butt over there right now and read it! :) Good naturedly, of course.

Favorite Book That Will Be Released This Fall
For Real
by Alison Cherry

This book is one that no one I know has even heard of. I learned about it months ago, and it appears to have a good story. I haven't read anything by this author, but I'm still excited for this book.

Favorite Book That Has Been Out A Long Time But I Only Started Reading This Fall
Howl's Moving Castle

Didn't even know it was a movie until I finished this. Amazing story! But I bet you've already read this.

Hope this makes your Fall more awesome!

THE BODY ELECTRIC IS COMING OUT TOMORROW!!!!

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!

I've been waiting so long for this book and have been watching the date get closer and closer each day and I'm so excited and I can't wait anymore and yay! (No time for grammar)


I need gifs to express my feelings right now:























YAY SO EXCITED I CAN'T EVEN THINK!

I adore Beth Revis and her Across the Universe trilogy, the series that really got me hooked into YA. She is absolutely amazing and I loved the characters in her last series.
This book better be amazing!!!!

Library Load

Hey guys! This week I got a few books from the library. I have:

Howl's Moving Castle
by Diana Wynne Jones
I know, I know. I should have read this book by now. It's a well-known classic and is supposed to be amazing. I'm so excited to finally pick this up! I tried to not read anything about it so I would be surprised, and I have succeeded so far. I really don't know what this book is about, except for that it has magic and a moving castle that belongs to someone named Howl. That's a cool name. Yay for new books!

Wuthering Heights
by Emily Bronte

Another book I really should have read by now. I usually try to get the same cover picture as the one on the book I am using to show you guys, but I couldn't find it. This is the closest I could get. Oh well. I know this is a love story with kind of magic thing going on. I am super excited to get this one going!

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey
by Trenton Lee Stewart
I just finished the first book late last night, so now I am going to read the next one. I wonder what will happen next, I mean the end of the last book was pretty conclusive. The author could have made that more open-ended, but it's all good. This is a children's book, which I do read less of, but it is still supposed to be pretty good.

Random Update:
Recently I had a song stuck in my head that my friends recently introduced me to, and it's called Carmelldansen. If you haven't heard this song before, you definitely should. It's in Swedish, but there also is a pretty good English version. I can't stop listening to this song!

Have a great day!

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!
