Monthly Wrap-up 7-30-2015 (Book Haul-ish)

My first Wrap-Up! how exciting! Well let's just jump into this, so first off, I want to tell all you wonderful book nerds what books I've purchased this month, so this is kind-of a book haul too. Anyways! let's get started.

Purchased in July (In alphabetical order by book title)-

~A Court Of Thorns And Roses By Sarah J. Maas
I've been wanting to read this for so long now! I heard it was a beauty and the beast re-telling but I could be totally wrong, and I love the cover so beautiful and just, engaging! and I have read 'throne of glass' by Sarah J. maas and LOVED it. So to be able to start a different novel by such an amazing person is awesome. (Purchased at Half Price Books)

~Alive By Scott Sigler
When I first saw this book, I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what it was about, or even who the author was. But then, I listened to a little bit of the audio book, and I Loved it! I've only listened to about the first 10 chapters? and I would definitely recommend this novel to people. And Scott Sigler is such an amazing writer/person! so nice. (Purchased on Amazon)

~Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
I have read this novel already, and I actually just bought a second copy. I already own a paperback version and I wanted the hardback, and the jacket is so pretty! Catching fire was my favorite 'The Hunger Games' novel. That is why I have TWO copies *wink wink* (Purchased at Half Price Books)

~Fairest By Marissa Meyer
I have only read Cinder and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer and I loved them! and I actually am dying to read this, but I vowed on my life/magic (If you read Splintered by A.G.Howard you'd understand) that I'd read Fairest after I read Cress. So, be watching for cress on my TBR ;P (Purchased on Amazon)  

~Lock And key By Sarah Dessen
I hear tons and tons of good things about the author Sarah Dessen . . . do you know her? good because this book here, I have no idea what it's about. I don't like to read the blurbs on the back or on the inside jacket, because, it sometimes gives away a lot and I liked to be surprised. So I can't wait to read my first ever Sarah Dessen Novel! (Purchased at Half Price Books)

~Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Honestly I would never even consider reading this, if Sasha Alsberg didn't talk about it so darn much! It's been on my TBR list for a while and I finally own it! (Purchased on Amazon)

~Red Queen By Victoria Aveyard
Seriously, I am still so happy that this beautiful book is now on my shelf. The cover is amazing! Oh my god, the cover. I just love it so much! I can not wait to read this beauty. I've heard so much about this book, and ever since I first heard about it I've been wanting to get my hands on it...not only because the cover, but because everyone says such amazing things about it. So extremely ecstatic to have this on my shelf. (Purchased at Half Price Books)

~The Crimes and Punishments of Miss Payne By Barry Jonsberg
Half price books, was having a dollar sale, and I grabbed this because the cover was . . . interesting. It is a small book, so hopefully I can finish it in one sitting. And hopefully! it is a good book! (Purchases at Half Price Books)

~WitchFall By Victoria Lamb
When I picked this up, I loved the cover. When I got home . . . I found out this was the second in the series, so I'll have to find the first one somewhere. Then I can read this beautiful covered book. So, gotta go looking for the first one! (Purchased at Half Price Books)


Novels I Finished This Month Include:

~TMI: City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

~Crank by Ellen Hopkins

~If I Stay by Gayle Forman

~The Moth In The Mirror by A. G. Howard

~Throne Of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

~Alive by Scott Sigler

just five more days. I'm working on it now, just so I can post it on time *wink wink*

enjoy your weekend for right now though! and make sure to read some goodies!

The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones

DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK! SPOILERS AHEAD!

You've been warned...

So this post is me just ranting . . . I don't know how to handle all the news I've just taken in. *hyperventilating* 

So I was all like Clary + Jace! now I'm sad...this book just went all star wars on me. I never watched star wars, but I know the character end up being brother and sister . . . and now TMI just star wars'ed me. I don't like it. It hurts. Like I've never had the feels this bad. 

EVER! 

What do I do? I-I can not process all this information.

Okay, I think I'm just going to go finish the book. I want to say that Valentine is just lying . . . but somewhere deep down inside me, I know he's not. And the weirdest thing right now, I feel like this is real.

Goodbye got to go read some more TMI, luv.
