We Have a Book Obsession. So Sue Us.

Hello friends!

Today we’re talking about some of the books we’ve hauled lately that we’re excited about reading! All of these are books we’re dying to read, and can’t wait to review for everyone :) 

Hayley: A lot of these have been ones I’ve seen on Goodreads and have been on my TBR for a while, but I bought them recently, and I have a couple of recommendations as well that I picked up! 

• Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon: Okay, I know I’m going to get the look from at least one person, BUT- I think I might have originally seen this book on Goodreads or something, but I didn’t think much of it until I saw the trailer for the movie. For a long time, I’ve always strived to read the book before going to see the movie. I’ve done that with a lot of book-to-movie adaptations, and this one will definitely be one I read first. The trailer seems pretty good, so I’m really hoping this book is a good one! It sure looks good.

• Girl In Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow: This is one that I picked up while browsing this afternoon. I think with this one, the title is what drew me in. Who is the girl? Why is she in pieces? What happened? Only one way to find out. The description seems promising, this is one I’ll be reading and reviewing hopefully sometime this year. (Guys, my TBR pile is huge so that would be a big thing for me!)

• Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven: This is actually a book that was recommended to me by one of the girls in the podcast group on Goodreads- thank you, Moana! I think this is one I might have seen floating around Goodreads as well, but I never really looked into it. It looks like a good one, and I’m excited to read this book for sure.

• We Are Okay by Nina LaCour: I’ve been eyeing this book for a while, between Half Price Books and Barnes and Noble. In the end, I decided I couldn’t leave this on the shelves at BN. This seems to be in my comfort zone reading wise, being a realistic fiction YA novel. I’m already curious about what happens to the main character and what makes her split town, and knowing I have a few books to get through before I get to this one is already torturing me. 

As for right now, I’m currently reading The Lying Game by Sara Shepard, which yes… (sigh) I found because I watched the short-lived ABC Family TV series. I have found that in reading the books that right off the bat, there are some significant differences between the show and the books, the most significant one being that Sutton didn’t reach out to Emma to switch places, Sutton is dead. So yeah, there’s that. I am really loving the book so far though, and I’m definitely going to be reading the whole series. Already dying to know what happens! 

Ariel:

Whats up guys?! So it’s been so long since I’ve written anything I have been super busy with wedding stuff. Let me tell you planning a wedding is really fucking hard and I don’t recommend it haha. So I have picked up a lot books recently. I have a problem so sue me. 

First I made a goal for todd to read and own every single Stephen King book. I have especially been looking for Carrie, Misery, and the Shinning. I recently was able to Pick up all three which I was so excited about because I got them all at Half Price and they NEVER have copies at our store! Those are the three books I have been the most excited to read as well so I am super happy I was able to find them. I can’t wait to read them all.

Next, I have been slowly purchasing the Wicked lovely series on paperback. I read these all on my Kindle but for some reason I had the first book as a physical copy. I really loved the series so I figured I might as well buy the full series as physical copies. I currently have Wicked lovely, Ink Exchange, and Fragile Eternity. I can’t wait to have the full series! I love having paper copies of series that I really really loved. 

I also have been purchasing the Deadly little Secret series by Laurie Faria Stolarz. She is the author of Blue is for nightmares, which is my favorite series. I saw this at half price and bought it immediately. I didn't even read the description, I knew I needed all of her books. I just finished the first book of the series and I read it in 4 hours. THIS SERIES IS GOING TO BE AMAZING. I cannot wait to share the whole series with you. 

The You I’ve Never Known by Ellen Hopkins. I saw this book at Walmart and read the inside cover and was blown away. First of all I had to purchase because the main character's name is Ariel. Of course I have to read it!! Second of all Ellen Hopkins is an absolutely fantastic writer. Her writing style is in poetry form and it is seriously so cool! My ex step-sister turned me onto Ellen Hopkins which I’m very thankful for. I read Crank in like 3 hours, her stories are amazing and are really easy to read!! I wish I could put three heart eye emojis after that because I totally would.

I recently started The You I’ve Never Known and let me tell you it is crazy. I cant wait to finish it and share it with you guys. I have seriously devoured it. It is so different and unique I am blown away! We are going to start reading Three Dark Crowns next which we have been dying to read for some time so as soon as we finish our books now we are going to dive into that which I’m HELLA excited for! 

Do you guys have any books you recommend, or any books you’ve picked up lately that you can’t wait to read? Have you read any of the books on this list? Let us know! 

Until next time, happy reading everyone!

This Weeks Book Haul

Hello book lovers!

Today we’re going to share our book haul from this weekend. We went to Half Price Books with Ariel’s sister, and we couldn’t wait to share with everyone the books we bought!

Hayley

I will say, I think I went a little crazy this week! My best friend, Kammie, gave me like 5 or 6 old books of hers that she thought I would like, and then I went and bought 5 books at Half Price Books, and turned around and ordered another one online! Here are a couple photos I snapped of the books I’ve hauled!

(Small disclaimer- I bought the three books by Miranda Kenneally sometime last week, and was also excited to share those ones with you all also!)

• Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini: This is the first of a series, and to be totally honest, the first thing that grabbed my attention was the cover. It. Is. Beautiful. It may be a little difficult to see in the photos, but the cover is slick and shiny, and somewhat holographic. I’m glad I decided to read the inside cover, because oh my lord, it looks pretty good!

• Goddess by Josephine Angelini: This is the third in the Starcrossed series, and the cover grabbed my attention on this one as well. Being totally real here, I found this one before Starcrossed! BEAUTIFUL. COVER. Seriously, if you see them, take a good look.

• Neferet’s Curse by P.C. and Kristin Cast: This is one of the House of Night series novellas, talking about Neferet’s past. For those who don’t know, Neferet is this crazy, evil, super villain from the House of Night series, a former High Priestess, who had an insanely messed up past. I’m curious to see what made her so insane. I have a general idea, but in the series, her past is not mentioned much.

• Me Before You by Jojo Moyes: I know I’m going to earn some eye rolls with this one.. Here goes. I saw that this book was made into a movie, and I was curious to see what all of the hype is about. I read the description on Goodreads, and decided that I thought this book sounded really awesome, and I don’t want to see the movie until I’ve read the book (old habit I’ve had since like, birth). I’ve heard mixed reviews on this one, so I’m curious to see what happens.

• The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp: Another book-to-movie adaptation I’m curious about. I know this movie was released a few years ago, and have always wanted to see it, but have never actually sat down and watched it. Now that I know it’s a book, of course I’m going to read it before watching the movie! This book is not pictured because I ordered it online (from the Half Price website, of course) right after coming home with another stack of books. Oops..

• Defending Taylor by Miranda Kenneally: I love Miranda’s writing, and absolutely devoured Catching Jordan and Stealing Parker. I’m STOKED to read Defending Taylor, her newest addition to the Hundred Oaks High series.

• Breathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Kenneally: See above. I love her books, I can’t stop. This one looks amazing as well.

• Jesse’s Girl by Miranda Kenneally: Okay, a little honesty here. When I first read the description for Jesse’s Girl, I really was not excited about it, and it didn’t seem like I would be too incredibly interested in the book. Which is weird, because I’m a huge music freak.. Anyways, I decided a week or so ago that I would give it a chance and see how it is, because I want to read all of Miranda’s work. Her two books I’ve read so far were awesome, so I figured, why not give this one a chance?

The Unbound by Victoria Schwab is pictured, however, I bought this one a couple months back, it is just shelved with my other, newer additions. I’m still very excited to get my hands on it and crack the cover!

Ariel

Hello all! So I am addicted to buying books, but who didn't know that?! I went way overboard this trip and bought waaaaaayyyy more than I really needed. But I mean I could be addicted to meth so I think I’m doing alright! Also one part of this haul is the fact that I’m currently re-buying books that I may have lost or completing my series.

• The Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: So I actually previously owned this book and I have read it several times, but dumb younger me lent it out to someone and I never got it back. For some odd reason I am also missing the last two books of the series as well so I have to get my hands on those two as well!

• Unearthly by Cynthia Hand: So in all honesty I bought this book because of how pretty it is. I also bought the book because hayley recommended it so I figured why not? It's a beautiful cover and I have heard many great things about it.

• The Girl On the Train by Paula Hawkins: This is the book I am most excited about! Todd and I went and saw the movie Lights Out the other day and this was a movie trailer. This book is being made into a movie and the trailer looked freaking amazing. When I was watching the trailer and saw that it was based on the book I knew immediately that I needed to read this book. After we are done with the house of night I am going to read this for sure!!!

• Redeemed by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast: I am currently reading this and it is the last book of the House of Night series. So far it is amazing. I am super excited to have this come to a close but I am also so sad that it is ending. We have reviewed all previous books on our podcast if you are interested in the books!

• The Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling: So I actually bought the first three books I just didn’t want to fit all three in the photo! This is the first time I have ever purchased the books. I bought them after reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. After reading the play I decided that I am (for the first time ever) going to read the harry potter series. Todd has started the series with me and after three days he is already on the second one! I am so proud of him and I am very excited that I get to share the series with him.

• Grey by E.L. James: This is the Fifty shades of Grey as told by Christian. I am BEYOND excited about this book. I know I know How lame am I?!? Alright so I read this series when it was beginning to get big and I loved it. I know everyone is thinking come on Ariel it’s a terrible series, but I really don’t think so! So when I saw this I snatched it right off the shelf and came home with me. 

I also bought my baby sister two Pretty Little Liars books. She isn't a super huge reader like I am so any chance I can get to get her to read i'm going to take it. She really likes the books and I have recently started thinking about purchasing them and reading them! What do you think should I read them with my sister? Is it worth the hype?!?!?!
