Book Haul #1

Today is the day i will finally be posting my book haul! I wanted to make sure i had enough books to share so this will be sort of like a collective book haul. This book haul consists of mostly ya but also some pre-teen novels for ages 10-13. So lets get started!! 


1. I am literally the only person in the entire universe that hasn't read this book :( I'm so far behind. My first book is Catching Fire from the amazing Suzanne Collins. I have The Hunger Games and thought it was absolutely fantastic. I am currently reading the 2nd installment in the series, and so far i think i might like it just as much as The Hunger Games. I believe you all know what this is about.

                                                       


2. The second book i got was a book i got the same day as Catching Fire. I've wanted the book for soo long because i think it has a great story line, and great potential. It's the 1st one in a series, and is one of my TBR's for September.  That book is Wither by Lauren Destefano and is the first installment in The Chemical Garden Triolgy. It follows a dystopian society where girls live only to the age 20, and boys to the age 25 due to modern sciences genetic ticking time bomb.. The main protagonist is Rhine Ellery who is 16 and has only 4 years left to live. She is kidnapped and sold as a bride, and all she wants to do is escape and go back to her brother.

3rd. The 3rd book in my book haul is also a book in which i feel everyone in the world has read this but me. It covers a topic in which i find fascinating and i can't wait to start this book. This book is Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. It is the 1st installment a series of 4 books. This follows the story of Nora Grey, and i have to admit the beginning is kinda of like twilight from what i've read, and her life when a new kid Patch comes to her school. Patch is secretive and mysterious, which draws Nore even more attracted to him. But once a series of unfortunate events strikes her, Nora doesnt know what to do, or who to trust. And that leaves Nora wondering just who Patch really is. To find out more go to.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6339664-hush-hush.

4th and 5th. O.k i know I've said this a lot but you have no idea how behind i am in the Ya genre. This next book i AM the ONLY person who hasn't read it and i mean it. Its a trilogy that has only the first 2 books out. This is the Divergent Triolgy and i have Divergent and Insurgent, even though i haven't read them yet.. :D My friend Nicole recommended them to me, and i went ahead and bought them , not knowing that literally everyone has read them. These are the books that helped me figure out how far behind i was. I searched it u on you tube and I saw a few you tube videos from book you-tubers like The Readables, The Artsy Gale12, Amira's Book Reviews, And PadfootAndProngs07 and they all literally pushed me to buy the books i did. I love there channels so much and i'll link them below. I will be getting to these VERY SOON.

Insurgent (Divergent, #2)
Divergent (Divergent, #1)


6th. The 6th book i got was a book i only bought because The Artsy Gal raved about this book soo much and when i saw it on sale at my book store i couldn't resist getting it. It has a very unique story line and is a fairy tale retelling with a modern twist. This book is Cinder by Marissa Meyer and is the 1st book in a series of 4 following a girl named Cinder who is half-human and half-cyborg in New-Beijing. Sounds cool huh?

                                                       Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1)

7th. This next book is an E-book that i bought on my e reader with my gift card i received from my sister . I already saw the movie and i thought it was absolutely phenomenal. Its a Triolgy with a very unique story line that i could've never thought of. This book is I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore. It follows the life of  "John Smith" who is one of the 9 children who escaped from their planet Lorien and came to earth for safety. They are bound together by a charm meaning that they can only be killed in order by the Mandogorians. 1,2,3 are already dead, and this is the story of number four. Sounds so cool if you ask me :) To find out more visit http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7747374-i-am-number-four I am currently reading this as well.
