I haven't bought many books at all in the past three months. I have bills coming out my ears right now, so extra cash for books is scarce.
This Savage Song & Our Dark Duet by VE Schwab - I've wanted to read this series for ages, so when the eBook of This Savage Song was really cheap, I bought it. Then I happened to find Our Dark Duet at one of the book stores I go to for a reasonable price.
The Waking Land by Callie Bates - I really liked the cover of this book when I first saw it, but when I read the synopsis, I knew I had to buy it!
Wreck by Fleur Ferris - Fleur is an insta-buy author for me, so of course I had to have it! I've read this already and it's now my favourite book by that author.
Now I Rise by Kiersten White - I already have the first book in this series, so I bought this to continue the series when I eventually get to reading it.
Falling Kingdoms, Rebel Spring and Gathering Darkness by Morgan Rhodes - I have wanted to continue this series for the longest time, but the prices have constantly been ridiculously high. The price dropped briefly, so I pounced on them (with Jen's help, because for some reason, they were even cheaper for her, despite the fact that we were both looking on Book Depository).
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo - I have never seen a Leigh Bardugo book in a store near me, so when I saw this in one of the shops I occasionally buy from, I grabbed it. I don't yet own any of the other books in the Grisha series, so it'll probably be a while before I get to this one.
The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James - This book appealed to me because it takes place in space, and I love me some space! I quite like Lauren's writing style, but so far the previous two books have been a hit or miss (loved The Next Together, wasn't too impressed by The Last Beginning), so I'm hoping this doesn't disappoint.
The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo - I had never heard of this book before I saw it on the shelf, but this book has a lot of Asian culture, particularly Malaysian and Chinese, which I'm greatly intrigued by, so I got this one to see what it's like. It has a supernatural twist, so I'm hoping it turns out to be a good book.
The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles - I had heard a few "This book is really good!"s, but hadn't paid it any mind. When I found the last copy in the store, I picked it up and read the synopsis, I decided to give it a chance. I've started reading it and so far so good!
Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas - This is one of my most anticipated books of the year, so this was definitely an insta-buy!
Collide by Melissa West - I've had the first two books in the Taking series, but could never a) find a matching copy of Collide or b) get it at a decent price. Well the price dropped to a reasonable price for a paperback, but it is a slightly smaller format that the previous two books. I can live with that, I just want to continue the series!
Fireblood by Elly Blake - I could have sworn Frostblood was just released this year? Maybe it was just late getting to the stores near me *shrug*. Either way, I've yet to start this series, but it sounds interesting, so I wanted to get Fireblood while the format matched the first book.
Thief's Cunning by Sarah Ahiers - I bought Assassin's Heart late last year, so I wanted to get this one to continue the series, and for a new release book, I could only see one copy in the store and didn't want to miss out!
Adultolescence by Gabbie Hanna - I've never watched The Gabbie Show on YouTube, but I recently saw a review for this and decided to see what it was like for myself. I've started this one and so far the poetry (I use that term loosely) has been hit or mediocre in the most part. I don't usually read poetry, so I'm not really in the position to judge, but I thought this would be a read-it-in-one-sitting kind of book, which I really need to catch up on my Goodreads Challenge. Some of the content so far has made me laugh and some of it is relatable, but quite a large portion has been an ode to "Geez, my life sucks!", which slows the pace of the book quite significantly. The drawings in the book are quite quirky, and knowing that the author drew them adds to the overall aesthetic of the book. A lot of effort has been put into it, which I can appreciate.
Doctor Who Dot-to-Dot - Because why the hell not? And it was $5!
