The Last of Us has been the talk of the gaming world ever since the news came out of its upcoming release. In spite of the delay, players who have played and/or finished the game have then since raved about it.

Other than trying out the demo version, I haven’t played The Last of Us video game yet. I know. How dare I, right? In my defense, I am working in a company that involves game designing. Contrary to what other people think, being in the gaming industry (or in my case – game-ish), you don’t get to play video games all day. In fact, you even end up rarely playing or not playing at all. Unless you’re a reviewer, critic or tester, then that’s beside the point.

Since I mentioned about my job, research and inspiration comes with the territory. When I stumbled upon an advance copy of The Art of The Last of Us on Netgalley... This is the part where we say the rest is history, but I need to elaborate. I was thrilled to be granted access to view this before it got published. Oh, the joy of flipping through this book!

Book Haul [31]



My "Weekly Book Haul" is pretty much just like In My Mailbox by the Story Siren, This Week In Books by Pop Culture Junkie, and Stacking the Shelves by Tynga's Reviews and all the other titles with the similar concept here and there. This is a weekly post showcasing the books you received for the given week, either bought online or from a physical bookstore, borrowed from the library or from a friend, received for review or won from a giveaway, etc.

Hello lovelies! How have you all been? Did you get any interesting books to read this week?

I have a few ones to show you that I'm really excited about. Here they are:

(from Netgalley):

THE IRON TRAITOR by Julie Kagawa
ALL OUR YESTERDAYS by Cristin Terrill
COUNTDOWN by Michelle Rowen
THE ART OF THE LAST OF US by Rachel Edidin (Editor)
(from the Book Depository):

SENSHI by Cole Gibsen (read & reviewed)

REPLICA by Jenna Black
CROWN OF MIDNIGHT by Sarah J. Maas
REBOOT by Amy Tintera

(from Pinoy Book Tours):
THE OATHBREAKER'S SHADOW by Amy McCulloch (currently reading, for review)
I can't wait to start on Crown of Midnight, but since I have a some books for review scheduled for this month, I have to wait a little longer before I can start on that. Nevertheless, I'm so happy I got even before its release date! Weeee!!!

What do you think? Do you find any of these books interesting?
Also, let me know what you got and I'll be sure to check it out! Happy reading! :)
