Book Haul [38]

---

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, fellow book lovers! This is going to be more of a month long book haul than a weekly one.

November has been my no holds barred book splurge month, woohoo! My husband came home after a 5-month long business trip to Doha, and instead of asking for a "pasalubong" (souvenir), I asked for a book shopping spree instead. Priorities, right? LOL.

So here's what I got this past few weeks:

A MAD ZOMBIE PARTY by Gena Showalter
STUPID IS FOREVERMORE by Miriam Defensor Santiago
THE IRON WARRIOR by Julie Kagawa
QUEEN OF SHADOWS by Sarah J. Maas
SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I've Read So Far This Year

Top Ten Books I've Read So Far This Year

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list  that bloggers are welcome to join in and answer. 

This is going to be quite a short list. And you have no idea how much that bothers me. My OC-self is nagging me to finish it but I just couldn't see any other books to fit in. So instead, I'll give honorable mentions at the end. That'll ease her up (I think).

Here are the Top Ten...err, Top Six Books I've Read So Far This Year:

CRESS by Marissa Meyer

I truly have nothing but praises for this book. Possibly the best book sequel I’ve read this year! A bit presumptuous when I said that around February of this year, but we are in June now and I don’t think there’s any sequel I’ve read that tops Cress. This book was a blast to read!

STOLEN SONGBIRD by Danielle L. Jensen

Normally I don’t buy the whole love-hate relationship, but this works. Such a gorgeously done romance. I just adore Cecile and Tristan!

SWEET RECKONING by Wendy Higgins

Ah… such a sweet, sweet conclusion (or so I thought) for our protagonists. Just when you think you can’t love Kaidan Rowe any more, there he goes, making him way yummier than he already was.
