August Book Haul ~Bonnie

My August book haul is larger than I thought it was! My birthday was this month and I was fairly bummed that no one really bought me books for it. But I may have twisted my niece's arm a little and convinced her to get me one. A book she recommended to me. So, here it goes -



Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

I didn't really think I was interested in these books. Horrible, I know. But I thought maybe since I had missed out on them when they first came out, that I would just let them go. Awhile back, Bookbub sent me an email and the first Percy Jackson was just $1.99. SO, why not right? I loved it and have been working on picking up the rest so that I can read them all. I'll let you in on a little secret, I have never seen the movies either.



The Dark Elements Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I picked up this entire series back at the beginning of the month for the Booktube-A-Thon. I need something that I wanted to read that I recently picked up. I had been wanting to read Jennifer L. Armentrout for a long time. I already own the Lux Series but I got that so long ago. I figured the Booktube-A-Thon was the perfect time to start.



Lament and Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater

I have enjoyed The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvator so much that I thought I would start picking up more by her. I have also been really into books about fae lately, so I thought these were a good way to go.



The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

I saw Peruse Project on YouTube book haul this and decided I just had to have it as well. I have always hear such great things about it. And I wanted it way back when but just had never picked it up. So, now I have it and I can't wait to start reading it.



The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

I already owned this book. I have the little red paperback of it. But I found this copy (unfortunately still paperback) at Half Price Books. I love this cover so much more! I just had to go ahead and pick it up.



The Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

This is a book I have been wanting to read for awhile now. I just haven't picked it up. So, being my birthday month I figured lets do it now!



Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas

I had to get this right away. I was reading Crown of Midnight, as you may already know from the review I posted, and I had to have this one asap! I am currently reading it and loving every moment of it. These books are so awesome. Queen of Shadows is currently on pre-order and I can't wait to get that one as well!



Starters by Lissa Price

This is the book my niece, Keely recommended to me. I figured if she recommended it to me, she could get it for me for my birthday, and she did! Looks pretty good.

The rest of these I ordered from Book Outlet. They had a great sale going on and I had a bunch more in my cart. But I limited myself to just these five.



All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry

From what I gather this book is about love, musical and mythical things. I am not really sure to be honest after reading the blurb, but it sounds spectacular.



Nothing but Ghosts bt Beth Kephart

I lost my mother earlier this year and honestly books have been a great way for me to cope with that. This books is about a teenage girl who loses her mother. She falls in love while learning to cope with her ghosts. I thought that this might be a good read someday. Maybe not now but soon. And being a cute little hardcover for all of three bucks, I'll take it. It sounds pretty good and I hope it turns out that way when I do read it.




Persistence of Memory by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

I like this cover so much. It seems this book is about a teen named Erin who is trying to survive high school. She has an alter ego named Shevaun, and she likes to destroy everything. I am not sure how this book is going to turn out. It almost seems like a story about a girl fighting a mental illness. But then in the blurb it talks about a protective friend of Erin's that is trying to convince her that Shevaun is really a vampire. There is also something about Shevaun having a dangerous ally, a handsome witch name Adjila. It was enough to intrigue me so I had to pick it up. I am however rather disappointed that it is such a small book. But I hope it is great no matter how small it is!



The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

I really don't know a whole lot about this one. I have been eye balling it for a long time now. And since Book Outlet had it for so cheap I thought I would pick it up. I have heard quite a few mixed things about it. But I don't believe everything I hear, so I thought I would try it out for myself.



Frostfire by Amanda Hocking

This is a book that Emily found a while back. I have been looking at buying it for awhile now. I believe book 3 of this series came out recently?! So, I better get to this one right?

Finally! That's all of them. I really didn't think I had bought so many, wow!

If you have read any of these let me know what you think in the comments!

Thanks for reading!
