Book Haul



Hi guys!

I hope you all are doing well. This is my first book haul post since coming back to the US. I was too lazy to do one last week.

So, school started two weeks ago. So far, it's going well. I'm really enjoying my classes this quarter. I hope I continue to feel the same throughout the quarter. I also moved in to my new studio apartment. It's a lot bigger than I expected and it's very cozy. I'm loving it but I think most of all I love that I don't have to deal with a roommate. I do feel a bit homesick though and from time to time I keep remembering my family back home, but there's Skype now, so I can call them whenever. :)

Anyways, the first thing I did as soon as I got back here was to buy books of course! I got some pretty awesome books and here's the list:

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

I really enjoyed reading The Sky is Everywhere and the early reviews for I'll Give You the Sun have been overwhelmingly positive. I love that it has a strong sibling relationship and LGBT themes. I'm excited to read it. :)

The Hook Up by Kristen Callihan

This is another one I bought because everyone has been raving about it. I read it a few weeks ago and it was pretty mediocre. It's a story I've read multiple times in NA, so I don't really understand the hype. 

Trial by Fire by Josephine Angelini 

Another book that comes highly recommended from close friends of mine. I just had to have it. 

Suspicion by Alexandra Monir 

This is one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I was so excited to get it off NetGalley! 

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for the e-ARC!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren . Touch (Denazen #1) by Jus Accorda Summary (from Goodreads) When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home. Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized. Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking dow...
