Book Haul
The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler- I’ve read mixed reviews for this one but I love the sound of it.
Won:
The Diamond Thief by Sharon Gosling- I won this in a retweet to win thing from Curious Fox and it came with a cool bookmark with all their titles on and their 2013 catalogue. I really love the cover!
Library Haul:
Jasmine Skies by Sita Brahmachari- I read Artichoke Hearts back in September 2011 and her third novel, Kite Spirit, came out last month so I thought I’d better catch up and read this one.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner- This book is currently being adapted into a film and so I’m going to try and whizz through the books before it is released.
Slated by Teri Terry- The title of the third book in the trilogy was released the other day so I was inspired to pick this up because of it. It’s one of my friend’s favourite books so I’m looking forward to delving into the world.
My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher- Ruby from Feed Me Books Now recommended Ketchup Clouds to me but I couldn’t find it at my library so I picked this one up instead.
Fever by Lauren DeStefano- This is the second book in the Chemical Garden trilogy and I completely fell in love with Wither so I can’t wait to start this.
Bought:
Dusk by Eve Edwards- I’ve been waiting over a year for this book. I’m so excited to read it and managed to wheedle my mum into buying it for me, after convincing her how good a daughter I am. I’m planning on getting stuck in very soon!
Freebies:
I attended an event yesterday and there were a lot of publishing freebies on offer so I took the opportunity and seized quite a lot!
Parallel by Lauren Miller- I already have a copy of this one so will be giving it away sometime soon, either on the blog or to someone I know. It looks really good!
Dead To You by Lisa McMann (x2)- I picked up two of these: one for myself and one for someone else. As above, I’ll either give it away on the blog or to someone I know.
Wild Boy by Rob Lloyd Jones- This is an ARC copy (the book is already released) and there was a whole pile of them so I decided to take one and I’m really glad that I did.
I also got these really cool bookmarks which I’ll be using to create a display board for my school’s English departement. And I’ll obviously be keeping some for myself!
Also, these awesome postcards! I’m going to be sticking a few to my wall because they’re really pretty.
Gifted:
And finally I got this cute little bookmark from my friend for looking after her guinea pig while she was on holiday (the guinea pig has since come to live with us and is happily munching away at our lawn!). My dog has fallen in love with it a little bit and keeps trying to eat it; I think it’s the sweet westie that’s attracted her!
Thanks, Abbie!

I think this will be my last vlog for a while. After struggling to film this one, I’m going to take a break and picture my books for the next few weeks.

Library Haul:
Parallel by Lauren Miller (ARC)- This popped through my letterbox on Friday, much to my surprise, and I’m really looking forward to reading it. Thank you, Scholastic!
Sort of bought:
The Great Gatsby by F. Schoot Fitzgerald- Technically, I didn’t buy this: my mum did. I’ve decided to ‘steal’ it off of her though because it looks really good and I’m going to try and read more classics.
