The Best Mistake: Book Haul

One of the libraries had a book sale today and i come out with gold in books.
I got some books that i have been wanting and others i got the name or cover looked/sounded good. I also picked up the large amount of books at the library i had on hold that came it.

I got about 20 books from the sale plus about 20 little kids picture book for ten dollars, so thats 0.25 cents per book and most of the books i got where hard cover. Yes.

What i have read in the past month or so has been :


Dark Lover by J.R. Ward: It is an amazing book and has a great spin to vampires. It a love book with actions. I am reading the second book in this series now. really like it .

Take Me By Belle Andre: It was a good book and i love when the main people love each other but don't tell each other. I like books that are realist with sex and love.

Wicked Pleasure by Lora Leigh: This book is not for just anyone to read, has a lot of sex and some of it is male female male. just so you know what your getting into but it is a really great story about a love that lasted over a long period of time.

The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst: It's a funny book about two people that knew each other at a young age, then when they are old they need each other for something. They use each other and get more then they want but everything they need. It is any great book about loving someone without really knowing you do. first book in a group of three i think.

Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning: This book is something, it has sex and rock. It's a good book and has some parts that make me think again but after i read it, i really like it. If you like music, sex and a quick love story then this is the book for you. It is the first book in a group of five.



I  am done with my 2012 reading challenge with was read 130 book before the end of the year but as for today i have read 140....10 over. GO ME!

I found this website called wattpad that people write stories and post them on this site to read. I have read some really great stories on it. some are better then some books i have read. So you should check it out and maybe write something yourself.

Keep reading and more later

Happy October!
 I am almost done with my summer reading. I have two summer books to read. I know in my blog before this one i said one book but the other i have been waiting to read. The first is Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowite and the second is Second Chance Summer by Morgan Mastson. I can't wait to read second chance summer because i just re-read her first book Amy & Roger's Epic Detour and i love that book and her writing style.


On to what i plan on reading in October for my super scary/ mystery.

   

 -The Splendor Falls , by Rosemary Clement-Moore

 - Bliss , by Lauren Myracle

BANNED BOOK WEEK!!!!!

 

    I love me some banned books.

 

 

Last Summer Reads!

Summer is over and that means i will be moving into Fall/Winter reads. In the summer i like to read easy, fun and lighthearted books for the most part. Some books i read this summer that i loved are: Back When You Were Easier to Love by Emily Wing Smith, A Girl Named Digit by Annabel Monaghan and There You'll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones. That is only some of the summer reads i loved. I will be reading one more summer book before moving on to more Fall/Winter book. The kind of books i like to read in the Fall/Winter are more dark, heavy hearted,and scary.

Mixed Bag of Bookness.

Should have a review today but i cant put in words how i feel about this book today: Hemlock Grove by Brian McGreevy .  So look for a review here in the next few days.


                                                       eBook:

Let's talk about a free eBook i read a few months ago, it's free on amazon. It's Called The Rockstar's Daughter by Caitlyn Duffy. The book is about  a girl named Taylor who goes to boarding school  and spends the summer with her mother who isn't a very good mother. The summer before her junior year of school her mother dies and this starts the who story of how her dad comes into her life.
    I didn't think i would like this book but i read it in one sitting. It's got everything you want in a book, trouble, sex, romances and a step mother who could be her friend or worst. I think that is a smart well written book that teenagers could relate too. Read it if you want a quick easy read that is free. On a high note i don't read a lot of eBooks but i keep getting them to read but i don't. I like the feel of a read book in my hands.

                                                    Top Five:

My Top Five today is : Top Five Series i read this year. ( This is only books i have read this year, either the whole series or a book in the series.)

1.  Divergent Trilogy  by  Veronica Roth ( Divergent and Insurgent are out )
2. Hex Hall  Trilogy by Rachel Hawkins ( Hex Hall, Demonglass and Spell Bound)
3. The Infernal Devices Trilogy by Cassandra Clare ( Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess)
4. The Body Finder Tetralogy by Kimberly Derting (The Body Finder, Desires of the Dead, The Last Echo and Dead Silence)
5. The Iron Frey Tetralogy by Julie Kagawa ( The Iron King, The Iron Daughter, The Iron Queen and The Iron Knight)

You should check out all the great series i have in the top five this week.

                                                      Flash Back:

Flash Back is basically were i tell you about classics or older books that are good or something is happening with them like a movie or anniversary.

• The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald : Has a new movie coming out in the summer of 2013. It is staring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby. It also has Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher and Joel Edgerton. The Trailer is really good: Watch it Here.

                                         
                                                     Blog and BookTube:

I love to read and watch blogs about books. I found out that on youtube people make videos about books and other book relate things. I found that a lot of people read and love books just as much as i do. I think that everyone should check out this undiscovered part of youtube called booktube.

It's Review Day and i don't have a review because i am still reading the book that i want to review. Next week will have a review on Monday.

     So today's blog is going to be about the books i have gotten over the past few months. Like i said before i think, i don't really but new books but i do shop a used book stores and stores like that.

   First the books i brought or win in giveaways in the past few months.

I won to books from Goodreads. They are Bared to You by Sylvia Day which is a really good book for someone who is looking for something like Fifty Shades of Grey, But only in the love story. Then I won Night Sky by Jolene Perry, I haven't read it yet book it sound really good.I think it's about a boy who loved one girl and is falling in love with the other. If you want to know more about it check it out on Goodreads.

Now for the books that i brought. Most of them i got for 25cents a piece or 4 for a dollar.I have read some of them but not all of them. I am just going to list them for the most part. I only want to talk about one.

The Last book i got i want to talk about because it  changed my life it is an amazing book. I got The Last Lecture By Randy Pausch.
