139 - august '16 book haul + 5 for 1 challenge



this month i didn't acquire a lot of books which i'm extremely happy about actually. i'll tell you all about it later on.

here we go!

The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon / Mäe hääl by Yasunari Kawabata

the fiery cross is the fifth installment in the outlander series but i'll get to the first one eventually, i swear. i just got this fifth one for a bargain! and the other book is by a japanese author and i hope it's got a lot of the things in that i love about japan, so yep -- hopes are high for this one.

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover / Happily Ever After by Kiera Cass

as soon as i received it ends with us, i dropped everything else i was reading basically. i just needed  this book in my life and i heard rave reviews (still do!) and it is amazing. i have undying love for colleen hoover. and happily ever after is the novellas from the selection series by kiera cass which i read last year. i also got the crown by kiera cass which is the fifth and final book in the series but my friend is currently reading it.

Charade by Nyrae Dawn / The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen

these two are a couple of the new adult reads i picked up. i was just on such a new adult kick (still am!) that i wanted to read some new series and these both are series' starters. excited for those!

Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan / Thoughtless by S. C. Stephens

i've heard some mixed  things about thoughtless but i oughta give it a try, so i got it. also i really like this cover so much better than the us one, yeah. also heard a lot of positive things about reason to breathe and thought i'd pick it up. both, again, are series' starters. and they're way past four hundred pages, too.


and that concludes my book haul for august! well, the physical one at least.

before we get into the book haul for my wattpad library, i just want y'all to appreciate alllll the tabs i put in my copy of 'it ends with us'. all the colors represent a different emotion i went through. i love this.


here's my wattpad library update! i am only now kind of learning to edit on my new computer, so this month y'all are getting only my list of the books i added. enjoy nevertheless! also, i just realized i forgot to make one for the month of july as well, so this is a combined list for both months.

so, now i've decided to join this little challenge called 5 for 1 challenge and basically this means that you have to read five books you own before buying a new book. and i've only now in september been really strict about it and i've only gotten my pre-orders this month so far, or more so, i'm getting them this month. there's four which means technically i would have to read twenty books this month but that ain't gonna happen right now 'cause i've made it really strict - so that i'm only counting the physical books i own and i'm not counting wattpad, ebooks and library books in there. also if i have two books in one, i'm counting it as one book - for example, in my copy of 'opposition', i also have a prequel novella called 'shadows'.

so this month i've not completed any of my own books so far, just library and wattpad books. i'm trying to get through some of my books and i really am itching to reread 'an ember in the ashes' but i can't before i finish 'opposition' and 'shadows', so there's that ish. 

today's song choice is 'into you' by ariana grande but it's dodie's cover. i love dodie.

until next time
