Spring 2017 Book Haul

Hey y’all! Today I have a huge book haul! It is all the books I have bought since January going up until the end of March. I kept saying that I wanted to get a few more books so that I could have a fuller post, but I did not realize how out of hand the situation had gotten! So settle in, because this is going to be a long one!

1. Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods by Rick Riordan is a collection of greek mythology stories narrated my Percy Jackson. It is said to be hilarious, plus I love Percy’s humor! I am super excited to learn more about the lives of the greek gods in a fun format!
2. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is one of the first dystopian novels ever. It was published back in 1931. I don’t know when I will read it, but I am happy to have it!
3. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton is another classic, published in 1967. It is incredibly iconic, and follows two teenage gangs. Again, I have no idea when I will read this one, but it is nice to have.
4. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is a memoir that follows Jeannette and her family through a childhood of homelessness. I read this book last month and I loved it!
5. Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson is a contemporary novel. It surrounds a family as they spend one last summer together after they receive devastating news. I read Since You’ve Been Gone last year and it is my favorite contemporary, so I am looking forward to where this one takes me!
6. Kings Cage by Victoria Aveyard is the third book in the Red Queen series. It is a YA dystopian series that I have been loving!
7. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray is about a girl who is sent to an victorian English boarding school after her mother dies. It deals with the supernatural and historical England.
8. The Diviners by Libba Bray is a supernatural historical fiction novel. It follows multiple characters in New York City in 1926 as a dark power has awoken.
9. Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray is the sequel to The Diviners
10. Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas is the 5th book in the Throne of Glass series. I just read Throne of Glass a few weeks ago and I am pumped to continue on with this series.
11. Unashamed by Lecrae is the autobiography of christian rapper, Lecrae. I have heard it is incredibly important and profound, so I am looking forward to reading this one!
12. Looking for Lovely by Annie F. Downs is about loving the moment you are in and collecting the moments that matter. I have heard Annie speak a few times and I love her! I also read Lets All Be Brave by her, so I am excited to start reading Looking for Lovely!
13. It’s Not What You Think by Jefferson Bethke is about the misconceptions that christians have about christianity. I watch his youtube videos a lot, so I am interested in seeing what he has to say in this book!
14. Planet of Viruses by Carl Zimmer is a bind up of essays that I had to read for my biology class. It wasn’t a grand time, but I did not hate it.
