Book Haul (#1)

Hey there guys! :D Hope you're all doing really well. I'm currently into my third week of Uni and things are just cah-razy. But books make everything better of course and a bunch of the stuff I ordered was delivered recently.

....I also got some textbooks.
(But let's ignore them)

Okay guys, this is a series that I love and adore and just WISH that there were more people out there reading it! It's the series that got me falling in love with the adult urban fantasy genre and I just love, love, LOVE it so much. It has everything a paranormal lover could ask for - witches, werewolves, vampires, pixis, demons, elves, etc. And the main character is badass guys. BAD. ASS.

I purchased this one because I'd previously read the series from the library and needed to have an actual physical copy of my own. This one is the third in the series out of...I want to say 13 books? Yes 13.

Just seriously guys, HIGHLY recommended series for anyone who loves paranormal. Read it!

I've heard nothing but raving reviews for this series - I own the first but haven't gotten around to reading it, and now I have the whole trilogy! So excited. Looks like such a brilliant dystopian!

I've been dying to get my hands ever since Jessethereader could not stop raving about The Archived, and I felt like I owed it to Victoria Scwab to check out her debut novel first, especially considering the reviews for it are relatively high. And YAY witches! Can't get enough of them.

Guys guys guys guys GUYS. This book. This book is going to break me and I know it. 
My beautiful wonderful friend Beverly from A Reading Daydreamer told me she was currently reading this a while back and she said it was really good and of course, I felt compelled to grab my hands on it. But that summary though! And the reviews are super sky high. I know this one is going to be amaze-balls.

Another finale to a (from what I know) brilliant dystopian trilogy, and I'm now so excited to be able to marathon the whole series. 
And uh, also.....THOSE COVERS.
(I don't care if that makes me shallow they're just so beautiful)

Wow this really is a book haul of getting the last books in the series huh. I adore Jennifer L. Armentrout. Her Lux series is phenomenal (my heart is struggling with the wait for the fifth book) and so I thought I needed to check out her other paranormal YA series, which also sounds BRILLIANT. And everyone says it's brilliant. So it's going to be great I know it. 
SO PUMPED.

And phew! That's a lot of books. Well not that much, but hey, a lot for me and my bank account. How's the week been guys? Gotten any good books?
And of course, happy reading! <3

  1. The Near Witch was a really good read! And I've been hearing a lot of good things about The Sea of Tranquility--I haven't read it yet because it starts off really slowly and I couldn't get into it. But I hope you enjoy all of these books, Alice!
