I wasn't going to buy any books for a while, because I have so many books on my bookshelf already that I need to read. But then it still happened, ups… But really the main reason for buying these books was because I wanted some more stand alone novels. I mostly read series, so I thought it would be nice to have some stand alones to break off with once in a while. I still got to sneak in some books that are part of a series though. Again..ups.. ;)
I have a total of 17(!) books to show, so without further adieu, lets get started. The books I got was:
The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty click here for synopsis
This book was the one that made me actually give in to buying books, even though I had decided not to. It is an adult book, and I haven't read a lot of adult book, so I wanted to try something new. And besides, it does sound pretty intriguing.
The Lost Husband by Katherine Center click here for synopsis
This is another adult book, and it just seems like such a nice, sweet story. And with it's 304 pages it should be a pretty quick read.
Hush Little Baby by Suzanne Redfearn click here for synopsis
Just sounds like another great, adult book about a very serious topic, domestic violence. A sad, but still interesting read.
Such a rush by Jennifer Echols click here for synopsis
This is a contemporary book, which is a genre I don't read a lot of. I've heard and read so many good reviews about this one. And who doesn't love a good love triangle drama.
Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge click here for synopsis
I was in a mood for reading some scary books when I ordered this. I don't know if it is a good idea, cause I get scared pretty easily, and I almost never watch horror movies anymore. But hopefully this book isn't too scary. Crossing my fingers :)
Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson click here for synopsis
A book that has gotten a lot of hype lately in the book community, which was manly the reason why I bought it. A light, fun summer read.
Still Missing by Chevy Stevens click here for synopsis
A thriller/mystery book, which is a genre I have not read a lot from, but I think I will enjoy. It is the type of movie I would have chosen to see, so hopefully I will like reading it. My sister has read it and she says it is really good.
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han click here for synopsis
Antoher book that has gotten a lot of hype lately, because of Jenny Han's recently new book.
This is the first book in a trilogy, and it just seem like the perfect summer read which I find pretty fitting as it is in fact summer :)
Spirit Bound and Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead click here and here for synopsis
This is the last two books in the Vampire Academy series. I have read the first two and I really enjoyed them. So I wanted to make sure I had all the books ready when I continue on with the series.
Between by Jessica Warman click here for synopsis
Not much to say..another mystery/thriller ghost story, which sounds really intriguing. Can't wait!
Torn Away by Jennifer Brown click here for synopsis
This book sounds so sad, but also very beautiful. I read a lot of YA fantasy books, so it is nice with some books that have real life stories. Getting you're life ruined by a tornado, is something a lot of people has experienced. I'm looking forward to seeing how this book turns out.
Dear Thing by Julie Cohen click here for synopsis
Yet another adult book. This plot sounds very interesting, and it seems like a hopeless situation. I think this book can turn out to be very sad.
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher click here for synopsis
Another popular book in the book community. It sounds super intriguing and mysterious. It seems like I have really been wanting to read about pretty serious topics, and this book is no exception as it is about suicide. Another fun fact, I think it is going to be made into a movie, which is always fun :)
White Bones and Broken Angels by Graham Masterton click here and here for synopsis
This is book 1 and 2 in the "Katie Maguire" series. There is a third book, but that don't come out until september 1st this year.
I saw this first book in the airport a couple of years ago, and was really intrigued when I read the back of it. Then I suddenly remembered it and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get it this time.
It is a crime/mystery/thriller series, and it sounds so good.
Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight's click here for synopsis
This was kind of a fail order for me. I thought I ordered the real book, but in stead I got this 30-minute instaread summary…doh… Who wants something like that anyway? well-well, guess I have learned to read the description properly from now on, before ordering ;)
That was all the books I got for now. It will (hopefully) be a while before my next book haul, because I need to read more from my TBR shelf. But at least now I have a lot of fun and different stand alones to read in between all the series. It is so much fun getting new books, and I guess since I had my birthday in July it is justified ;)
….
Elin
