October Book Haul 2018

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to share the books I acquired in October. I haven’t really bought any books lately until this month. This month was huge for new releases and I bought the ones I was most interested i or had really anticipated. I’m super excited for all these books and I can’t wait to read them. I will post a picture of all the physical books and then I will add the kindle books I’ve bought too. So let’s get into them.

 

➢ Grim Lovelies by Megan Shepherd

I bought this because I heard Emma from Emmmabooks on youtube talked about it and she said it had been compared to The Mortal Instruments. I have to see if that is true and I’m really intrigued by the synopsis of this book.

➢ A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi

I had to buy this book because I love Tahereh Mafi and her writing. I have started reading this and I’m so far enjoying it a lot. I’ve heard so many amazing things about this book. Also I always read Tahereh’s books so fast.

➢ The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee 

This is the sequel/companion novel to The Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtue, which I loved so much. This is all about Monty’s little sister Felicity and I’m so excited since she is asexual and I think she is also aromantic? I’m just super excited and I will hopefully read this next month.

➢ What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

I have read two of Becky’s books and one Adam Silvera book and I loved both their writing. I’m super excited to see how this works out!

➢ Muse of Nightmares by Lani Taylor 

This is the sequel to Strange the Dreamer. I still have yet to read that, but I have heard so many good things about both these books and I’m super excited to just marathon them and see if the hype is real.

➢ Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa 

This book is inspired by Japanese mythology. It’s also an ownvoices YA fantasy. I’m a sucker for anything that says it’s inspired by mythology. I don’t know when I will get to this tho as I’m not in the mood for fantasy right now.

➢ On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden

This is a graphic novel and honestly I don’t really know what it’s about. I was just drawn to the cover and the art inside looked so beautiful I just had to have it.

➢ Giant Days vol. 8 by John Allison 

This is a comic series I love so much. I started it this year and it can always put a smile on my face. I have already read this, but I will talk more about that in my wrap up.

➢ Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul by Nikita Gill

This is a poetry collections all inspired by fairytales, hut with a 2018 twist. I love Nikita Gill’s writing so much.

➢ Euphoria by F.S. Yousaf

This is another poetry collection. This is really short and I read it so fast. This is all about growth, mental illness, growing up as a muslim in america and self-reflections.

➢ Sincerely by F.S. Yousaf 

Another poetry collection. This is all about love. It is really short and sweet.

➢ The Land I Lost by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan

This is the 7th novella in the Ghost from the shadow market novellas. I will talk more about this in my wrap up.
