Can you believe it ??
My book number isn't in the double digits. *insert extreme gasp*
I know I know. I 'm about as shocked as you guys. Never thought I'd see the day where I maintained the ultimate kind of restraint.
Grant it, I was still broke by the end of the month, but only because I actually needed things. Not that books aren't a MAJOR necessity. No, I just needed stuff for school... food.... sanity... more food. Stuff like that.
Anyway, since I have only 5 books to show you, this post shouldn't be that long.
Enjoy.♥
1. If I Stay
Goodreads • Buy it
Like I mentioned in my August TBR, I'd already read this book. Well more like skimmed through it cuz my brain was too impatient to find out what happens. So yes, I already know what the outcome is in the end; I know what choice she makes. But like I said, I didn't really "read" the book like i should have. I didn't appreciate what my eyes were glancing over. So in lu of the movie's debut, I decided I would read it before I watched the movie (as any good reader should). I can't wait to read it because i've been hearing nothing but great things about it
2. Night CircusGoodreads • Buy it
This was my job's book club pick of the month. I do actually already own the e-book version of it, but because I'm not necessarily the biggest e-book fan, I decided to just go ahead and buy the physical copy. I haven't read the book yet unfortunately, and the reason it's not in my book haul snap shot it because my friend is borrowing it. And from her, I've heard that it's pretty great. In fact, she says "it's probably one of her favorite books in life." So whenever she gives it back, I'll give it go, since we pretty much have the same taste in books.
3/4/5. The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy
Goodreads • Buy it
I was initially going to check these books out at the library, read them, then see how much I liked what i read before I bought them. But circumstances made me impatient. So for days I contemplated and strategized my Barnes and Noble buys. Until the time came where I just decided to check out Thrift Books to see what they had to offer. And lo and behold they came through. The total package cost for all three books was estimated to about $9.50. Not bad, eh? And when my package came in, I found a few treasures in one of my books.... A plane ticket and a couple old receipts. Obviously they're expired, but I thought it was pretty cool how things get passed around. Anyway, I have the books, but I have yet to read them...
Story of my life.
Now I know August is already over, but I've had a lot going on towards the end of the month: School starting (-__-), college prep, work, family.
I'm here to stay though.
Even though this is my last year of high school and around this time next year I'll be out on my own, this blog will always be in the corners of my mind. I'll try as hard as I can to find time to keep posting.
Summer blog writing has been fantastic ride for me, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has to hold.
I love you all.
Hugs and Candy,
Lyric♥
