Thursday 28 May 2015
As a tradition in my family, when someone turns 18 my dad gives them their savings account, I may have spent some of this money on books. Maybe. There is 17 books here (and though my friend told me to get an extra one so that I could say I got 18 books for my 18th birthday I just couldn't bring myself to do it) so let's get cracking.

    1. IT'S SO EXCITING. I finally pushed myself to get Final Empire. It might take me a while to get to reading it because the thought makes me NERVOUS but I WILL DO IT.

  2. Natalie this is the best post I have set sight on in ages. HEART EYES EMOJI ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'm so excited to see Second Chance Summer, Nick & Norah, Vampire Academy and The Knife of Never Letting Go here because I loved those books. And yay for PSISLY. I got it this week too and am so excited to read it! though also frightened..

    Also tell me how ACOTAR and Saint Anything go! I saw Saint Anything for 40% off at the bookstore and was SO CLOSE to getting it but I also have a funky relationship w Sarah Dessen books, like sometimes they work and other times they don't Her last book The Moon and More was not a favourite so I think I'm going to hold out before getting it. But def tell me how it goes!

    Also I am now convinced that the UK has the best looking paperbacks like SERIOUSLY.

    1. (I also just ordered the complete VA box set because I'm weak and don't want to buy them all separately).

      I'll let you know how Saint Anything is! I've heard it's a lot different than her other books but so far I've loved everything I've read by her so I hope I'll end up enjoying it :)

      Maybe you should just come down and see for yourself ;)

  3. There is not a single one on here that I don't approve of! Scarlet is my favorite in Meyer's series :D And I still need to read ADSOM, but Vicious was AMAZING so I'm sure it'll be fab!

    1. I don't actually have Cinder (I just ordered it though so I'll get to reading it soon) but I hope that I love this series as much as everyone else.

      I'm reading ADSOM right now and it's good! I don't have half an idea of what is going on but I can tell that I like it ;)

  4. Well first of all, happy happy birthday, Natalie! Judging by this book haul, I'm assuming your birthday was a rather kind one. I hope you had a memorable, enjoyable eighteenth birthday.

    I've been meaning to head down to the bookstore to pick up quite a number of your selections. And out of your book haul, Second Chance Summer was an all-time favorite of mine, so I do hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

      Everyone in the comments has been raving about Second Chance Summer so I have a feeling that it's going to be a good one ;)

    1. It's a tradition that made me happy, for sure ;) I'm also the last of the tradition (blessing/curse of being the youngest)

      I'm SO excited to read all of them you have no idea. It's like I can't choose which book to read next because I want to read them ALL!

  6. Wooow that is a book haul. I don't know how I could have resisted not buying 18 book sfor my 18th birthday. :D I love the UK editions of Jenny Han's series! Although, TBH, those books have the loveliest design no matter which edition.
