Happy New Year to you lovely folk. We are well into 2015 and I still haven’t posted a Christmas book haul. I got a lot of books both given to me and purchased by me so I wanted to share my nerdy excitement here!
My sister heard me cry out and came running
to my room, asking me what was wrong. I said, “Cinder finished. And I don’t’
have the second one.” She bought me both sequels. My sister is the greatest. (Read my Cinder book review here.)
Sometimes the world is horrid. I am saving
this book for when I need to know how to survive human cruelty. Malala is a
young woman standing up against the Taliban by going to school and speaking out
on behalf of oppressed young women. At 17, she is possibly the greatest human
alive with a Nobel Peace Prize under her belt and a survivor of brutal gun
attacks. I already know this is going to be a massive book for me particularly
as feminist literature.
If you haven’t yet picked up a Rainbow
Rowell book I really don’t know what you’re doing. I am seriously excited to
start this one. This author has taken the young adult and adult contemporary
genre by storm, particularly in 2014. Her novel Eleanor and Park remains my
favourite youth fiction romance ever. Fangirl –omg Fangirl- is incredible. Go read Rainbow Rowell.
A fantastic new addition to my bookshelf
(one that I bought myself) in the form of a teen urban fantasy-suspense. I
remember reading Westerfeld’s Uglies
series in my early teens and being enchanted by his world-building and plot
driven storyline. This is one book to watch.
I purchased this by suggestion of a friend
who promised me a mighty heroine and a premise which would blow my mind. I’m
hesitantly excited but I trust Richelle Mead – author of Bloodlines which I love
- with my fragile fangirl life. I am always excited to start new series.
