It
was another week of no book-buying! Yay! (And boo... No new books is a little
sad.)
Roar by Cora Carmack
Aristotle & Dante Discover the
Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz
Calamity by Brandon Sanderson
So
I’ve been putting a LOT of books on hold at my local library. Roar was one of them, and I’ve got more
coming in soon. I’ve been wanting to read Roar
since it was released, but I haven’t been able to justify purchasing it, especially
because I don’t know if I’ll like it. Now, I can test it out before purchasing.
(Also, have you seen the cover release for Roar’s
sequel Rage? It’s b-e-a-utiful!)
As
for Calamity and Aristotle and Dante, those were impulse grabs. I was browsing the
shelves, and I thought, “Why not?” I actually already own Calamity, but I’m currently reading Firefight. Unfortunately, I left my copy of book three, Calamity, at my parents’ house, so it
was easier to just pick it up at the library rather than have my mom ship it to
me. It’s also good because, if Firefight
ends on a cliffhanger or if I feel the need to immediately pick up the sequel,
I’ve got the finale within arms’ reach now.
What books have you
bought/received lately?
Roar was an awesome book. I hope you love all of your new goodies.

I've heard good things, so I hope I love it too. :)
DeleteOOh nice! I took awhile to get into Roar myself but once Roar got on her journey I was loving it!! Hope you will love it too!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I hope so! XD
DeleteCome on, it's great that you didn't buy books. Less of a chance of the TBR squashing you :D I also only got one book this week! I am happy about that. Review copy as well.
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Aristotle, so I hope you enjoy it :)
Haha. I guess that's true. My TBR won't get even more out of hand. Although, I do have to read 5 library books in 3 weeks. *sigh* :)
DeleteOK, now I'm curious about Roar. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteMe too! And thanks!
DeleteMy daughter keeps telling me to read Aristotle and Dante as it's one of her favourites. Great job on not buying books by the way. I'm trying to use my library more as well and get through books on my shelf that haven't been touched yet. Anyway, here's our haul: Bibliojunkies Hope you have a great week! ~ Bel
ReplyDeleteThanks! Have a great week too! :)
DeleteI miss going to the library! Since I started blogging, I've gone less and less. And I've bought more books, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Honestly I need to buy less books. D: I loved Roar! The cover of Rage is amazing. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week, Shell. =)
Check out my STS post!
Libraries are great for saving money, but they do limit the pretty collections.
DeleteThanks for visiting!
