I went to New York City for a weekend with my boyfriend in late June, so of course I had to visit the Strand Book Store, and I bought a few things. I had to resist the urge to keep buying more stuff too. I love that bookstore so much. I honestly could spend hours in there.
Bought:
-The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope
-Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst
Borrowed:
-Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
Gifted:
-Asylum (Asylum #1) by Madeleine Roux
-Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
My close friend Amanda sent me some lovely gifts for my birthday, including chocolate, a journal and a signed copy of Love Letters to the Dead! She got it signed for me at Fierce Reads, and I love her for it!

As always, I had trouble resisting the temptation of $1.99 deals for Kindle, not to mention that free Kindle book, The Chocolate Rose! How could I say no to a free book, especially when I've heard good things about her romances? And then the Vessel hardcover was on sale for a really good price on Amazon, and I've been meaning to read that one for far too long! Plus, those novellas were cheap, and I'm hoping to read them soon, since I love The Grisha and Fire and Thorns series! I'm excited to read all of these books, and I really need to stop buying any more, since I have a new house now that I'm moving into...
So what books did everyone else get recently? Have you read any of these?
Oh wow awesome haul!! Never heard of that particular bookstore. Of course I live nowhere near NY, so that's probably why! Glad you got so many amazing books this week! Happy Reading!

Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I really liked Attachments, hope you do too! I'm planning on reading Salt and Storm soon, I hope it's good. I got the Girl With All the Gifts too, but I haven't read it yet. The synopsis sounds creepy. Have fun reading! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteYay for The Chocolate Rose! I'm also a huge fan of Attachments and Everything Leads to You is just fantastic. I need to visit The Strand ASAP and I loooove that book bag (huge owl fan!) so I'm going to have to snag that too (even though I have waaay too many book bags!). Lovely haul, Courtney!(:
ReplyDeleteAsylum looks awesome! Added it to my TBR pile! My first ever Showcase Sunday post is up on my blog now, would love it if you could stop by? http://www.ablondelibrarian.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/sunday-showcase-1.html :) x
ReplyDeleteCourtney, you have got amazing books!! Everything leads to you is and amazing book and The Ghost of Graylock is a fantastic horror one. I've been meaning to visit The Strand bookstore for the longest time- one day for sure I'll have to. Love that Strand tote bag!! :) Lovely haul!! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh Oooh you got The Grisha novellas!! I have been meaning to get to them sometime because I would read anything Leigh Bardugo writes and I love that they're folktales from that world. Please post your thoughts if you read them because I would love to hear what you think!!
ReplyDeleteLove The Strand and I did in fact spend hours there. That tote is just too cute!
The Grisha novellas are amazing :) I really liked the stories! I've read one of those novellas from Rae Carson, but I can't remember which one it was.. It was good though! I'm reading right meow, haha, funny. I loved The girl with all the gifts. Very intense story. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome books! We'll definitely have to discuss Attachments, The Chocolate Rose, and The Golem and the Jinni, even if we don't end up reading them at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let me know how Jackaby is. I'm vaguely intrigued, but not sure whether it's really a "me" book.
That is a freaking fantastic tote. I love it! And so jealous of you getting The Mirk and Midnight Hour!
And, again, I'm glad my gifts arrived. I hope you enjoy them. <3
Something about that Little Knife cover speaks to me.
