Book hauls revisited - February 2016 - 2017.

Hi booklovers

I'm running a bit behind with these book haul revisited posts, so it's time to take a look at my bookhauls for February 2016 and 2017.

February 2016

*A Memory of Lights by Brandon Sanderson / Robert Jordan. I actually ordered this from Abebooks because I couldn't find the mass market paperback anymore.

*Trial by Fire by Josephine Angelini. I've since heard mixed things about this book.

*Mystic City by Theo Lawrence. Same story as with Trial by Fire.

*Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott. This was supposed to be a trilogy, but apparently the third was never released.

*Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. This was a gift from one of my best friends :-)

*Abraham Lincoln, vampire hunter and Last America Vampire by Seth Graeme-Smith. These were both gifts from a close friend as well.

 

*Six of Crows, Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo. I already owned and read Shadow and Bone and I loved it, so I ordered the other two books in the trilogy.

*Ice Like Fire by Sara Raasch. I had already read the first book in the trilogy.

February 2017

*Fables volume 3: Storybook Love by Billy Willingham.

*Saga volume 4 by Brian K Vaughan.

*Alex+Ada volume 1 by Jonathan Luna.

*Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas. Book 5 in the Throne of Glass series.

*Gilded Cage by Vic James. I got this in MyBookishCrate bookbox.

*The Novice by Taran Matharu.

*Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton. 

*The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins.

These are the ones I've already read.

*Six of Crows. I loved this book and Leigh Bardugo has become an (almost) auto-buy author.

*Siege and Storm. I really enjoyed this a lot.

*Ruin and Rising. I went into this book with really high expectations and for the most part it was really good, but I found the ending to be a bit anti-climatic.

*Ice Like Fire. I've actually read this twice. I really enjoyed it the first time around, but I really struggled to get through it the second time. But I wanted to finish it because I wanted to read the third book.

*Fables 3. I enjoyed this, right up to the final pages and I'm probably not going to be continuing with this series.

* Saga volume 4. I found this to be less good than the first three. I did want to continue with the series.

*Alex + Ada. I looooooved this so much.

I wasn't kidding last month when I said that I haven't read all the books I bought in the past. 

Have you read any of these? Any recommendations on which one of the unread ones I should pick up soon?

Bye for now

My Bookish Crate #4 (February 2017) Unboxing.

Hi booklovers

This is my unboxing for the February MyBookishCrate box. Unfortunately, this will be the last box I'll be getting since they are no longer in business and I was unable to get their final box.

The info card was stunning - the theme was parallel worlds

Meraki Candle - Kell (A Darker Shade of Magic)

Jace and Clary (The Mortal Instruments) magnetic bookmarks

Alice in Wonderland notebooks

Funko Mystery Mini - Harry Potter (Hermione Granger)

Two buttons inspired by A Darker Shade of Magic

Gilded Cage by Vic James

I hadn't heard of this book but it sounds intriguing.

Even though I've never read - and never will read - A Darker Shade of Magic I was very pleased with the items in this box. I'm very sad that they're no longer in business, but at least I was able to get 4 of their boxes.

Do you have any booksubscription boxes? Let me know in the comments.

Bye for now
