Broke and Bookish Book Haul for 5/26 - 6/8

Daisy's Book Haul



Egalleys for review:
-This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales: I LOVED Past Perfect, I'm really excited to read this!!
-Less Than a Gentleman by Kerrelyn Sparks: this will be my first book by this author, it really sounds like my kind of romance!
-Catherine by April Lindner: I'm actually part of a blog tour for this book, I'm always up for a classics retelling!
-Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken: EEEE! ALL THE EXCITEMENT!!! Seriously, I never expected to love The Darkest Minds as much as I did, but it was AMAZING and I cannot wait to read the sequel!!


Bought:
-Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein: EEE! SO EXCITED! So much love for Code Name Verity! I think this is the UK version and for some reason it came out 3 months before the US version :)
-The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen: this will be my first ever Sarah Dessen book, I've heard so many good things about her writing!
-The Gatecrasher by Madeleine Wickham (AKA Sophie Kinsella): this was a total bargain at my local bookstore and I love her books!
-Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier: so I still need to read Ruby Red, I HAD to pre-order the paperback because of reasons! That dress is gorgeous!
-Confederates Don't Wear Couture by Stephanie Kate Strohm: I really loved Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink and am eager to dive back into Libby's life and her antics :)
-Once Upon a Tower by Eloisa James: I'm fully on the Eloisa James bandwagon and this sounds really cute!
-Impostor by Susanne Winnacker: seriously, I'm DYING to read this book! It sounds so good!
-The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn: I'm making it my mission to read all of Julia Quinn's backlist and our very own Julia says this book is AMAZING, so I'm excited :)
-Boys Wanted by Flynn Meaney: the paperback version of The Boy Recession, though I'm not entirely sure why they changed the title... I kinda liked The Boy Recession better. Well, anyway, this does sound like a cute read :)

Our Broke & Bookish book haul is inspired by memes like IMM & Stacking the Shelves & Mailbox Monday. This is just our very simple way of doing it collaboratively so we can participate in all of them and not have to choose one.

  4. I just read The Darkest Minds and loved it. You're so lucky to have an e-ARC of Never Fade! The Boy Recession (seriously, why would they change the title?) and Sapphire Blue are both in my TBR pile.

    Happy Reading!

    1. I feel very lucky! :D
      I don't know why they would change that either... It's not really a better title... Oh well, if the book is awesome all will be forgiven :)
