Broke and Bookish Book Haul for 6/9 - 6/22

Daisy's Book Haul



Egalleys for Review:

-Time After Time by Tamara Ireland Stone: I haven't actually read the first book in this series yet, but I've heard AMAZING things about it, very excited to dive into this series!
-Midnight Frost by Jennifer Estep: I have had lots of ups and downs with this series, but the last book was SO GOOD, I'm really excited to see what happens next for Gwen and Logan!!
-How To Marry a Highlander by Katharine Ashe: I love Katharine Ashe's historical romance!
-Summer is For Lovers by Jennifer McQuiston: I'm all for young women in historical romances breaking society's rules :)


Bought:
So this was the book haul when LOTS OF PRE-ORDERS came in and some of my splurges because of BEA envy ;)

-An Offer From A Gentleman by Julia Quinn: Julia Quinn is awesome, I really want to read her whole backlist :)
-How To Tame Your Duke by Juliana Gray: I'm trying to discover more historical romance authors to love and decided to give Juliana Gray a try.
-Keeping the Castle by Patricia Kindl: this book sounds ADORABLE! And I love castles :)
-Dark Triumph by R.L. LaFevers: so I still need to read Grave Mercy, but seriously ASSASSIN NUNS. Enough said.
-Reached by Ally Condie: another series I need to start, I'll just binge-read them soonish :)
-The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson: ALL THE EXCITEMENT!! And it is so PRETTY! :D
-Goddess by Josephine Angelini: I loved Starcrossed and just had to have the ending to this series!
-I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella: I love Sophie Kinsella's books, they are the very best chicklit in my humble opinion.
-The Innocent Mage by Karen Miller: I'll be honest, I'm looking at a LOOOONG wait after the last of the A Song of Ice and Fire books and I'm looking for epic fantasy series to read to tie me over.
-Dance of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin: I LOVED Masque of the Red Death, so excited to continue this series!
-Enchanted by Alethea Kontis: I've heard MANY good things about Enchanted and its sequel!
-As I Wake by Elizabeth Scott: I'm always intrigued by a good amnesia story and this one sounds really creepy!
-Storybound by Marissa Burt: it's about a school were children learn how to be a fairytale character, YES I AM SO IN!
-Identity Theft by Anna Davies: this is actually a bit smaller than I had expected, so it'll be a fast, creepy read!

Jen's Book Haul

 
 
*all books from the library
 
- Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys:
I loved Between Shades of Gray and I can't wait to start this book!
 
- Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler:
Started reading this one and it sounds SO FAMILIAR..like I think I may have read it before but according to Goodreads I haven't.
 
- Easy by Tammara Webber:
 I saw a raving review of this book either on a blog or Goodreads and decided to give it a try!



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.

  2. Great books, both of you! I have Reached and Out of Easy on my TBR pile and they both sound amazing. Easy is a great book, my first NA read but it was still good :) Happy reading!

  6. I'm glad I'm not the only one that had a BEA-envy-binge LOL!

    Out of the Easy was great - Ruta Sepetys knows how to write historical fiction :-D

    Enjoy!

  7. Grave Mercy was literally my all time FAVORITE book from last year, so I'm really hoping you won't be disappointed! I have Dark Triumph waiting for me on my bookshelf now too! I can't wait to get to it! I think it will be very soon now that it's summer. :) Enchanted was fun and I can't wait to try out Hero's story next! Bethany Griffin's story was SUCH a cliffhanger that I'm DYING to read book 2 and can't wait for that one!!! I'm very jealous that you got that one! Very cool! I just got an ARC of Gooddes from a pal, so now I can read both book 2&3 of Angelini's series! I've been waiting for her to finish the series. Fantastic haul Daisy! WOW!

  12. There are far too many awesome books in this list for me to name them all. I am really looking forward to Time After Time, though. I read the first book and it was some of the most beautiful prose.
    Enjoy them all!
