Broke and Bookish Book Haul for 9/15 - 9/28

Daisy's Book Haul



Bought:
-More Than This by Patrick Ness: Book Club made me do it! I've been hearing all sorts of wonderful things about Patrick Ness' writing and although this book doesn't sound particularly exciting, I will read it and hopefully become a fan as well. It's also the first book club book! Yay book club! :)
-The Ocean At The End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman: I tell myself the excuse that I had to buy it because I am a member of this bookish-thing and it has me ordering a book from them every 3 months, but really, it's shiny. And it's Neil Gaiman.
-Hidden by Sophie Jordan: Because I can't resist ordering all the books in a series I haven't even started yet... This is a thing now...
-Deception by C.J. Redwine: I've heard really good things about Defiance and although I haven't read it yet myself, I plan to soonish!

Gifted:
I have many amazing people in my life and they make my heart happy buying me books!
-From my brother for my birthday: Het Meisjesboek: the original title was The Daring Book For Girls and it promises me that it has EVERYTHING a girl should know hidden in its pages :)
-From the GP I have my residency with for my birthday: Stand-up Filosoof: which translates as Stand-Up Philosopher, it's a non-fiction book and it sounds really interesting!
-From The Broke and the Bookish's very own Kimberly just because she's an amazing person: Tuesdays At The Castle by Jessica Day George: I ADORE this book! If you haven't read it, go do it now, because it's a Middle Grade novel that totally stole my heart! And Kimberly, being the wonderful person she is, went to a signing a while back and got me a signed copy as well!! Look how pretty it is:


I know I already said it, but thank you so much!! <3



Egalleys for Review:
-Poison Dance by Livia Blackburne: prequel to the Midnight Thief, which will be released in 2014, sounds really good!
-Gentlemen Prefer Mischief by Emily Greenwood: I love a good ugly duckling turns beauty story :)
-Far From You by Tess Sharpe: this sounds SO CREEPY and amazing and just YAY!!!
-Infinityglass by Myra McEntire: SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!! I really love this series and I'm dying to find out what happens in this last book!
-Afterparty by Ann Redisch Stampler: lately I've been leaning towards more contemporary and this one sounds amazing!
-Taste of Darkness by Maria V. Snyder: EEEE!! ALL THE EXCITEMENT!!! I mean, seriously, I squealed when I saw this on NetGalley and you better believe I'm reading it soon!! So much love for Maria V. Snyder's writing!!
-Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong: I've heard really good things about Kelley Armstrong's books and this one sounds like just my kind of book!
-Wicked Little Secrets by Susanna Ives: a childhood hero. Really, that's all I need.
-The Scandal In Kissing An Heir by Sophie Barnes: I really enjoyed the first book in this series and this one sounds really good as well :)


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. More Than This! I saw the book trailer for that one and can't wait to read it. I just finished A Monster Calls the other day and LOVED it. I hope this one is just as good.

    The Ocean at the End of the Lane is great! It's very Neil. :)

    Enjoy all your books!

  6. I must admit that I am not a huge Neil Gaiman fan (scandalous, I know); I read all of his books and then there is something always missing for me. Anyway, I loved The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
