Daisy's Book Haul



Birthday Books!
Like I said last time, I'm a lucky girl and have wonderful people in my life who buy me books for my birthday :) My mom got me these:
-Sabriel by Garth Nix
Lirael by Garth Nix
Abhorsen by Garth Nix: the beautiful boxed set of The Abhoren Trilogy! I'm so excited!! People keep telling me how amazing this series is :D
-The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle: I've heard a lot of good things about Lauren Myracle's Shine and this sounded like it could be my kind of book!
-Five Summers by Una LaMarche: because seriously, I love books about friendships. Even if they're falling apart, because that's life and not every friendship lasts forever. Also: SUMMER CAMP! EEE!
-Relativity by Cristin Bishara: because look at the gorgeous cover!! And I'm fascinted by alternate realities!
-Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling: I owned the whole series in English, except for this one and now I can blisfully stare at my beautiful complete set! :D

You're probably not reading this, but thank you so much mom!!
