Hi guys, I've got a book haul today because I
am in a reading slump and for some
reason, my brain has kind of taken that
fact and used it as an excuse to buy
even more books. I have picked up some
books that I'm really looking forward to
and I'm really excited about but also I
have bought far too many books. Just in
general but especially for someone that
currently isn't really reading all that
much but as I said, I am excited about
books and I have picked up and I'm
looking forward to reading them, in
thirty, three hundred years, who knows.
When I'm eventually, hopefully out of
this slump. So today I just thought I would
show you the ones that I have picked up.
The first book I have is one that I have
actually already read but that was a
couple of months ago, when I wasn't in
this reading slump and that is 'Doing It!'
by Hannah Witton and I received an e-ARC
for this and I just enjoyed it enough
that I wanted to get a physical copy of
it and I do have a full review for this on
my channel, so I will leave a link to that in
the description box below if you would
like to hear all of my thoughts on it
but I thought this is fantastic.
I absolutely loved it. It's all about sex and
relationships and it was just fantastic.
So yeah, 'Doing It!' by Hannah Witton, it was great.
Next I have 'Mad Girl. A Happy Life With a Mixed Up Mind'
by Bryony Gordon and I picked this up after listening to her
podcast with Prince Harry, probably about
three hundred times. Prince Harry talking about mental
health and mental illness is my new
favourite thing in the entire world.
But she sounded really interesting and this
is her kind of memoir autobiography type
thing, talking about her journey with
mental illness and specifically OCD and
I just thought it sounded really
interesting and she seemed really lovely,
so I thought I'd pick this up and see
what it's like because I have not read
any kind of autobiography or nonfiction
about mental health. So considering
that I had already heard her talking
about it a little bit, this seemed like a
good place to start. I then also picked
up 'Wonder Woman' written by Sam Maggs
and illustrated by Sofia Foster-Dimino
and I have had my eye on this for
literally months and it's a collection
all about different women throughout
history and I absolutely love learning
about history but specifically
individuals throughout history and even
more specifically, women throughout
history and this just sounds fantastic.
It says it's about twenty five innovators,
inventors and trailblazers who changed
history. And I only know about a couple
of the women in this, so I'm really
excited to pick this up and there are
some really awesome illustrations in it.
So I'm excited about this and I'm so
happy that I finally let myself buy it
because it just sounds absolutely fantastic.
I finally got my copy of 'The Hate You Give'
by Angie Thomas and I ordered this
absolutely ages ago and I ordered the US
edition, thinking that it would arrive in
time and before the UK edition came out
because I just wanted to read it as soon as possible
but it turns out that was completely
pointless because this arrived about
two weeks after the UK edition was
released. This was inspired by the black
lives movement and I've heard just the
most wonderful things about it. So I'm
very much looking forward to this and
I'm hoping that I'm going to pick it up
as soon as possible, whenever this slump finally goes.
Next I have 'By Your Side'
by Kasie West and this is about a girl
that gets trapped in a library for the
weekend with a guy and that is all I
know about it but it sounds like a dream
I have probably had, getting trapped in a
library for a weekend. I've also heard
that the main character and this is
suffering with anxiety, so I'm really
excited to see how that is represented
and especially represented in this kind
of situation. So yeah, I'm really looking
forward to this because as I said I have
no doubt that I have dreamt the plot
of this book at some point. I also have
'Always and Forever, Lara Jean' by Jenny Han,
which is the third and I'm now
assuming final book in the 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before'
now trilogy. I'm so used to calling it a
duology and I'm so looking forward to this.
I absolutely adore the first two
books in this trilogy and yeah, this is on my
TBR for this month, so I'm hoping that I will, fingers crossed,
get around to reading it. Another book
that is also on my TBR for this month is
'The Upside of Unrequited' by Becky Albertalli
and I think that this may
possibly be the book, out of this whole haul,
that I am most looking forward to
because it just sounds fantastic and I
really don't know much about it but from
what I have heard about it, it kind of
just sounds like everything I'm looking
for in a book and everything I would
absolutely love and want from a book and I'm
really, really hoping that this is as
fantastic as everybody is saying it is
because I've heard so many wonderful
things about it and especially the
diversity in it and kind of how
inclusive it is. I am very, very much
looking forward to picking this up and
I'm really hoping that I do get around
to reading it this month because I'm
just so excited for it.
Ink Road publishing then very kindly
sent me a copy of 'The Jungle' by Pooja Puri
and all I know about this is that
it is set in a refugee camp in Calais
and that is unlike anything I've read
before, simply because of how current it
is. So it sounds really interesting.
I then have 'History Is All You Left Me'
by Adam Silvera and I've never read
anything by Adam Silvera before, which is just kind of
ridiculous considering how many
wonderful things I've heard about his books.
So I'm really looking forward to picking
this up and finally reading something
from Adam Silvera because as I said, I've
only heard the most amazing things.
And I follow him on Twitter and he just seems
like such a nice person.
Next I have 'Geekerella' by Ashley Poston
and this I believe is a modern-day
Cinderella retelling, where Cinderella is
working at a food truck at a ComicCon
convention kind of thing and then the
Prince is an actor in her favourite show.
It just sounds fantastic and I am so
excited about this because I absolutely
love fairytale retellings, they're some of
my favourite things to read and also
anything slightly nerd or fandom related,
just warms my little geek heart and I'm
so looking forward to it and also to
make things even better, there is a dog
on a front cover, which automatically
makes me ridiculously happy. So I'm very,
very much looking forward to picking this up.
I then have 'A Tragic Kind of Wonderful' by Eric Lindstrom and all I
know about this is that the main
character is living with bipolar and that
is something I've never read about in a
main character before, so I'm really
looking forward to reading that and I'm
hoping that it is done well but apart
from that, I really don't know anything
about this book. So I'm hoping that I
enjoy the plot of it because I have no clue what this is about.
I then have a book that I was really excited
about it when I first picked it up
because there was so much hype
surrounding the release and now I've
heard some very kind of questionable
things about the plot. So I don't quite
know how to feel about it and that is
'Caraval' by Stephanie Garber. I have now heard
some things that made me not that
excited about this, so I don't really
know whether I will read this. I don't know, I
need to read a couple more reviews and
kind of see where people stand on it but
I have it and also it is absolutely
stunning and there is the most gorgeous
map inside the front cover and then this
gold foil hat type thing in the inside. So yes, it's a
gorgeous book but I don't quite know how
I feel about it. I then have 'Heartless'
by Marissa Meyer which is one I am
so, so excited about and I've been
wanting to read this for forever and a day.
I believe it is a kind of 'Alice in Wonderland'
prequel, following the Queen
of Hearts and that's all I know about
the plot of it because I've somehow
managed to avoid any kind of spoiler and
I absolutely love 'The Lunar Chronicles'.
It is one of my favourite series and that
is also written by Marissa Meyer and as I said before, I absolutely
love fairytale retellings and I really
enjoy Marissa Meyers writing, so I have high
hopes for this and I'm really hoping
that I'm not going to be disappointed
because I am so excited about it and
also I absolutely adore the cover.
I also picked up 'On The Other Side'
by Carrie Hope Fletcher and I love Carrie,
she's one of my favourite youtubers.
I think she's one of the first
youtubers I ever watched and I really
enjoyed her first book, so I'm excited
about this. I don't really know too much
about it, other than I think it's this
kind of magical realism about someone
that dies and is stuck in kind of
limbo and has to complete something
before they can go to heaven. I may be
completely wrong about that but that is
kind of the idea that I've picked up on.
I think I'm wrong but I'm really looking
forward to this. I really enjoy Carrie's
writing and I'm excited to read some of her fiction
because that is something I haven't read before.
I also picked up 'Crooked Kingdom' by Leigh Bardugo and I picked this
up because it was about £3
in the supermarket. I haven't read
'Six of Crows' yet. I really, really want to
because I've heard so many fantastic
things about it but I haven't read it.
I don't even own it. I haven't even
finished 'The Grisha Trilogy' yet, which
I need to do as soon as possible. But I
knew that I definitely really wanted to
get around to reading this at some point
in the future, who knows when but I knew
I definitely wanted to, so I thought I
couldn't miss out on getting it for
£3 instead of waiting and then
ending up getting it for £8 or
something like that. So I have this.
Rock the Boat then very kindly sent me
a proof for 'City of Saints and Thieves'
by Natalie C. Anderson and this was one of my
most highly anticipated releases for the
whole year because it just sounds
so fantastic and it's basically a thriller
revenge story set in Kenya and I love
thrillers but I haven't read any in such
a long time. So I'm really looking
forward to this and yeah it just sounds
absolutely brilliant and I believe that
this is being released in June.
If 'By Your Side' sounded like a dream I
probably had, this is a nightmare
I am 99.9% certain I have had and this
is 'This Is Not a Test' by Courtney Summers
and it is about a girl that gets trapped
in her high school with some classmates,
during the zombie apocalypse and I know
I have dreamt at some point. Especially
considering the amount of zombie shows I
consume and the fact that I wasn't
the biggest fan of high school and it
just sounds so fantastic, I'm so looking
forward to this. This again I think is
one of the ones I'm most looking forward
to reading out of all of the books I have
and also I believe the main character in
this is suffering with depression, which
I'm really intrigued to see how that is
integrated into the plot. I want to
get to it as soon as possible because it
sounds absolutely fantastic and like
something I will absolutely love and
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I do.
'The Princess Saves Herself in This One'
is a poetry collection by a Amanda Lovelace
that I've been wanting to pick up for
absolutely ages because I've heard the most
wonderful things about it and I've now
read a couple of the poems in it and
honestly, I am already completely and
utterly in love with this book. And last
but not least I have 'Pride and Prejudice'
by Jane Austen, which I have never
ever read. Nor have I watched any of the
movies or the TV shows because I've
always said that I wanted to read the book
before I watched it. So I think I am the
only person on the planet, that doesn't
actually really know what
'Pride and Prejudice' is about. So I'm looking
forward to reading this and finally
knowing what all the fuss is about
because at the moment the only thing
honestly I kind of know about it, is that
at some point Collin Firth as Mr. Darcy
comes out of a lake and is wearing a wet
white t-shirt, that's all I know. So I'm
looking forward to finally reading this
and not being the only person on the
planet that doesn't really know what
'Pride and Prejudice' is about. So those are
all of the books that I picked up over
the past couple of months. I would
absolutely love to know if you have read
any of these and what you thought of
them or if you thinking about reading
any of them, I would really love to know
and also I would be extremely interested
to know if when you are in a reading
slump, do you buy more or less books because
I tend to buy far too many books. I buy
so many books when I'm in a reading
slump and it just on one hand makes it
so much worse because my TBR then get
overwhelming and intimidating but on the
other hand it makes me so much more
excited about reading because I have so
many new fantastic books that I'm
excited about, so I don't know.
It's all a mess, it's all a complete mess up in here.
But that is basically it. I will leave the
links to my Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr,
Goodreads, Blog and Snapchat in the
description box below to feel free to follow
me on anything if you would like and I
just hope you're having the most
wonderful day. Bye!
