Library Book Haul #1

As a book blogger, I love to share with my readers the books that I buy but recently I have been trying to save money and not buy books. However, I did stop into my local Library and picked up a few books that I am excited to read and share with my readers. Also, I wanted to add a disclaimer that all of the synopsis are provided by Goodreads.  

1. Nightschool, Vol. 1 The Weirn Books by Svetlana Chmakova: When her older sister, the new keeper of a school that teaches creatures of the night such as vampires and witches, disappears, Alex enrolls in the school to find out what happened to her.

I am usually not an anime/manga person but I saw this book and the storyline just kind of sucked me in. I hope that after reading this I might get more into manga/graphic novels.  

2. If I Stay by Gayle Forman: Mia goes for a drive with her family, and in an instant, everything changes. Suddenly, all the choices are gone, except one. And it's the only one that matters.

I am sure everyone has seen the trailer for the film version of this book, which is a actually the reason I wanted to read this novel. I had never heard of the novel before seeing the movie trailer and I knew before I saw the movie I had to read the book.  

3. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton: In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naïve to the twisted motives of others.

The cover of this book caught my eye and the story was quite interesting so I decided to check it out. I think that the story will be mysterious and without being slow.  

4. This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith: When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, the two seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds.

I was excited to see this book at the library because I have been wanting to read this since it was first release back in April. I am a big contemporary fan so I'm sure I'll love the story.  

5. Across the Universe (Across the Universe #1)by Beth Revis: Seventeen-year-old Amy never could have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.

I'm going to be completely honest and say that this book scares me a bit. I don't read much science fiction therefore it is out for my reading comfort zone. Although, I do love the cover and find the story to be very captivating.

I hope you guys in enjoyed this library haul; I am not sure if I will get to read all of the books I checked out but I will be doing review on the ones I read.

I am so glad I am not the only one who visits libraries! I feel like so much of the vlogging/blogging book community is about hauls and purchases and shelves sometimes (I know this was a very talked about "issue" at one point).
Great book choices, can't wait to hear what you think about them.

I am a book blogger myself and I want to challenge the bookish community (bloggers specifically) in 2017 to connect more. I found your blog @ https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1443538-your-blog
and have been going down the list reading one or two articles from each blog and commenting (when it lets me do so without having to sign up and get emails) I am hoping to pass this challenge on to you as well. Find one other book blogger and leave a comment :)

Thanks
