Book Haul #1

I normally don't do book hauls for a few reasons. One, I never buy enough books at once for it to be a "haul." Two, they're not my favorite thing in the world. Why are you doing one then, you may be thinking. Well, I've been wanting to read these books for a while and I'm quite proud of them (it's my first online order :)). I'll put their quality and a Goodreads link. They are in no particular order and we're all under four dollars. So without further ado let's get into it.

1. Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris

This seems to have been on my TBR for the longest time. Hopefully all the waiting will have been worth it! It's a Very Good and is an ex-library hardback. Sometimes waiting pays off because originally I was going to pay $9.99.

2. Sneak by Evan Angler
I read the first book, Swipe, forever ago. Every time I went to a bookstore they have all the other books in the series except this one. Pretty frustrating. Thankfully, I finally got a Good paperback.

3. Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergen


Time traveling back into medieval Italy? Yes please! Sounds like their summer did get a lot more interesting. The quality is Good and it is also an ex-library paperback.

4. Mark of the Thief  by Jennifer A. Nielsen
Here is another Italian based book except this time it takes place in ancient Rome. And there's magic. It's a Good quality paperback.

5. Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglen

This was another book that's been on my TBR for a while. There's spies, a family secret, action. Sounds like something I would like. If you like stories where the protagonist is being pursued by somewhat crazy people (Magnus Chase, I'm looking at you), then you might like it. It's a Like New hardback copy.

This concludes my first book haul!I've officially added five more books to my pile to read this year. Some of those library books might need to wait a while now.

This post was in no way sponsored by Thrift Books. I'm just really pleased with their service and would encourage you to at least check out their site. I plan on buying a lot more books from them in the future.

Wordy Wednesday (#6)

Image
Wordy Wednesday is a meme that focuses on expanding vocabulary for aspiring writers or even finding out new words. All that is required is coming up with a word and its definition! My word for this week is opprobrium. Opprobrium - something that brings disgrace                        contempt or reproach (Merriam-Webster) Let's take the quote I used from Mulan in one of my previous memes and replace the word dishonor. Opprobrium on you! Opprobrium on your cow! This will forever be one of the best quotes. If you participate make sure to leave a link down below so I can check your post out.

The Sword of Summer Review

Image
The Sword of Summer  is the first book in the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series, written by Rick Riordan. The genre is mythology. "Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . ."~ Goodreads As

Harry Potter Book Tag

Today I'm going to be doing the Harry Potter Book Tag. I love the series and this tag is amazing. The spell images were created by Beatrice over at Dreamland Book Blog . Without further ado, let's get started. I would personally like to rewrite the ending to Uncle Tom's Cabin . It's not my favorite book, though some of Stowe's arguments were interesting. But I didn't like how one of the events happened at the end; it seemed unrealistic. So many. Percy Jackson for  starters. However, the prize for this one is going to Maze of Bones . I was initially against reading the series, but then I read the first book. From then on I flew threw the first two series and read several of the other books as well. Happy memories. From: Percy Jackson: Camp Half-Blood Confidential. It's out already, but I really would like to have it so I can read it. (Hopefully there's some jokes.) I'm going to use the word killer in the sense it means awesome.
