Birthday Book Haul!

29 September 4 Comments
Hi everyone! As you probably saw on Twitter and Instagram, I had a huge book haul with all my gift cards for BookOutlet and Chapters! I ended up spending over what I had in gift cards, but I'm chill with it. I'm going to give all y'all a breakdown of the books I bought and include some snazzy pictures. I also get to cross off some of the books that were on my TTT on September 15th about the books I want for my birthday, which is nice.

I'm going to include the instagram pictures I posted so you can have some visuals. You should know I dropped over $100 in just over two hours. But it was so worth it. I have so many good books now that I cannot wait to start reading.

Purchased from BookOutlet

Top Ten Tuesday (7): Top Ten Books I Want For My Birthday!

15 September 4 Comments
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at The Broke and the Bookish. They'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and LOVE to see other top ten lists!
It's a freebie week and since it is my birthday on Thursday, I went with the TOP TEN BOOKS I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY. Which is actually pretty selfish of me. Remember, TOMORROW my birthday giveaways end so make sure you enter all four of them (or three if you don't live in Canada). And now, onward to the books I want.

1. Ice Kissed and Crystal Kingdom by Amanda Hocking.
SummaryIn the majestic halls of a crystal palace lies a secret that could destroy an entire kingdom…

Bryn Aven refuses to give up on her dream of serving the kingdom she loves. It’s a dream that brings her to a whole new realm…and the glittering palace of the Skojare.

The Skojare people need protection from the same brutal enemy that’s been threatening the Kanin, and Bryn is there to help. Being half Skojare herself, it’s also a chance for her to learn more about her lost heritage. Her boss, Ridley Dresden, is overseeing her mission, but as their undeniable attraction heats up, their relationship is about to reach a whole new level—one neither of them is prepared for.

As they delve deeper into the Skojare world, they begin to unravel a long-hidden secret. The dark truth about her own beloved Kanin kingdom is about to come to light, and it will change her place in it forever…and threaten everyone she loves.

2. Tokyo Ghoul Volume 1 & Volume 2 by Sui Ishida.




Summary
Shy Ken Kaneki is thrilled to go on a date with the beautiful Rize. But it turns out that she’s only interested in his body—eating it, that is. When a morally questionable rescue transforms him into the first half-human half-Ghoul hybrid, Ken is drawn into the dark and violent world of Ghouls, which exists alongside our own.

Birthday Giveaway!

15 August 4 Comments

Soon it will officially be the time of fall, sweaters, and pumpkin spice lattes... Oh, and my birthday! I turn 23 this year and so I'm having a couple fun giveaways that start now and end the day before my birthday so you will have a month to enter each of them! From now until September 16th, you can enter my FOUR giveaways for an assortment of bookish things. On the 17th, aka the day I turn 23, I will be announcing the winners!

These are ALL twitter giveaways and I am embedding the tweets in this post so you will have easy access to them. There are four giveaways and the only rule is if you win ONE of them, you cannot win any other. (i.e. if you enter all of them and I pick your name for the first giveaway, you win that prize. If I pick your name in the second giveaway, I will redraw.) 

Three of them will be INTERNATIONAL because I want my love to circle the globe y'all. But I do gotta show love for Canada so one is specifically for Canadians only.
