After receiving a large amount of Barnes & Noble gift cards, I went on a legit book shopping spree. I went crazy and started lashing out at my parents to wait for me as I took 3 whole hours to choose out all these good books. I didn't waste all of it because if you didn't know I was saving some for the giveaway I posted.

HOLY CRAP THE INSURGENT COLLECTOR'S EDITION!!! *SCREAMS IN EXCITEMENT*
What did you buy with your Christmas money? Got some new books to share? Just leave a link to your STS down below in the comments section. I would love to check it back and comment something!
I wasn't a fan of Girl Online, it seemed too ordinary. I cant wait to read your review though :)

Yeah I only purchased it because I was curious to read it from a Youtuber. I mean, I just wanted to read about all the hype.
DeleteOut of these, I've only read Mortal Danger and Insurgent. I'm kind of curious about The Raven Boys, though. I can't wait to see what you think of the three books.
ReplyDeleteI kind of wanted to read Girl Online, but now with all the backlash and the fact that she used a ghostwriter, I don't feel like reading it. I feel like people deserve to be credited for what they do.
Here's my Stacking the Shelves.
I read Insurgent too LOL and it was amazing so I needed to purchase the collector's edition with the poster and the faction tattoos. I can't wait to read the Raven Boys. Katytastic from Youtube says it's one of her favorite series,and I love reading what she reads. Also I'm pretty sure The Raven Boys is a quartet, but I'm not sure when the last book is coming out.
DeleteI felt the same way about Girl Online, but I wanted to just for myself. I've been watching Zoella for some time now, and so I wanted to see if I could distinguish between her and the ghostwriter, if that makes any sense.
I can really see why you would begin to get snappy at your parents while buying books, I always take ages to decide what I want to get. Thankfully, when I went on my vinyl and book shopping trip (wow, being a guy I actually never thought I would use that phrase in a positive context) I was on my own so I had plenty of time for my extreme indecision as to what books/records I would buy. Another problem I face when buying books is that in Dublin there are loads of great bookshops and record stores right beside each other so I always have to go into all of them before I make a final decision.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about giving The Raven Boys a go for a while. It doesn't look like something I would normally read but I think the library has a copy so I might try it out. I'll certainly be looking forward to see what you have to say about it!
Dublin sounds quite amazing.... bookshops and record stores. I can't wait to read The Raven Boys either. it's been on my TBR list for forever because of how highly the Booktubers talk about it!
DeleteSome great books, I've been wanting to read These Broken Stars, Hexed and Mortal Danger for a while now so I can't wait to hear what you think :) I got the Divergent collector's edition for christmas! Here's my haul: http://enchantedbyya.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/christmas-book-haul.html
ReplyDeleteOMG U got the Divergent Collector's Edition 0.0
DeleteI've been wanting to read These Broken Stars as well.... so so so so much! Thanks for the link to your haul!
So many great books! I've heard a lot of positive things about Popular. I'm planning to read it, since it's a guide from another teen's point of view. Actually, I heard that she tried sitting at a different lunch table every day. So, for the first few months of school, I rotated tables every day, and now I try to rotate tables weekly/bi-weekly. I think it'll be interesting to see what she does and the impact. AND CONGRATS ON THE INSURGENT COLLECTOR'S COPY! It's a great book, and I think have a Collector's Copy will enhance the *aawwweessooommmee* factor even more. I have yet to spend my Christmas money, but I received Throne of Glass (which I LOVED), Fire with Fire, and Waistcoats and Weaponry among other titles. Enjoy your reads!:)
