Book Haul: January 2015

I didn't buy lot of books last month. Only 6 books. Three English Young Adult and three Malay books. I'm not really a frequent buyer of Malay books but I was at the book fair and there was some promotion, so I bought 3 books from Fixi booth. 

Here are the books that I bought;

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

~ I always want to read this book. I heard so many good things about this book. So when I saw this at my local bookstore, I grab it immediately. I'm planning to read the book this month. 

Anatomy of a Misfit by Andrea Porter

~ The main reason I bought this book is the cover. I know.... Never judge a book by its cover but I just can't help it. The cover looks great and I consider myself as a misfit. I read this book already. Only took me less than 24 hours so it's a great book. Lucky me. 

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

~ I have the e-book version of this novel and I read it already. And I really love it so I want a physical copy as a collection. So I got it. And I still can't find Isla on my local bookstore. Unbelievable.

Asrama (Hostel) by Muhammad Fatrim

~ One of the Malay books that I bought. It's a horror story. The setting is a hostel at the boarding school. Something like that. I heard lot of good things about this book. I can't wait to read it but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to read it at night. 

Seronok (Fun) by Saat Omar

~ The cover is really interesting. It's about a private investigator who was hired by a woman to spy on her husband. But he was shocked to find out that the woman's husband was his former lover. Sounds scandalous to me. I'm going to read it soon. 

Perjalanan (Journey) by Regina Ibrahim

~ I think I never read a book about a transgender before. So I'm going to read this. I'm not sure what to expect but the synopsis sounds like it is a fun book. 

That's all the books that I bought last month. Next month, I already have some books in my list. I'm very excited for the second book in the The Bone Season series. 

Book Haul: November 2014 & Big Bad Wolf 2014

A little bit late for this post. Some stupid laptop problem and I also wait for the Big Bad Wolf book sale before I publish this post. I saved money for the Big Bad Wolf and totally avoid myself from my local bookstore. Well it worked because except for the few magazines, I managed to save some money for the book sale. 

Big Bad Wolf book sale is one of them most wicked book sale ever. The discounts were ridiculously cheap. 75 - 90 % cheaper from the original price. Yeah, I went crazy for a while during my trip to the MIECC. 

Here are the books that I bought;

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

~ I can't believe I saw this book. I planned to buy this but I never expected to see it in the book sale because it's a quite famous book. I only saw a copy so I grabbed it instantly. It was sold at RM 8 (Around 2.25 US Dollar). 

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

~ I have the digital version of this book (along with Anna & Isla) but I still don't have a physical copy. I was lucky to find this book, also for RM 8 (2.25 US Dollar). However I couldn't find Anna and Isla but I do plan to buy the physical copy soon. 

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

~ I'm currently reading book four so when I finish it, I can continue with this one. The price is very cheap. The price was RM 5 (1.43 US Dollar) for a hard cover. I was like really? What a great purchase for me!!!

Husband by Brad Bell & Jane Espenson

~ A graphic novel. I watched the web series. And I really like it. I bought this for like RM10. Totally cheap for a graphic novel. The graphic looks great. I believe there are several short stories in this graphic novel. 

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl & Cassandra Jean

~ I love the Beautiful Creatures but I still don't read the second book in this series. Don't know why because I really like the first book. Guess too busy and I just forgot about this series. Maybe this graphic novel will reminds me and open my heart to read the second book?

That's all the book I got from the book sale. A little bit upset because some of the books that I planned to buy, I just can't find it. Like The Kite Runner, Gone Girl, Attachments. I saw it in the other people's basket but I just couldn't find it. 

Well I plan for another visit this weekend. Hopefully, I will be lucky enough for my second visit. 

Book Haul: October 2014

Hello Everyone!!!

I read lot of books on October and I'm really proud with myself. I cut my internet hours and spent more time on reading. I finished 10 books which is freakin' crazy for someone like me. 

As for the new books this month, I bought several books. And I already read some of them (How productive I am this month!). Here are the books that I bought in October;

The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern

~ I really like P.S. I Love You but her books that I read so far were quite depressing. I still didn't finish The Place Called Here because of that. But the synopsis of her 2009 release sounds promising. 

If I Stay by Gayle Forman

~ I bought the movie tie-in edition. I still didn't watched the movie version but the trailer looked so good. I'm going to read the book first then I'll watch the movie. 

I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

~ Many reviewers stated that this book is one of the best books in 2014. So I'm looking forward to read this. I'm not sure what the book is all about but I heard it's a story between twins. 

Summer And The City by Candace Bushnell

~ I read the first book and I really like the tv show. Too bad it was cancelled already. When I saw this book at my local bookstore with 90% off for the hard cover, I grab it instantly. Not sure when I'm going to read this yet because I still have lot of books to catch up with. 

Te@mare: Volume 2 by Ben

~ This one is a graphic novel. I read the first volume earlier and I really love the story so much. It's a contemporary graphic novel. The artworks are so beautiful. Huge fan or the author.

Book Haul: September 2014

Hello Everyone!!!

September was such a busy month for me but I still managed to buy some books. I didn't buy lot of books because I still have a lot of books in the shelf, who's patiently waiting to be read by me. 

Here are some of the books that I bought this month;

The School for Good and Evil: A World Without Princes by Soman Chainani

~ I just finished the first book and I really love it. This is the second book in this series. It's very hard to find this book here but I finally found it. The cover design is so beautiful. 

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz

~ Another tough one to find here but I managed to grab the last copy at the bookstore. I read this one already and I can't wait to do my review for this amazing book. 

Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger

~ I love the first book and it took almost 10 years for the author to come back with the second book. I heard lot of negative things about this book but I still bought it because there was a sale and the price for the hard cover edition was ridiculously cheap. So I had to buy it and judge the book myself. 

Full Circle by Riley Hart

~ Judging from the cover, I guess you guys know what kind of book this is. Yes, it's a love story between three men. But Riley Hart is such an amazing author. I read all of her three books before and this one is the second book in her Broken Pieces series.

Landline by Rainbow Rowell

~ She's my favorite author right now. I'm currently reading Fangirl right now. After that, I will start to read this one. This is her fourth novel after Attachments, Eleanor & Park and Fangirl.
