BOOK HAUL: NEW RELEASES

I know you were expecting a WoW today, but guys do you know what yesterday was?! THE BEST DAY EVER! Yesterday was a great book release day and I went ham on those babies, but first let me tell you how the day started. I was so excited to get the books I wanted so I drove straight to my local bookstore. I was looking around and couldn't find ANY of the books. I just thought they hadent put them out yet. So I go upfront to ask and this is what they say "Ohhhh we didn't order any of those...."

I think I just stood there for a few minutes not comprehending what he said. I was dumbfounded. How on earth do you have a bookstore and not keep up with the MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF THE YEAR?! As a bookstore owner it is your job to keep up with things like this.
ANYWAYS so we drove over an hour to the nearest bookstore and got them there instead. It was so worth the drive!
Yup you bet your sweet cakes I got this sucker! I have already started it and IT'S SO GOOD! I love Angelini's writing. Just the right amount of witty, romance, action, and drama!
 
I don't know who was more excited to get this bad boy, myself or my husband. When we got to the store they didn't have the book on the floor yet. They told him it was till in the box, he replied "Okay I'll wait right here so you can find me after you get the box." In that moment I knew I had found my soul mate. We are the sweetest people you will ever meet, but don't mess with our books. Thankfully the woman that helped us understood our love for books! This sucker is HUGE it has 565 pages! Cant wait to see what all happens! EEEEEK
Can we just take a second and look at how absolutely gorgeous this cover is?!! This is for sure in the top 5 of the most beautiful covers I have ever seen! Destined for Doon is the sequel to Doon. I LOVED Doon! (Review to come.) I cannot wait to cross the bridge again and enter the beautiful magical world of Doon.
I know this book came out awhile ago, but I saw it right before we checked out and had to have it. I have heard great things about this book, but wanted to wait till the hype went down a little before getting it. Hopefully I will enjoy it =)
 
Did you guys get any of these books on their release date? Let me know what books you have bought so far this week, and if you have read any of the books I hauled. Hope ya'll are having a fantastic day!

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that could easil

Review: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

Title: Becoming Alpha  Author: Aileen Erin  Genre: Paranormal Fantasy  Pages: 267 Goodreads Overall Rating: 4.11 Published:  December 17th, 2013 by Ink Monster, LLC   My Rating:  I can’t do that. I can’t turn my emotions off and on like that. I’m either all in or all out. And if you can’t do that—if I don’t come first, then for God’s sake, leave me alone. Becoming Alpha is the true definition of YA paranormal fantasy and I devoured it. Erin took troupes that are known in YA and ran with them in fun, plausible, and exciting ways while taking her own spin on them. I sped through this book and right after I downloaded the next book in the series because I couldn't wait for the two-day shipping of the physical book.  At the beginning of the book, we meet our main character Tessa and her family. Tessa has an unusual gift and it has marked her as the odd girl out at and causing her to feel isolated. With her family wanting to give her a sense o
