Hi Guys,
So Today, I went a LITTLE overboard with the pictures...
I really really wanted you guys to feel like you were part of my online book-buying experience (even though most of you probably couldn't care less). And no, I didn't take screenshots of my actual PURCHASE of these three books...
Although that's actually a pretty sweet idea...
Anyway, so for some reason, even though I ordered all three at the exact same time, the first book I ordered took a day longer than the other two to arrive, which was sad, but it meant I got two packages so...that's a win?
I took pictures of the boxes guys...

| Here's the first box! Ohhh the suspense! |
 |
| It's open guys...not much longer until you see what I bought! |
 |
| And the First Book is...The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey! |
I'm super excited about this one! I've been hearing nothing but good things about it ever since it came out. And it's on my goodreads recommendations shelves, so that's a plus. And the premise is really cool; Alien Invasion, not something you see a lot in YA lit this days.

| Number 2 is Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo |
This one is also on my goodreads recommendations shelves, and has been for a while. Another really interesting premise. From what I can glean from goodreads and the back cover, Shadow and Bone is a fantasy novel set in Dystopian Russia. Another really interesting and innovative plot! Add to that the fact that on Amazon, this was $7.20 for a HARDCOVER and I was SOOOOOO sold on this book...

| Here's package number two! |
 |
| Princess Ben, by Catherine Gilbert Murdock |
So I recently read
Wisdom's Kiss by the same author. I really liked that one. I thought it was really cool...and then I found out that it was a sequel of sorts to this book. New on Amazon, I paid $3.78 for the paperback, so I HAD to buy it. I just had to...

I am exploding with giddiness over these books! Can't wait to start reading!!!!!

| This picture describes my feelings PERFECTLY! |
On another note; I read Neil Gaiman's newest kids' book today while at Barnes and Noble.
Fortunately, the Milk is so adorable I wanted to burst! It was a kids' book, but had really funny references, and strikes me as a book enjoyable for all ages. And there were plastic LAWN FLAMINGOS!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! For the record, I never, ever say OMG if I can help it, but this book deserved such a fangirly moment...really really good!
Thanks for suffering through yet another of my pointless posts about books!
Charlotte :)
