Library Haul: 07/24/15

It’s been a long time since I posted, and I apologize. I’ve been really busy these last few months and to be totally honest, I didn’t see a point in posting. Sometimes, it feels like my posts aren’t being seen at all so it felt like a waste of time for me, 

I am back, however, from my temporary hiatus with a new book-related post! I went to the library on Friday afternoon in desperate need of a new book (or six) to read. I found several books that had been on my TBR list for quite a while but I had not been able to find them anywhere and didn’t feel like spending they money on them at the time. 

So, without further ado, here is my July library book haul: 

(Library haul stack) 

Mortal Heart (His Fair Assassin Book 3) by Robin LaFevers, is the book open on the top. As you can see, I’m already half-way through that one. 

The Falconer by Elizabeth May is right below it. I have a cousin-in-law with the same name, but it’s definitely not her. This one’s been on my TBR list for a few months now, since I first heard about it. 

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey is wildly popular, and is being made into a movie, I believe. I wanted to read the book before that happened, but hopefully it’s as good as people say. There must be something good about it if people are gushing so much, but I often find that I don’t like the books that are so crazy popular. 

Dissonance by Erica O’Rourke has also been on my TBR list since I first heard about it on Goodreads. It’s Sci-Fi-ish, which is not my cup of tea, but I’m interested in seeing what it’s about because it’s supposed to be “unique”. Last summer I read Elusion, which was supposed to be unique and great and I ended up hating it, so I’m hoping it’s not another one of those. 

Waterfall (Teardrop, Book 2) by Lauren Kate. Don’t let the authors past novels fool you into thinking this book sucks. Kate’s writing has much improved, though it still needs maturing a bit. Still, Waterfall is a sequel and while Teardrop was interesting, I’m hoping Kate is able to keep me interested with the second book.

Elegy (Watersong, Book 4) by Amanda Hocking. This is the final book of the Watersong series, and I’ve held off reading this for fear that it will disappoint me. I feel Amanda’s writing is often too rushed, but I hope she doesn’t rush the end of this series. The Watersong series has been really unique and interesting, and is a great summer read for those looking for an interesting and still sweet book to read at the beach. 

So, there you have it! My July library book haul! :)
