The Book Forums

I was doing well about not buying any new books and focusing on the ones on my bookshelf, but then I went to the bookstore... SO HERE’S MY  FEBRUARY  BOOK HAUL! After hearing nothing but amazing things about this book, I finally caved and bought it. I loved the movie so I have high expectations and think I will love it! I was planning on putting this one off until later but a certain person’s review on Instagram just made me pick it up. Victoria Schwab is my favorite author and I have loved all of her novels so I have high expectations for A Gathering of Shadows . Grant Goodman contacted me about reading this for a review and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity (Ninjas and Special Agents— I mean come on!). But I also feel that I don’t read many middle grade novels anymore so this will be fun to branch out of my usual genre of YA. Have you read any of the books mentioned above? What did you think of them? Keep Reading… Meagan!

Since I had been posting updates for Bout of Books all last week I never actually got a chance to post a book haul from after Christmas, so her goes nothing! Are you tired of me talking about this book yet? Well sorry… I bought it while I was strolling through Barnes and Noble after Christmas. The cover caught my eye because it had the abandoned New York City Hall subway station on it— after that I couldn’t help but buy the book. Most of you probably know that I’ve already read Lair of Dreams now and there will be a review coming soon! I have been looking forward to this book since it was originally announced! I have been a fan of Alexandra Bracken’s novels since The Darkest Minds series so I have high expectations for Passenger . What I’ve read of it as of now is really good so I am excited to continue reading and see where the story goes. Plus… DO YOU SEE THAT COVER? IT’S GORGEOUS! Yes, I bought the new covers of The Infernal Devices ! I actually had only owned...

Since I just finished a read-a-thon and just got a book in the mail I figured it's about time for a reading update! So at the moment I'm reading Les Mis  by Victor Hugo! I'm about 150 pages in and I'm really enjoying it so far! I'm excited to get to characters that I recognize from the play and I can't wait to read more! This is doubling as a book haul now because I recently got Scarlet by Marissa Meyer in the mail! This is the sequel to Cinder (which I liked) and I'm excited to read it! The cover is GORGEOUS! And I can't wait to start reading it! Have you read either of the books mentioned above? What did you think of them? Keep Reading... Meagan!

Hello! So lately I’ve been doing pretty well with not buying too many books but I kind of broke that record when I went to a small bookstore near my house today… But that’s good for y’all because now I can do a BOOK HAUL! I really enjoyed Libba Bray’s book The Diviners that I read a while back so when I saw this book for cheap I had to pick it up! I’m excited to read more of Libba Bray’s work; I think I’ll enjoy it! I read my first Caroline B Cooney book back in middle school when I read Flight 116 is Down . Ever since then I have wanted to read more of her books so when I was walking through my local bookstore and found a bunch of used Caroline B Cooney books for cheap, I had to buy one. I originally started reading this book last year but I had to stop since it was a library book, but now that I will be going to Book Con I want to finish Cinder so that I can get it signed. I have already started rereading/ finishing this one, and I can already tell I am going to l...

Hey guys it’s Meagan and today I’m here with a book haul!!! This past Tuesday two books came out that I’ve been waiting for all year! One is written by my favorite author at the moment and the other is a sequel to a great book that I read last year. The two books that I’m talking about are A Darker Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab and Salt and Stone by Victoria Scott. A Darker Shade of Magic After reading Vicious I think it’s safe to say that Victoria Schwab is my favorite author. She always has amazing books full of well thought out characters and interesting plots. That is why I’ve been looking forward to this book since I first heard about it. It finally came in the mail today, so I’m excited to get started reading it! Salt and Stone For anyone who doesn’t know, this is the sequel to Fire and Flood , a book that I read and enjoyed last spring. So I’ve been looking forward to this book ever since I finished the first book. I’m excited to see how the story picks u...

Hey guys it’s Meagan and today I’m here with a quick November/ December book haul! This isn’t my book; I’m barrowing it because some internet friends and I are doing a traveling book sorta thing and right now the book is with me. I’m about to start reading this soon! One of my most anticipated books of 2014 that I bought as soon as it came out and read it really quickly! I got this at the Louisiana Book Festival. It had been on my radar for a while now and the author was at the festival so I figured, why not, and I bought it and got it signed! I just haven’t gotten the chance to read it yet. This is another book that’s been on my radar for a while now and I just now got the chance to buy it. I’m currently reading and enjoying it! This was one of my most anticipated books of 2014 so I bought it as soon as it came out! I read it really quickly and I loved it! Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Comment and let me know!...

Hello guys! So my birthday recently passed and I got some bookish and blogging related things so I thought I’d do a haul for y’all to see!   So, first, I got a signed copy of  Side Effects May Vary  by Julie Murphy. I haven’t read this book yet but I have seen it and heard good things about it. So, I’m excited to read it! Next, I got a copy of  The Infinite Sea  by Rick Yancy! This is what I’m currently reading right now and I’m liking it so far! I’m excited to finish it. Last, and the blog related thing I got, was a camera! I had been saving up all summer and I finally got enough money to buy a good camera! I’m really excited because now I can use it to take nice pictures for y’all! And, once I got the camera, I took a bunch of pictures with it that I wanted to show y’all. You can see those down below… :) Have you read the books mentioned in this post? What did you think? Comment below and tell me and we can discuss!
