This is the second to last big book haul for a while, and this time they're from Thriftbooks and Alibris books. I've stepped a bit out of my comfort zone with a few of these, my curiosity piqued by the book blogging community.
I was pleasantly shocked to find two books I'd been looking for at the local library; this area is dirt poor and the library is old and poorly stocked. Curious to see how these goes!
I've been listening to bits of different audiobooks on YouTube (there's a surprisingly large selection!), and I'm doing a free trial with Audible.com. Right now I'm listening to Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning on YouTube, to feel out the experience with a book I already know I love. Please tell me I'm not the only one that finds listening to a sex scene incredibly awkward. ;)
I'm not sold on audiobooks yet; I'm one of those people that's bothered by voices. It would be nice to get some "reading" in on my morning runs though, so hopefully I can find some people I like.
Without further ado, here's the haul!

Here are the two I found at the library! While neither of these are what I'd pick up of my own accord, I've heard buzz about the Abbi Glines book, and I've never read Rainbow Rowell. We'll see.

| Until Friday Night by Abbi Glnes Attachement by Rainbow Rowell |

The Bronze Horseman! I just reviewed that. ;) In my opinion, Attachment is not a good book to start if you want to discover Rainbow Rowell's brilliant writing. I say start with Fangirl for YA or Landline for Adult. I didn't really like this one as much. But hey, maybe you'll fare better than I did. :) Happy reading, hun! Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa lots of good looking books in that bunch :D Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI need to read a Rainbow book too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul. What you have there I can see are some great reads or others that I want to read. Sweet!
Oh my what a haul. Attachments is my fav Rainbow Rowell book so I hope you enjoy it!! I had no idea that YouTube has audiobooks! I love listening but will agree about the sex scenes!!
ReplyDeleteTucker and Clayton are such good authors...enjoy your lovely haul!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic haul!! I'm most excited to see Gabriel's Inferno!! My favorite series. I hope you enjoy the professor. I adored Attachments. There's not one book by Rainbow Rowell that I didn't like. I have wanted to try The Bronze Horseman forever. Enjoy!!
