I realize I may be a bit late with this haul, but I've been sick and just plain lazy. The following books were technically presents received from my husband, though I picked them out, wrapped them and placed them under our sad tree this year.
It still counts and I am so, so excited about each and every one!
The first six I picked up from Half Price Books...an AMAZING bookstore that lets no book feel unwanted.
In no particular order:
I thought I already had this one, but it turns out...nope.
These two just look SO amazing. I love any kind of mythology, and these caught my eye with a fishhook.
I enjoyed Moore's
Lamb so much, I just had to pick up another of his works. I'm not even interested in what it's about, this author is so clever and way too funny.
And again.
The sequel to
The False Prince. The first was an excellent read and I highly recommend it.
The rest of these were purchased from Barnes & Noble
The Giver left off with such a crazy cliffhanger, I can't believe I waited this long before picking up this sucker. I'm not much of a dystopian-world fan, but this one was exceptional.
Such a wonderful trilogy (I think there will be only three).
Elemental magic, defend the realm, kick-ass female protagonist...sign me up this instant.
I don't even need to read the first to know imma love it!
The synopsis for this reminded me a bit of Diana Wynne Jones'
Chrestomanci Chronicles (or, at least,
The Lives of Christopher Chant) and I loves me some Diana Wynne Jones
...And the second
And then there was this series! This series...
This series. Why did I wait so long to read the first, and why am I not starting the others this very second? I have no answer for the first, but as to the second (of my own questions) I can only say I don't want this story to come to an end.
You must start reading this immediately if you haven't already.
Go! Now! What are you waiting for?
So, there you have it, my Christmas Book Haul. Let me know what you're reading, what your picked up recently.
