So... My book order arrived!!! :D I had to go like two whole days without any new books to read, guys. It was a hard withdrawal. (#bookaddictlife) But now I have a bunch of new books to read! Okay, maybe not a bunch, but a few ;). And this is my first book haul (can you even make those on a blog? is it a different name? I WOULD make a video but a. not a lot of people watch it b. as an (aspiring) writer I work better behind a key board than a camera)
My first book to share with you is one that I already read on my kindle while I was in Europe but didn't have the physical copy of
Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. So I've decided not to buy the whole series at one because that would be expensive by itself, so I'm buying them like one book at a time in my other book orders :)

So if you didn't know (gasp) Bloodlines is the first book to the sequel series to Vampire Academy. I would say it's not as good as VA but still pretty enjoyable... after book 2. So if you've read VA and not Bloodlines, you should really read Bloodlines, here's the synopsis
Blood doesn't lie...
Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning...
My next book is called Sacrifice by Brigid Kemmerer. I read the first four books back in.. June? And if you remember I wasn't especially impressed by the series, but I enjoyed it. Yeah, I know, Sacrifice has been out for a while but honestly since I wasn't particularly looking forward to it I totally forgot about that book until recently. So I will be reading Sacrifice and posting a review on it in the next couple weeks and if you want to see my thoughts on it keep checking in ;) here's the synopsis for it:
Earth. Fire. Air. Water.
One misstep and they lose it all. For the last time.
Michael Merrick understands pressure. He's the only parent his three brothers have had for years. His power to control Earth could kill someone if he miscalculates. Now an Elemental Guide has it in for his family, and he's all that stands in the way.
His girlfriend, Hannah, understands pressure too. She's got a child of her own, and a job as a firefighter that could put her life in danger at any moment.
But there are people who have had enough of Michael's defiance, his family's 'bad luck'. Before he knows it, Michael's enemies have turned into the Merricks' enemies, and they're armed for war.
They're not interested in surrender. But Michael isn't the white flag type anyway. Everything is set for the final showdown.
Four elements, one family. Will they hold together, or be torn apart?

His face in the picture makes me think of a rabbit for some reason *giggles for some random reason*
Book number three I'm showing you (kinda of, you know through pixels) is The Distance Between Us by Kasie West. So if you keep up with my blog you'd know that I just read On the Fence and absolutely loved it, so I decided to buy some of Kasie West's other books, and this is the one I'm looking forward to reading the most from the two. Seriously, I'm going to need some good book mourning period books because next week is October 7. I loved the characters, relationships and narrative in On The Fence so I'm defiantly looking forward to The Distance Between us, here's the synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she’s pretty sure they’re only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother’s shop.
So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he’s one of the first people who actually gets her, she’s smart enough to know his interest won’t last. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned from her mother’s warnings, it’s that the rich have a short attention span. But Xander keeps coming around, despite her best efforts to scare him off. And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company.
She knows her mom can’t find out—she wouldn’t approve. She’d much rather Caymen hang out with the local rocker who hasn’t been raised by money. But just when Xander’s attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn’t a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she’d ever realized. And that Xander’s not the only one she should’ve been worried about.
Ah, contemporary romances, what would the world do without them?

This next book is also by Kasie West and it's called Pivot Point, I'm a little confused about what this book is about and what category it would go into, but I know it'll probably have a great romance in it and from the sound of the synopsis, a love triangle (which you guys know I love).
synopsis:
Knowing the outcome doesn’t always make a choice easier . . .
Addison Coleman’s life is one big “What if?” As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It’s the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie’s parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the “Norms,” or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it’s not.
In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback’s girlfriend. When Addie’s father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she’s unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she’s willing to live through . . . and who she can’t live without.

Since I was kind of on contemporaries anyway, the other contemporary I got in the book shipment is... Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg. I'm pretty excited to read this book too, it's about two best friends who decide to date... or something. Anyway, I love the concept (see how lonely I am? Single but reading about fictional characters getting together! (And most of the time killing a bunch of people, too) haha....) Let's just get to the synopsis shall we?
For Macallan and Levi, it was friends at first sight. Everyone says guys and girls can’t be just friends, but these two are. They hang out after school, share tons of inside jokes, their families are super close, and Levi even starts dating one of Macallan’s friends. They are platonic and happy that way.
Eventually they realize they’re best friends — which wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t keep getting in each other’s way. Guys won’t ask Macallan out because they think she’s with Levi, and Levi spends too much time joking around with Macallan, and maybe not enough time with his date. They can’t help but wonder . . . are they more than friends or are they better off without making it even more complicated?
From romantic comedy superstar Elizabeth Eulberg comes a fresh, fun examination of a question for the ages: Can guys and girls ever really be just friends? Or are they always one fight away from not speaking again — and one kiss away from true love?
Oh my gods, the name Levi, I'm always tempted to call people Le-vi when I read the name instead of Lee-vi, yeah, I'm that stupid, lol. Another great thing about blogging instead of vlogging- I don't have to have the pronunciations right, if I don't you guys will never know, bwahahaha.

So if you didn't know, which you probably did from references in my reviews, but I watch book tubers. A lot. My favorite book tubers to watch (in order) are Christine (Xtinemay/Polandbananasbooks) Kat (Katytastic) and Sasha (abookutopia) I also enjoy watch other book tubers but these are the ones that are my favorites and that I'm subscribed to. You may be wondering what the point of me telling you my favorite book tubers is, well, Sasha, as some of you may know, is obsessed with Sci-Fi books (and Scotland but whatever) so I've taken some of her sic fi recommendations (aka one, Across The Universe) Yeah, I wasn't crazy about that book but I enjoyed it, so I'm willing to try another one of her sci fi recommendations which is Alienated by Melissa Landers. From what I know, this book is about like an alien exchange program, the concept is so different from anything I've heard of, so I'm interested in how the story goes :)
synopsis:
Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.
Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.
Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.
But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.
Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.

Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi.
When I read the description for this book when Goodreads recommended it to me I dismissed it. But one early morning (when I'm usually asleep, at school, or doing things in tired boredom) I was watching book trailers on YouTube and the romance in this book actually poked pretty interesting to me, so I've decided to give this story a shot.
WORLDS KEPT THEM APART.
DESTINY BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER.
Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim.
Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive.
If they can survive, they are each other's best hope for finding answers.
Okay, I have three books left.
Shades of Earth is the last book (kinda) that I have at the moment, it's by Beth Revis and is the last in the Across the Universe Trilogy. Like I said before, I wasn't particularly impressed by Across The Universe or A Million Stars but I don't usually like to stop a series in the middle of reading it and A Million Stars was JUST interesting enough that I bought the last book, though I would be okay without knowing what happened to Amy and Elder, I kinda also just wanted to finish my collection of the series even though the Shades of Earth cover is so much more ugly than the first two books and doesn't match at all.
Synopsis:
Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceshipGodspeed behind. They're ready to start life afresh--to build a home--on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience.
But this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.
Amy and Elder must race to discover who--or what--else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed--friends, family, life on Earth--will have been for nothing.
FUELED BY LIES.
RULED BY CHAOS.
ALMOST HOME.
Seriously, the cover is hideous, especially compared to the other two.

Okay, so my last two books I do not possess at the moment but I have preordered, and those books are.... (drum roll) The Young Elites by Marie Lu and Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan. If you remember from my very brief review, I was IN LOVE with the Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu back in.. February? So I definitely have high expectations. Marie's writing style is so much fun, her action scenes are spot on, and her characters are hard not to fall in love with. And incase any of you were wondering, out of the two of them? I think June is champion. Then there's Blood of Olympus. I have three main childhood book series, Harry Potter (Obviously) Eragon, and Percy Jackson (and Lord of the Rings... kinda). I absolutely loved Percy Jackson and the Olympians back when I was younger. It really got me into greek mythology (and the kane chronicles got me into Egyptian) which I'm still into today. (aka I'm the ultimate nerd) So when the Heroes of Olympus series started coming out, I obviously had to read them. I've waited FIVE years for all of the books so seriously, Blood of Olympus, you better not disappoint, AND if Percy or Annabeth dies... All hell will break loose. I will also be very sad if Nico dies.
Synopsis for Blood of Olympus:
Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them—and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake.
The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it "might" be able to stop a war between the two camps.
The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over
AH GIVE ME THIS BOOK NOWWWWWWWWWW
Synopsis for The Young Elites:
I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.
Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.
Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.
Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen.
Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.
It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt
I guess we'll have to see which book I decide to read first because both these books are coming out on the same day and I'm equally as excited for both of them. I'm leaning towards Blood of Olympus so I can complete at least one more series before I start a new one.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed this semi-bookhaul <3
xoxo
