April Book Haul & First Line Feature:

I want to start out by saying I had a terrible reading month. I only read one book. I will just add it to my May Wrap Up. Now on to the fun part! I have 11 books to share with you. Let's get started : )

Click on the titles to go to their Goodreads' page

The Cabinet of Wonders by Marie Rutkoski

I'm going to a book signing this month and she will be there, so I decided to pick this up. 

"Earlier that morning, Petra Kronos had woken up to the tick tick tick of metal." -The Cabinet of Wonders 

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore

I've heard a lot of good things about Christopher Moore and his humorous writing, so I'm excited to find out for myself. "Charlie Asher walked the Earth like an ant walks on the surface of water, as if the slightest misstep might send him plummeting through the surface to be sucked to the depths below." -A Dirty Job

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

Unearthly is the first book in a young adult trilogy about angels. "The first time, November 6 to be exact, I wake up at two a.m. with a tingling in my head like tiny field dancing behind my eyes."- Unearthly

The Shadow Society by Marie Rutkoski

Another book for the book signing. I don't know too much about this book, but I have seen some pretty good reviews. "My first day back at Lakewood High seemed innocent enough." -The Shadow Society

Of Poseidon & Of Triton by Anna Banks 

These books are part of a series about mermaids. I have never read a mermaids book before, so I'm nervous. I hope they are great. Anna Banks will also be at the book signing. "I smack into him as if shoved from behind." -Of Poseidon

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by David Levithan & Rachel Cohn

I have read David Levithan before, and I enjoyed his writing style. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares is a winter contemporary read. "Imagine this: You're in your favourite bookstore, scanning the shelves." - Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

The Program by Suzanne Young 

Suicide is an epidemic. If you seem unstable then you are sent to The Program. It seems like a fast-paced story with a little bit of romance mixed in. "The air in the room tastes sterile." -The Program

Across The Universe by Beth Revis

Across The Universe is the first book in an young adult sci-fi trilogy. Amy is frozen on a spaceship when she is woken up 50 years before she is supposed to be. She almost died. Who woke her up? Why did they wake her up? I'm excited to find out. "Daddy said, "Let Mom go first." -Across the Universe

Daughter of Smoke and Bone & Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor

I don't know what this series is about so I will share what the back of DOSAB says. "She had been innocent once, a little girl playing with feathers on the floor of a devil's lair. She wasn't innocent now...." What?! I must read ASAP! "Walking to school over the snow-muffled cobbles, Karou had no sinister premonition about the day." -Daughter of Smoke and Bone

Until Next Time,

Currently Reading & Book Haul:

Happy Saturday!

I wanted to update you guys on what I'm currently reading. I'm reading three books right now. It's crazy I know. I have never read more than one book at a time before. I'm still trying to finish Panic before the month is over. I only have about 100 pages left in Cinder, and I'm almost 200 pages into The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. Hugo is a very interesting book. It is made up of hand drawn pictures and prose. I will post some pictures of the artwork, but first let's admire the cover.

I love the cover. Not only is it beautiful, but it relates to the story. Hugo is a young boy who works on the clocks in a busy Paris train station. His father and him worked on all types of little trinkets. Until one day, his father discovered an extremely unique treasure that will consume his life. His father died unexpectedly, so now Hugo must continue on in his father's footsteps to figure out the mystery behind the treasure and his father's death.

Now time for the mini book haul. I recently placed an order from bookoutlet.com and Amazon. I was so surprised that I found all of these books for such a great deal. Without further a do, here are my new books : )

Click on any of the titles, and it will take you to the book's summary.
