Bookhaul: Kiera Cass all the way!

Kiera Cass hasn't left my thoughts these last few weeks.
 I've been reading her "The Selection" series and it seems like the books in this series just keep coming.  I just got the third book, called "The One", a little while ago and while I was at the bookstore, I couldn't help but notice there were two more! 
 Being the little bookwurm that I am, I got both books immediately! 

"The Heir" 

"The Heir" takes you to what happens after the "happily ever after"...
Is everyone still as happy as they were? What has changed? I honestly feel like I can't keep up. Everytime I read one of the books, two more seem to pop up. Not that I mind, I love reading these books. It might just look like it's about princesses and a "Bachelor" kind of game, but it's actually about so much more if you can read between the lines!

 

"The Prince and the Guard"

This book is a book that's all about the prince and the guard in the book (the two men in America's life). It tells the story of Prince Maxon before and during the Selection and it also tells Aspen's story.

I'm very curious! As always, I will keep you updated and review each book!


Have you read any good books recently?

Bookhaul: The One

 

These last few months I've put off reading a little.
I was simply too busy with school and also my personal life wasn't exactly calm. Now I'm taking a break from school and even though I still have to work, I have some time to read as well!
Last week I finally got a new book.
This book is called "The One", by Kiera Cass. It's the third book in the "The Selection" trilogy.

 

This book is an easy read, it's about a bunch of girls that try to win a prince's heart. A little bit like "The Bachelor", but with royalty. I enjoyed reading the first book a lot! You can find my review on the first book right here.


I'm currently reading the second book, there will be a review on that book as well!

Thanks for reading!

Book haul: "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver

You guys know that I love books, right?
In case you didn't: I love books! 

I have been in love with dystopian books especially! I just finished a young adult series (4 books) and now it's time to look for something else to read. I've been wanting "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver for a long time, but I only wanted to buy it once I had read my other books, so now was a good time!

 

I was so happy they still had this book in the bookstore! It was the last one! 
Here's a short summary, in case you wanted to know what the book is about:

"The totalitarian government teaches that love is a disease, named amor deliria nervosa, commonly referred to as "the deliria". A surgical cure for the deliria has been developed and is mandatory for citizens 18 years old and over. Lena has looked forward to the procedure for years, convinced as she is by the government that love is a horrible disease that must be destroyed from mankind's system.
However, mere months before her scheduled procedure, Lena falls in love with a boy named Alex."

I looked online and saw that Elle Fowler did a review on this book, so, if you still want more information... Here it is!

Thanks for reading!

Mixed bookhaul ♥

As a little bookworm, I love coming into my room and seeing that my dad got me a book. I love going to the bookstore and coming home with a treasure as well.
Recently he has done a lot of effort to get me a couple of books. I decided I would do a mixed haul for you.


The first book that I bought was the third book from Veronica Roth's Divergent series. This book is called Allegiant.
It came out last week (well, in my country, it had to be translated first). I had been waiting for it for such a long time so I'm glad to have it!

The next book is a book about the first World War here in Belgium. I have always liked history and I'm especially interested in the World Wars. Since I'm also going to be studying history in college next year, it would do well to read it.

Next I got another book, this one is by Pieter Aspe. I don't know if the name will sound familiar to you but he's actually a very known, succesful writer here in Belgium. He mostly writes thrillers and his books have been turned into series on television.

Thanks for reading!

Huge book haul!

Hello you guys! 
Two more days and my exams will (finally) be over! The last few weeks I have been collecting some new books to keep myself busy during summer but I've never shown them. That's why today I decided to make a huge bookhaul! 
 

Here’s a list of the names and writers of these books:
  • Sebastian Fitzek: “The eye collector”
  • Asa Larsson: “Sun storm”
  • Dutch, non translated book (holds two stories) Kluun: “Komt een vrouw bij de dokter” and “De weduwnaar”

Next I have a book from David Baldacci, I've never read one of his books but I'm quite excited to see if I like them. I don't know how the book is called in English but literally translated it's "Foul play". It's a thriller! 


I also got a war diary by an artist and soldier called Len Smith, who wrote from 1914-1918 about his experiences in the trenches. Over the last few years I've become very interested and fascinated with the two world wars so... I also think this book is personal and it's a good source of information. Bookreviews of these books will be up as soon as I finish them! Have you read any good books lately?

See you later! Thanks for reading!

Book Haul: "Genesis" by Karin Slaughter

Hello you guys! These last few weeks I haven't only been reading young adult books (like The Hunger Games and Divergent) but also a lot of thrillers. Normally I'm not really good with thrillers because I get scared really easily but the book stand with thrillers on it in my bookstore has become something that I always check when I go there.

I think it was two days ago I went to the bookstore and I was hanging out there, reading the summery of a lot of books when I found this one. It seemed quite interesting to me!


"Three and a half years ago former Grant Country medical examiner Sara Linton moved to Atlanta hoping to leave her tragic past behind her. Now working as a doctor in Atlanta's Grady Hospital she is starting to piece her life together. But when a severely wounded young woman is brought in to the emergency room, she finds herself drawn back into a world of violence and terror. The woman has been hit by a car but naked and brutalised it's clear that she has been the prey of a twisted mind.

When Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Investigation Team returns to the scene of the accident he stumbles on a torture chamber buried deep beneath the earth. And this hidden house of horror reveals a ghastly truth - Sara's patient is just the first victim of a sick, sadistic killer. Wrestling the case away the local police chief, Will and his partner Faith Mitchell find themselves at the centre of a grisly murder hunt. And Sara, Will and Faith - each with their own wounds and their own secrets - are the only thing that stands between a madman and his next crime..."

I already get the chills when I read the summery. I can't wait to read the book and see what it's all about - more detailled. I love it when all the pieces start to fall together in thrillers, it's both fascinating and scary in a way!
