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!

Book haul: Three times Stephen King!

Do you ever just get the feeling of not wanting to do anything. Like hobbies, aren't you ever tired of them? Normally I love reading books but since the summer break, I haven't really read much anymore. Also, it stunned me how long it's been since I've done a bookreview on the blog! Woah, it's crazy! Anyways, I want to get myself back on track, that's why today I'm doing a book haul of my latest three Stephen King books.

I have a love/hate relationship with books: I do have to admit that they are written so incredibly well, it's almost too good to be true, but on the other hand, the scary parts are also live like and they scare me so much! Often times, when I've read one or two chapters, I still think about them late at night and I get even more scared! I'm a real chicken. However, I continue to buy Stephen King books. Here are the three books I recently got! 


"Lisey's story"

 

This one, which I can't find the translation of, but it starts with a prologue about how his kid is afraid of the "book cops" from the library and how he used to be afraid of that too. The story is inspired on the book cops.
 

And last but not least: The Talisman! I hear many great things about this book so I will for sure try to read it as fast as I can! Is anyone of you interested in a particular book (to read bookreviews about)?
Let me know! What are your favourite books by Stephen King?

Thanks for reading!
