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!

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! 

Have you read any good books lately?
