Hello fellow book bloggers. Oh how I miss WordPress and all of you. I cannot believe I have been on hiatus for so long on the blogosphere. Four months! Four months since I last made a post on this blog and of course reading and commenting on all of your amazing posts (sorry!) It’s been too long; however, the adult life has just been keeping me busy. Work has been hectic and actually overwhelming, but hey it’s the only way to pay my bills. 😉 Anyways for my first post in a really long time I just wanted to share you some of the books that I bought and hoping to read soon. I still have so much to read….. It’s not much like my usual, but I haven’t had a lot of time devoted to reading so I think it’s only reasonable that I didn’t purchase too much. And of course my purchases are always a little bit of everything.
I’m all about judging a book by it’s cover (no shame) so I definitely couldn’t resist buying these classics.
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Prized by Caragh M. O’Brien
Half Bad by Sally Green
Horde by Ann Aguirre
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Gathering Darkness by Morgan Rhodes
The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson
The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (I own too many copies of this book)
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (already read this book and because I loved the book too much I had to buy my own copy)
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte by Syrie James
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Promised by Caragh O’ Brien
Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
Rebel Spring by Morgan Rhodes
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

Yes it’s a really good book. One of my favorites that’s why I bought a copy just to re-read it again. 🙂 I own other books of hers as well but yet have to read them.

Oh my goodness I think it will take me long, too! 😂 Secret Garden is one of my favorites so definitely need to have multiple copies of different editions. 😊

it took me less than one summer to read the unabridged of Les Mis. I told myself I will finish this book and not skip over anything. It is so worth it in the end no matter how long it takes you to finish. The musical helped me finish the book in the amount of time that it took me

Yeah Right !! Totally worth it.

It was even worth it reading those boring history lessons. If it wasn’t for the musical, I probably never would have read the book in the first place
