Ramblings of Another Uni Graduate: September Book Haul

Hey guys!

As I have only been out at night a couple of times in York since I have been here, I have saved A LOT of money. Which is somewhat surprising considering I have been spending an awful lot on food.

Anyway, I decided to put the money I have saved to good use: a book haul. I've done a few of these before, but it's only today that I have decided to do a post on the books I have bought.

So a couple of weeks ago I paid a visit to The Works, a shop that sells books quite cheaply. I found three books I wanted for £1 each!!!!

I've wanted this book for a while. It's recommended for fans of Before I Fall (Lauren Oliver) so I should enjoy it.

All These Things I've Done is by Gabrielle Zevin, author of Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, which I read a few months ago. Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac are amongst some of my favourite YA novels. Hopefully All These Things I've Done will live up to my expectations of a Gabrielle Zevin book.

I couldn't resist buying Hidden. Although I still have yet to read (and buy) Destined, the ninth book in the House of Night series, I just had to buy Hidden. I mean, it was ONE POUND!!!! It's quite hard to find the books I want for that price.

Onto the books I bought on Amazon...

Looking For Alaska is John Green's first novel. It is described on Amazon as "The unmissable first novel from bestselling and award-winning author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS", and apparently it "will stay with you forever." Looking For Alaska is "Poignant, funny, heartbreaking and compelling".

This book is EVERYWHERE at the moment. I wasn't sure whether I would like it or not but a friend recommended it to me so that should be a positive thing.

One thing: WHY DIDN'T I BUY THIS BOOK YEARS AGO?!?!?!?!?! (I apologise for the caps)

I'll definitely be reading this book during the summer.

Gossip Girl is great. Typically, I watched the TV series first before I embarked on reading the books. I read the first book around April / May, just before my end of year exams. Obviously, there were a lot of things that were different from the TV programme. I won't go into detail on what these were.
