Book Haul: Book Fest & Malaysia

Book Haul: Book Fest & Malaysia

Hey guys :)

  I recently went to a book fest and had a road trip with my family to Malaysia. I bought several books during the period of time and I thought it would be a good idea to do my very first book haul.

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg & City of Bones
by Cassandra Clare

  The books I bought from book fest are Girl Online by Zoe Sugg and City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Both of these books are on my want-to-read list so I thought I would buy these books during book fest since they were on sale. I wanted to buy a Hitler books called Look Who's Back but those were sold out. I have to say, I didn't think about the sequels to the two books that I bought when I was buying them. I also kind of regret buying City of Bones since the book that I got was not the one with the cover I wanted. The City of Bones that I bought is the one with original cover on it. The one that I wanted was the latest cover :(

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

  Let's step away from my decision making and book cover problems for a minute and focus on these two books that I bought shall we? (From the back of the book) Girl Online - Penny has a secret. Under the alias Girl Online, Penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendship, boys, her crazy family and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York, where she meets Noah: a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. Suddenly Penny is falling in love - and capturing every moment of it on her blog. But Noah has a secret too. One that threatens to ruin Penny's cover - and her closest friendship - forever. I've wanted to read this book since Zoe Sugg announced that she was releasing this book (I'm a major fan of hers). I had to control myself from borrowing the book from my friend and reading it before I bought it. I've heard good reviews about and my friend told me that Penny (main character) reminds her of me so I obviously have to read to see what she means.




The covers I wanted

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

  Now for the City of Bones- Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn to the Shadowhunters, a secret group of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the danger of forbidden love. I wanted to read this book before the movie comes out years ago but back then, I wasn't really that excited about reading. Now that the tv series is coming out, isnt it the perfect time to start reading the series. I thought the movie was great and I went to read reviews of it online and a lot of people said that they didn't really followed the book. I don't blame them though, the book is quite thick (it's thicker than mockingjay and they split the mockingjay movie into 2 parts). Since then, I've wanted to read the book to understand the story more. I've attempted to read the book twice now but failed both times. Personally I think it was bad timing so let's hope that now would be a good time for me to start the mortal instruments series.



All the 7 books side by side

   So... What did I buy in Malaysia? My dad bought me the entire Harry Potter series as an advance birthday gift! I've wanted the entire series since I was 11. The entire Harry Potter series have brought me into this magical world of reading and books so thank you so much J.K Rowling for writing this series. So which cover did I get? For this series, I managed to buy the entire series in the book cover that I wanted! If I'm not wrong, the book cover that I got is the latest book cover there is. I might actually do a separate blog post on the series and the new book cover.


The case/box for the new cover

Yup, that's all that I bought. I'm proud of myself for not buying too much books because I literally have no more space on my bookshelf. I need to get a new bookshelf :(

Hope you guys enjoyed this blog post.
