February Book Haul!

So you know how I thought collecting 11 books in January was bad?
Well...
This time I have 17 books.
I was able to get 17 books in the space of 28 days.
How did I even manage that?


So I guess I should name everything now *distant sobbing*: A Study in Scarlet; The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four, His Last Bow, and The Hounds of The Baskervilles all by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern; Girl, Missing by Sophie McKenzie; One Day by David Nicholls; A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen; My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher; Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews; Attatchements by Rainbow Rowell; Thirteen by Tom Hoyle; Double Cross by Malorie Blackman; You Had Me at Hello by Mhairi Mcfarlane; Stravaganze: City of Masks by Mary Hoffman; and finally, Switched by Amanda Hocking *phew*


A Study in Scarlet, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four, His Last Bow, and The Hounds of the Baskervilles all by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

So being the Sherlockian I am I figured it was time to start buying these: I found two of my lovely novels at HMV for £2.99 and couldn't resist (especially with their gorgeous faces on it); and then the others I received from The Radio Times, I ordered these back in January for free when Sherlock returned to our screens (and they finally arrived, I can not possibly tell you how excited I was).


The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern, Girl, Missing by Sophie McKenzie, One Day by David Nicholls, and Stravaganze: City of Masks by Mary Hoffman.

I actually received these for free from our village book swap when I took up a few old books, I think I may have taken more than appropriate, but it was becoming crowded in that Telephone Box so I can justify it (just). I have actually read my mother's copy of One Day but I wanted my own so I got the free one, but I haven't read the others so I'm extremely excited to.


Thirteen by Tom Hoyle, Double Cross by Malorie Blackman, You Had Me at Hello by Mhairi Mcfarlane, and lastly, Switched by Amanda Hocking.

I recieved Switched and You had Me at Hello as gifts as the previous owners didn't want them anymore, I really want to read You Had Me at Hello because I have heard good things, and you can read my review on Switched here. I bought both Double Cross (which completes my Noughts and Crosses series - which I haven't read yet but will soon) and Thirteen at a standard book store at their standard price.


 A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen, My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews, Attatchements by Rainbow Rowell.
I bought all these on offer on Amazon and was very frustrated when I waited for them because I honestly really love Contemporary Novels like these at the moment. I have already read My Sister Lives on the Mantlepiece and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl; that was a lot of 'and's wasn't it? You can read my reviews here and here please. I have started Attatchements and I'm a few chapters in and laughing already, I can tell this is going to be a good book, and my sister is reading A Street Cat Named Bob at the moment so I'll have to wait a while for that.

So, that's everything I got, too much right? I thought so. Well I hope you enjoy seeing what I got, and let me know what you think I should buy and review next!

I need to go rest my typing hands now, before they fall off (they really hurt from that).
