March Book Haul

Here we are again...

With me trying to figure out how I managed to get so many books.

I really don't know how I do it.

I hate this part... when I have type out all the names... SO MUCH WORK UGH. Well, we have: Sherlock Holmes The Compete Illustrated Novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Urban Dog: The Adventures of Parker by Will Chou; Missing Me and Sister, Missing both by Sophie McKenzie; Gone by Michael Grant; The Luxe by Anna Godbersen; The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold; The Tent, The Bucket and Me by Emma Kennedy; A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly; Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? By Jeanette Winterson; A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; Holes By Louis Sachar; Mansfield Park and Persuasion by Jane Austen; and finally (thank god) And Then There Were None by Agathe Christie. 

Sherlock Holmes The Compete Illustrated Novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mansfield Park and Persuasion by Jane Austen, And Then There Were None by Agathe Christie. 

Now I don't read many classics and I should start to really (I've always been put off them because of school, they do ruin classics and Shakespeare.. I can't pick up a Shakespeare sonnet or play now). So naturally, I picked up The Sherlock Holmes book thing from the book swap along with two little Jane Austen novels, and my brother threw out his brand new Agathe Christie novel so I saved it... just.

The Tent, The Bucket and Me by Emma Kennedy, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? By Jeanette Winterson, A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

I also picked these three up from the book swap and they all looked like cute, fluffy, quick reads so I managed to struggle these home with my other books. And one of them is an old World Book Night Book for 2013 so I'm quite excited about that (I've heard these are usually great reads). I'm afraid I have no idea what any of these are about because I can't remember and I'm too lazy to check for you (sorry).

 Missing Me and Sister, Missing both by Sophie McKenzie, Gone by Michael Grant,  Holes By Louis Sachar.

These are the books I got from Amazon this month, and I probably won't be buying from there again this month due to shipping costs (it's getting ridiculous Amazon, pull yourself together.) I read the Sister, Missing and Missing Me so you can find the reviews there and here (they were okay). I decideD to pick Gone up due to the talk I've heard about it, and because I really wanted to try something new; I then picked up Holes because I remembering covering it at school once and loving it, so here we are I guess.

A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly, Urban Dog: The Adventures of Parker by Will Chou, The Luxe by Anna Godbersen, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. 

So yes again, I picked up three of these from my local book swap (I am naughty... I may have to ban myself); I will admit, I purely picked up The Lovely Bones due to all the hype, but can you really blame me? And then I found The Luxe in a charity shop, because honestly they are probably the best place for good quality but cheap books, and I picked that up because I wanted to pay for something (I feel guilty if I leave empty handed). 

So yeah, that was my not so big (maybe) book haul. I hope you like seeing what I got and I will try reading some of these soon, and I hope you may have some good book recommendations for me? 

Till next time!
