New Blog...

For anyone who happens to come across this, I decided to start a new blog called In The Stars Above, where I will talk about everything, not just books. I found this blog to be a little restricting because I could inly talk about books and I'm not reading enough lately for this to be enough. So head on over there for books, films, fashion and more.

Book Haul: December 2015

I received a Kindle this Christmas, as well as an Amazon voucher so I thought I would treat myself to a few books on the Kindle. Here are the books that I bought, and as a whole they came in under £15.

The Final Empire: Mistborn Book One by Brandon Sanderson

This is a fantasy novel that I have heard so much about on the book blogging universe, so I had to give it a go, seeing as fantasy is one of my favourite genres (not that you'd know if from this haul). From what I know, this novel is set in a world of magic that is ruled by some sort of evil. I don't know much more than that, so I'm looking forward to this.

Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

I'm getting into mystery novels recently, and this is a sort of young adult version which I thought would be a good introduction.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews

This is a young adult contemporary novel about two best friends and the film they make for a dying girl that they befriend. Although this focusses a lot on depth, I've heard that it's actually pretty funny.

The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer

I don't know much about this book, but I think that's the point. It tells the story of one man's descent into mental illness, something that is often ignored in fiction, particularly fiction aimed at a younger adult audience.

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton

Once again, I don't know a whole lot about this one. It's a historical novel with aspects of magical realism. It isn't anything like what I've read before, so I thought I would give it a go after hearing some good things.
