August Book Haul!

Hello Everyone,

I got quite a large amount of books this month. I think that I have a book buying problem. My family and friends needs to keep me away from bookstores! Don't get me wrong, I love having new books to put on my TBR shelf and then reading said books, but unfortunately my bank account hates it.

There are 10 books in this haul and I love every single one and I cannot wait to read the ones that I haven't read yet!

Lets get right on into it:

Firstly, The Maze Runner Series by James Dashner

I picked this series up on a whim because I had just watched The Maze Runner (the movie) and I was inspired to read the books before the second movie comes out. I started reading The Maze Runner at the beginning of the month and it was okay in my opinion. I'm not sure if I am going to carry on reading this series. Does it get better on book 2? You can read my review of The Maze Runner here!

Next, The Heroes of Olympus: The House of Hades and The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

I read the Percy Jackson series when I was in grade 8 (5/6 years ago) and since then I have always read any new books that Rick Riordan releases. I hadn't seen these in stores and when I saw them I knew that I had to buy them (bonus: they were really good prices). I'm not going to say much about these books other than they are a part of a series (book 4 and 5 respectively) and that it is a spin-off of the Percy Jackson series. It's good, trust me. Finally, I have completed my Percy Jackson collection!

Next, Magonia by a Maria Dahvana Headley 

I've heard a lot of really good things about this book from other book bloggers and booktubers and when I was it at my local bookstore I just had to pick it up. I'm not too sure about the context of this book but I do know that it is about a girl named Aza who has a lung disease who sees a ship in the sky and no one believes her exempt one of her guy friends Jason. Aza then leaves the world that we know and arrives at a new world, Magonia. I also know that it is a must read for fans of Neil Gaiman and John Green. I'm super excited to read it!

 Next, I picked up the 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. 

I'm currently reading this book now and it is beyond amazing! It is a post apocalyptic book that follows a girl named Cassie as she tries to find her brother. This is a brilliant book and I cannot put it down because the pages just turn themselves.

Next, I got Ghost Flight by Bear Grylls. 

I have waited for this book since June when it came out. It just arrived in South Africa and I raced to my nearest book store to grab myself a copy. This is a historical fiction book about a man named Will Jaeger (who Bear based on his grandfather) and it follows Will's adventures during World War Two and the Hitler era. I love reading historical fiction books like this one and I cannot wait to dig my teeth into this one! I will let you know what I think of it!

 Lastly, These Broken Stars by Aime Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. 

I tried to read this book but, I was in a reading slump and I couldn't get further than page 70 something. I have heard amazing things about this book and I will pick it up again soon because I did enjoy those 70 pages. This book is about a girl and boy who have to survive after their space ship crashes and they cannot find anyone else who was on the ship. They only have each other. There's space, adventure and love what more could you want in a sci-fi book?

Do you want to read any of these books? 

Have you read any?
