Current Library Haul :)

Happy Monday Guys!

I know it's the start of another work week, and that shouldn't necessarily be so exciting.

However, I'm excited today for two main reasons:

1) I'm actually going on vacation with my family next week for a few days, and I can't even describe how excited I am about it. While we're definitely not going anywhere fancy, it's actually been quite a long time since I went on vacation with my family at all, and I know we're going to have an amazing time!

2) I'm also excited because today I'm going to talk about something on my blog today that I don't normally talk about, and that's going to be all about just how much I love my local library, and how much I love supporting it.

While I'm not going to lie on my blog and say that I don't buy a lot of books, because let's be honest guys, by the book hauls I post on here, you all know that I definitely buy a lot of books. However, because of how fast I go through books, and how expensive books are in Canada right now thanks to the horrible exchange, there's no way that I can possibly buy every single book I want to read, and thus, the public library has become my personal best friend.

What I particularly love about my specific library, is that you can request books from anywhere in our province (as long as the book is in the system), and have it sent to my local library. So, to be honest, I'm pretty much getting emails from the library at least once or twice a week about a book being in that I ordered, and I love doing it this way. If I end up loving the book, then it will go on my list to purchase eventually, but if it ends up being one that I'm not totally crazy about, well then I don't have to worry about wasting my money on it.

So to end this long rambling about how much I honest to goodness love my local library, I thought I would go ahead and post a haul of the current books I have checked out from my library. :)

1) Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder:


I am loving this book, and am about halfway through it at this point. It's such a unique concept, especially for YA, and I'm looking forward to finishing it, and continuing on with the series.

2) The Midnight Queen by Sylvia Izzo Hunter;


This one I'm only a few chapters in, but so far, I'm really not seeing the Harry Potter similarities that so many others have talked about it when reviewing it. I think it's a really good story, and that the wizarding academy is done from a much different perspective than Harry Potter, but I guess I'll see if I change my mind once I get further into it.

3) Winning by Lara Deloza:


I haven't started this one yet, and I don't know too much about it, however, it sounds like a classic mean girl story, and I'm excited for the chance to try something new.

4) Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson:


I've been hearing so much about this one ever since its publication a few years ago, but I hadn't had the chance to read it yet. I love fairy tale retellings, and I'm excited to see a very different perspective on Peter Pan. 

5) May The Best Man Die by Deborah Donnelly:


I've really been enjoying the Carnegie Kincaid mystery series so far, and while I'm only a few chapters into this one right now, I'm already pretty hooked on the mystery, and am excited to finish it and find out what happened.

6) The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski:


This is the last book I have checked out from the library currently, and in one way I can't wait to hurry up and finish it, as I can't wait to find out what happens. On the other hand, I'm kind of procrastinating starting it, as I really don't want to see this beloved series come to an end. I'm fairly certain though, that as soon as I do finally get around to reading it, that I will completely love it. :)

So that's it for my current library haul guys. I'm excited to have gotten to share my love for the public library today, and I'll see you all back here on Wednesday for a new Top 5 Wednesday post!


Thanks for reading!

Happy Friday Everyone :) Do you have any fun plans this weekend? I'm hoping to spend some more time working in my garden, and also hopefully be able to spend some time reading outside.
