BOOKS.
Bought: Okay, this is a bit of an odd one. I actually had The Watch that Ends the Night and then, after months of not reading it, gave it to the used bookstore. But then I went and saw the Titanic exhibit at a local museum and it was so so so incredibly amazing (seriously, anyone in the San Diego area should go see it) that I immediately regretted giving this book up and went to the bookstore the next day to buy it back. I'm not quite sure why it's being considered YA, but whatever it is, I like it so far (I'm about 80 pages in as I write this post). As for the second book, The Rivals, I'm so so so jazzed about it. I absolutely loved The Mockingbirds and while it's not one that I felt really needed a sequel, it sounds so interesting and unique and I've heard such good things about this book that I'm sure I'll like it. (Now I just wish the cover I had of The Mockingbirds matched this.)
I got sent a Titanic book from a publisher the other day and have been completely sucked in with it! It's so fascinating and gives way more details than the movie ever did. ;) I have a friend who absolutely LOVED The Mockingbirds and I love the new cover of it, so I may have to try it. Enjoy your books!

Oooh, what Titanic book?
DeleteAlso, I hated the movie. HATED. Like, couldn't even finish it. Haha.
Oh, I like that The Watch That Ends The Night is good so far. I still have that from BEA.
ReplyDeleteAhhh I really wanted to read The Rivals, will have to check to see if it's at my library.
Happy reading, Jordyn! :-)
Finished The Watch that Ends the Night. It was definitely good, though there were parts (poems from the iceberg's POV) that threw me off a little. And I'm honestly not sure why it was published as YA to be honest.
DeleteI can imagine you going back to the bookstore..."Oh, um, y'know that book I brought you? I was just kidding!" =)
ReplyDeleteThe Rivals is good. Good, good, good. I hope you love it.
LOL!!
DeleteI hope I love it, too. I have high hopes/expectations for it.
