Loads of New Books!

I Got New Books!!

Today I had the opportunity and time to buy a few books. Now the thing is they are not from big-name authors since I had the chance to stop at Dollar Tree and wanted a few new books on hand. Where I have been getting my books from is no longer going to be around anymore, which is very sad in my personal opinion because Blogging for Books (where I had originally gotten my books from) was very accommodating, acceptable, and always answered any questions you had. **

**There will be another article stating alternative options for books to receive through review programs.

Anyway back to the topic of getting new books from not as known of authors. I was just looking around Dollar Tree and came across their book section, it isn't all that large but in some cases, fewer options can open your eyes to books you might not find interesting if you had other options. Well while I was there I did find one that was interesting right in front of them all. Well me being the die-hard book lover I am I kept finding more books I thought I would enjoy (and even if I didn't who cares they are only $1) I was sitting on my knees looking at the very bottom shelf to find more digging through them all. I'm very sure the people there were giving me weird looks...besides my odd behaviors in public places truly searching for my next read like it were an artifact from the Mayan ruins. I did find seven books I actually thought sounded very interesting. I was surprised by how many I found. Even if the cover art isn't the best the description is intriguing and kept you wanting to read more. 

Overall I am glad I looked at the Dollar Tree even if I wasn't trying to find them in the first place. I would definitely recommend trying places like this if you are looking to branch out into the types of books you read. Since they don't cost that much, if you don't like them you can always give them to someone else to enjoy. Spreading the love of books to others, who might also not be able to afford them. 

Below will be a list of the books that I bought if you are interested I will have a plot summary of each. It will be in my own words but just a shorter description of the overall book that was written by the author.

The Conjurer's Riddle

by Andrea Cremer

Charlotte may have left the floating city, but she's not out of danger yet. On the run from the British Empire's clutches, she lands her group of exiles west and south, plunging into a wild world of shady merchants and surly rivermen on the way to New Orleans. 

But the more Charlotte learns about the revolution she has championed, the more questions she has. As she and her friends get to know the hidden tunnels that run below New Orleans, home to criminals, assassins, and pirates and head deep into the mystical bayou surrounding the city, Charlotte must make a decision. 

Do the revolution's goals justify their means, or are some things too sacred to sacrifice?

How To Fall

by Jane Casey

Sixteen-year-old Jess Tennant has never met any of her relatives, until her mom suddenly drags her out of London to a spend the summer in the tiny English town that is her family's hometown. Her mom's decision is surprising, but even more surprising is the town's reaction to Jess. Everywhere she goes, people look at her as if they have seen a ghost. In a way they have ---- she looks just like her cousin Freya, who died shortly before Jess came to town.

Jess automatically feels a strange connection to Freya, whom she never got to meet. But the more Jess learns about the secrets that Freya was keeping while she was alive, the more suspicious her death starts to look. One thing is for sure: This will be anything but the safe, boring summer in the country that Jess was expecting. 

The Lost Boys Symphony

by Mark Andrew Ferguson

After Henry's girlfriend Val leaves him and transfers to another school, his grief begins to manifest itself in bizarre and horrifying ways. Cause and effect, once so reliable, no longer appear to be related in any recognizable manner. Either he's hallucinating, or the strength of his heartbreak over Val has unhinged reality itself.

Henry decides to run away. He leaves his mother's home in the suburbs and marches toward the city and the woman who he thinks will save him. Once on the George Washington Bridge, however, a powerful hallucination knocks him out cold. When he awakens, he finds himself kidnapped by two strangers--one old, one middle-aged--who claim to be future versions of Henry himself. Val is the love of your life, they tell him. We've lost her, but you don't have to.

In the meantime, Henry's best friend, Gabe,  is on the verge of a break down of his own. Convinced he is somehow to blame for Henry's deterioration and eventful disappearance, Gabe is consumed by a potent mix of guilt and sadness. When he is approached by an enigmatic to his lost friend, Gabe begins to fear for his own sanity. With nowhere else to turn, he reaches out to the only person who can possibly help him make sense of it all: Val.

Since I have not had a chance to read any of these books yet feel free to read any and comment what you thought of them. Good or Bad, if you would like to post a review of the book if you did or did not like it feel free to go onto Goodreads or Amazon. 

When I have had a chance there will be a separate review on each of the books in the list above.
