December Book Haul 2013 (Christmas Excluded)

Hello again! So it is about time for me to do a December book haul. So because I buy so many books my husband and I have come to the agreement that we each get an 'allowance' every month that we can spend. In my case it is for books in his it is to a savings account to by a 'junk' car that he can fix up.

If you haven't guessed the reason I am doing the haul so early is because I have already spent my allowance for the month. I am excluding christmas from this and I will do a totally separate post for those.

In the month of December I bought six books.

First was A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. This is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, this is one of his comedies. It is about 4 teens Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena. Hermia and Lysander are in love but Demetrius is in love with Hermia too and has her fathers approval. Then there is Helen who is basically Demetrius's ex and is still in love with him. Hermia and Lysander run off into the forest to elope and is chased by Demetrius who is chased by Helena. Once all 4 are in the forest a fairy named Puck makes a mistake with a love potion and things get crazy from there.

Next is Teardrop by Lauren Kate. I had never heard of this book before when I saw it at Walmart. This book is about 17 year old Eureka who's mother is killed in a freak accident and after a boy named Ander appears everywhere she goes. Before long she discovers a story of a girl who cried an entire continent into the sea. After this Ander's appearance and her mother's death seem connected. It sounds every interesting to me and I am so excited to read it.

After that I got World After by Susan Ee. I can't really tell you about this one because it is the sequel to Angelfall and if I tell you about this book it will spoil that.

The next book I got was Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. This book is about Cather who is starting her Freshman year of college. She, unlike her twin sister, is an introvert. And she is a huge fan of the Simon Snow books. Which is kind of like Harry Potter. This is the story of her coming into her own self and coming out of her shell.

After that I got Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. This is a horror book that follows a boy named Cas Lowood who hunts ghosts. She goes to hunt Anna who kills everyone who enters the house she hunts. That is all I know and it sounds so good.

And the last book that I got was Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King. This book is about Vera Dietz who has been in love with her best friend her entire life. She has kept all of his secrets and one day he betrays her and runes their friendship. So when he dies under dark circumstances she knows a lot more than even the police. However, she doesn't know if she wants to clear his name.  I am really excited to read this book and it might just be the first I read in 2014.

So those are all the books that I bought in December. I will do a seperate haul for any books that I get for Christmas (and I know I am getting a few from my husband). Thanks!
