I walked past an English bookstore after watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the cinema this week, and decided to take a peek, since I had never been there before. I walked in there and it felt like heaven! A ton of books, mostly paperbacks, and all for cheap! I checked Bookdepository before I bought something, and all the books I had seen there were at least € 1,50 cheaper than when buying it in the UK. Win!
I'm sorry I forgot to take the price tags off.. Whoops!
The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern. Isn't this a pretty cover? It looks so delicate and sophisticated! The book is about Tamara Goodwin who had always lived in the here and now, never thinking about tomorrow. Until a travelling library arrived in her tiny village, bringing with it a mysterious, large leather-bound book locked with a gold clasp and padlock. What she discovers within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its core (this comes from the backside of the book).
I have a couple of Cecelia Aherns books, I think I'm only missing one now (A Place Called Here) and I'm looking forward to reading this book!
For Thymara, a Rainwilder born with scales and claws, the return of dragons symbolises the return of hope to her war-torn world. Leftrin, captain of the liveship Tarman, also has an interest in the hatching; as does Bingtown newlywed, Alise Finbok, who has made it her life's work to study dragons.
But the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the dragons of old. Soon, they become a danger to all: it is decided that they must be moved. Far upriver lies the legendary Elderling city of Kelsingra. Perhaps there the dragons will find their true home.
However, if the dragons get there, a band of dragon keepers must be recruited to attend them. None are expected to return, or even survive, but Thymara is certain it's her destiny..
This is the first book in the Rainwild Chronicles Series, the second book (Dragon haven) is already released as well.
Night World, Volume 1 by L.J. Smith. This book holds the first three books, Secret Vampire, Daughters of Darkness and Enchantress. I've been wanting to order the series for quite some time now and I found them for way cheaper than online! I was thrilled to see them lying there on the shelf. From the backside: The Night World is a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches and creatures of darkness - a place too dangerous to fall in love.
Night World, Volume 2 by L.J. Smith. This book holds the first three books, Dark Angel, The Chosen and Soulmate. From the backside: The Night World is a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches and creatures of darkness - a place too dangerous to fall in love.
Night World, Volume 3 by L.J. Smith. This book holds the first three books, Huntress, Black Dawn and Witchlight. From the backside: The Night World is a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches and creatures of darkness - a place too dangerous to fall in love.
I´ve read the Vampire Diaries, also by L.J. Smith, and I loved that! I still have to get a copy of Stefan´s Diaries: Bloodlust, but I'm waiting for the 'original' black cover to come back because I want the series to look the same in my book closet. I'm weird like that.
Well, that's all for what I got in my mailbox this week! What did you get in yours?

ReplyDeleteAh, I love Night World! I thought they were much, much better than The Vampire Diaries (which I enjoyed, but not nearly as much). I hope you like them! You got a great deal, too.
