  1. Those first 5 books sound like scary Halloween stories. Enjoy!

    1. The Asylum series ended up being a dud for me. It was listed as YA, but was definitely written more closely to middle grade. Court of Shadows and Tombs of Ancients are book 2 and 3 in the House of Furies trilogy and were AMAZING. I ended up DNF-ing The Book of Living Secrets because it just wasn't hooking me. Plus the author had the characters picking our dresses for the Sadie Hawkins dance, and that is not a dance that people wear dresses to, so someone did not do their research.

    So... Mall trip, as you know. But.... only 4 non-fiction books.... Unfortunately you might like a few of them.

    Alexandria - The City that Changed the World by Islam Issa
    The Story of Scandinavia - From the Vikings to Social Democracy by Stein Ringen

    1. Uuuuuggggghhhhhhh. You're the worst. lol.

      You're also lucky; my library has Alexandria and the Middle Ages book, so they don't have to ever go on my TBR because I will be getting them ASAP. The Scandinavia one, however, I have to put on the TBR.

      I'm surprised there are only four, to be honest...

    2. They were all full price (boo, sucks) so I was being good. Plus I went there (the Mall) for clothes, so I was being good.... [grin]

    1. It was ok for me, but I liked the first one better. I probably won't continue the series but would still recommend the first one to others for sure. Happy Reading!

    1. Shadows and Ancients were fantastic; they're part fo the House of Furies trilogy. The others were not so great, unfortunately. But still a good haul!

    1. I really liked the first one, but was not so into the second one. It felt different to me and I can't quite firugre out why, maybe the author's tone with Molly. I don't know if I will read any more in this series, which bums me out because I liked the first one a lot.
