Those first 5 books sound like scary Halloween stories. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
DeleteSorry..... [grin]
ReplyDeleteSo... Mall trip, as you know. But.... only 4 non-fiction books.... Unfortunately you might like a few of them.
The Great Transformation - The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time by Karl Polanyi
Alexandria - The City that Changed the World by Islam Issa
The Story of Scandinavia - From the Vikings to Social Democracy by Stein Ringen
A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages - The World Through Medieval Eyes by Anthony Bale
Uuuuuggggghhhhhhh. You're the worst. lol.
DeleteYou'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...
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]
DeleteShadowlands was really enjoyable! Or at least, I thought so. :D Hope you enjoy it too!

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!
DeleteLooks like you are bingeing an author/series. I hope you enjoy all of these!! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteShadows 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!
DeleteHope you enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a bunch of delightfully creepy covers.
ReplyDeleteI do love a good, creepy cover. Shadows and Ancients were fantastic! They're part of the House of Furies trilogy.
