Last month I’ve been to a book fair and lately I’ve been hoarding unusual number of new books. Some were gifts and some I bought for myself. Most I just grabbed and wouldn’t let go…
I swear I’m like a bear getting ready for hibernation!
Here are the books that are new on my shelves!
Half Bad (The Half Bad Trilogy, #1) by Sally Green
&
Half Wild (The Half Bad Trilogy, #2) by Sally Green
Both of them I’ve read earlier this year and I’ve even bought a Croatian edition. Third book in this trilogy Half Wild in English I’ve gotten in April as a gift.
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Also Croatian edition. This is one of the books I bought at the book fair in Zagreb. This book is relatively hard to come by. I was very happy to have found it. Yesterday I’ve seen the first photos and stills of the new miniseries based on this book and I’m even more glad to have gotten it!
The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
This is one of the books I’ve heard from my friend. She read the copy from the library and I was intrigued because it totally missed my radar when it first came out. Again Croatian edition. It has a dark and twisted feel to it and I hope I get to reading it soon.
Saga Omnibus by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples
Croatian edition is a chubby omnibus that collects first three volumes. It is really heavy and not cheap but I love it anyway! I was thrilled when I first read this graphic novel and hopefully next year t this time I’ll have the second omnibus as well!
A Wrinkle in Time (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet, #1) by Madeleine L’Engle
&
A Wind in the Door (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet, #2) by Madeleine L’Engle
These are Croatian editions of a children’s classic I’ve been eyeing for years now. Sadly it is a five book series and there probably won’t be translations for the last three books A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time. 😦 I also found English edition of a second book A Wind in the Door hidden in my shelves o.o
Hammer of Thor (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, #2) by Rick Riordan
I loved the first book and when I’ve seen this one finally arrive I just grabbed it and wouldn’t let go. This is one of the few books I’m getting in hardcover editions as they come out. There are tons of pictures with American edition covers but not many with British edition covers I’m getting. I will try to snap a few good pictures when I do the review.
The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo #1) by Rick Riordan
Only Rick Riordan’s books that did not sit well with me were Kane Chronicles. As for the rest of them I plan to get them all eventually. I love the feel of adventure they bring to life in me when I read them! Maybe I’ll even give Kane Chronicles a new chance as well!
Half a King (Shattered Sea, #1) by Joe Abercrombie
For the purposes of a book gifting in my book club I asked my boyfriend to take his Croatian edition of this book. I promised to replace it with a pretty English edition and I did. I’m actually hoping to get the whole trilogy eventually and read them as well!
The Witch with no Name(The Hollows #13) by Kim Harrison
Last book of The Hollows series. I still have to read one book before it but wouldn’t start before I got this one. I ordered this one online and it is in the mail as we speak!
Staked (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #8) by Kevin Hearne
This book series I need to catch up as well. Boyfriend read all before this book and will be happy to read it too. Ordered online and also in the mail!
