This Labor Day weekend, Half Price Books is having an amazing sale! Everything, and yes I mean everything, is twenty percent off. Now, I'm an English major so I try to stay caught up on new books so this was the perfect time to go buy some books I've been wanting to read.
Book number one! The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.
I have heard mix reviews about this one. Some said it was the new Gone Girl and some said it was too slow. However, I want to read it to figure out it if actually is any good.
Book number two! Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee.
Once again, I'm an English Education major and To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books. That being said, this has a lot to live up to. Atticus Finch is my favorite character and I have heard that now he is a racist old fart which makes me really sad. Hopefully it will still be amazing.
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
I have heard nothing but good things about this book. I really love the message this book has and I am very excited about this one. I'll probably read this one first since I just can't control my excitement!
Under Wildwood by Colin Meloy and illustrations by Carson Ellis
I love illustrations. I do watercolor paintings and I consider myself an expert doodler. This is the second book in the Wildwood trilogy. Now, I haven't read the first book yet. I am waiting for it to arrive in the post. I can tell I'm going to love it so I thought it would be smart to buy this one for the discounted price.
Let's take a moment to enjoy that cover!
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
I needed a new copy of my beloved Lord of the Flies. Mine was ugly and gross. They didn't have a hardcover, but after reading A Clockwork Orange again I was really craving some Lord of the Flies.
