Did I need more books? No. Did I still buy some anyway? Yes... I happened to be near the Book Revue, a local bookstore on Long Island, the other day, and I couldn't help but go in and see what goodies I could find! I think someone needs to host an intervention for me because as soon as I see a bookstore I just HAVE to go in! And then I end up more buying books, but I tried to limit myself to only buying bargain books! So here’s what I got: Caraval by Stephanie Garber~ When Scarlett and her sister, Tella, go to participate in Caraval (the once-a-year event where the audience participates in a show), the last thing Scarlett expects is for it to turn into a scavenger hunt for her own sister. Now she must find her sister in five days before she disappears forever. Reason: So this book was a case of #BookstagramMadeMeDoIt because of all the hype I’ve seen over the last book coming out! Plus it was only $6 so it seemed like a sign... The Rosie Project & The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion~ When Don Tillman meets Rosie Jarman, they are complete opposites. But theirs journeys become intertwined and results in a moving and hilarious love story. Reason: I’m a sucker for a good love story and this box set was only $10! Also my friend convinced me to buy it because she’d heard they were really good books! Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie~ This captivating tale follows Haroun’s attempt to restore the poisoned sea of stories. Reason: At this point I’m trying to complete my Penguin Drop Caps Collection, plus it was on the remainder table! Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare~ {Do I even need to write a summary of this? 😂} Reason: I just really liked the cover (plus it was $2)! Property Of by Alice Hoffman~ A young girl falls in love with the president of a street gang, but is their love doomed before its even begun? Reason: I started reading it while at the store to see if I would like it and kind of just got entranced with it. Plus it was a retro copy that was only like $2! Has anyone read these book? I’d love to know what you thought of them! Also, what books should I grab on my next trip to the bookstore?
