Recent book purchases


The first book I picked up was book fourteen from one of my favourite book series', The Morganville Vampires. It sounds childish, but surprisingly it is an amazing take on vampires living among humans and the realistic implications (not at all twilight-y!)  I have all of the books so far and am excited to read the next installment- something else I appreciate with this series is that 1. all the books cost the same amount (I hate it when authors periodically increases the price) and 2. that all the covers and design are consistent, so they look lovely on your bookshelf!


The second book I picked up was on a whim really, I liked the colours of the cover and the blurb sounded interesting. It's called The Hit by Melvin Burgess, it is supposedly about a new drug that gives you best week of your life at the cost of death at the end of it. I liked the sound of it and it was only £7.99 so I gave it a try. 

The last book I purchased was one that was recommended to me by a few people both in real life and online. It is Matched by Ally Condle, again set in a distopian world where your partners are chosen for you and your entire life is controlled by the government. I love books like this, which is why I thoroughly enjoyed the Hunger Games, the Maze Runner and Divergent series'.
