I just realised my blog turned three this week. Wow, that time went fast. It’s hard to think back to a time before I was blogging, before I was reading. The two pretty much coincide with each other. I only started reading (things other than uni textbooks) about six months before I started this blog, before then, I was a tv-show-on-dvd addict.
So…onto the book buying. I did a bit of shopping all around the place this time. I picked up The Rook, Backward Glass and Spellcaster from my local bargin-bin shop. I’d been a bit on the fence about starting Claudia Gray’s latest series, but finding it for a couple dollars sealed that decision. Even if I don’t end up loving the books, it was worth it to have these beautiful covers on my shelves.
Dark Heart Surrender was another one of my online purchases. I found it cheap, and needed it to finish off the trilogy, so I thought I’d better snatch it up while the price was low. As for Tiger’s Destiny, I’m not a big fan of the covers, but I heard good things a couple–maybe a few–years back and decided to start collecting them. So now I just pick them up whenever I come across them. It’s another one of those ‘one day’ series for me.
Here are some of my latest posts if you want to check them out:
Asher, Jay & Mackler, Carolyn, The Future of Us – Loved this book!
Carter, Ally Heist Society #1, Heist Society – Joey’s guest review
Westerfeld, Scott Uglies #1, Uglies – Thought I should finally start this series
That’s it for this time. So, what books have you gotten lately? Which of these books would you recommend I read first? Let me know in the comments.
Oh gosh, honestly I have seen SO many blogs celebrating their blog birthdays these last few weeks! Obviously it’s a popular time to start a blog, right?! Mine turns 3 in a few weeks…yay! Really excited. My StS!
Congrats on turning three! I think I find Backward Glass the most intriguing of these, I haven’t heard of that concept before. Nice to see it from a guy’s point of view, too.

Congratulations on three years! IT’s quite a commitment and you should be very proud 🙂
I have a problem with the Colleen Houck books. I can never find the first one anywhere. I have #2 and #3 but don’t want to read them out of order. The Claudia Gray books certainly are pretty. Interested to see what you think about the second one. I’ve only read the first and am curious how the series progresses. Have a great week 🙂
You should try QBD for Colleen Houck’s books. My local store has one of each book in the series there. They want about $17 for them, though 🙁
Wow, three years! Congratulations Brett, that’s an incredible achievement. You should do a highlights post of your favourites over that time. Favorite review, book haul, most memorable moment. Would love to read all about it.
Great haul, I’ve got a few Claudia Grey books on my shelves too, but haven’t got around to reading them just yet. Super interested to see what you think of them. She doesn’t strike me as a really popular author, so I’m a bit iffy about them as well.
I actually really loved Spellcaster, though I still have to buy Steadfast, but yup, they covers are gorgeous, though I really do hate the feel of the paperbacks. 🙁

Oh, the cover leaves me wanting to read Colleen Houch’s series even more! Hope you enjoy all these. Happy Reading!
Here are my newest additions.
The Rook and Tiger’s Destiny both look like they have really great covers- the latter especially looks like something you could just have as a piece of art on your bookshelf! I hope it ends up being a phenomonal read!
