The Book Voyagers

And today I just saw Liv's April Book Haul post and I really wanted to do one too! So def this came from being inspired by Liv. (I highly recommend checking out Liv's blog too!) So this is a end of the month book haul I guess and I'm just going to mentions books I've bought/been gifted and ARCs (mainly e-galleys) that I got an approved for email.

Hi guys! This is Sil with this month's wrap-up post. A week ago I came back to my hometown aka Cancun to spend the summer holidays with my parents. I could only bring two books *cries* AND (!!!) I found out that same day I left Puebla some packages arrived for me. *yes* book mail!! I won't see them until August sadly and I'm pretty sure what they are and I'm so sad but that's what I got lmao.

#1 THE ART OF LAINEY by Paula Stokes + lots of beautiful swag!


Paula did a contest for her newest YA contemporary book, GIRL AGAINST THE UNIVERSE, and I got second place!!! It was so great and fun. Paula does amazing contests so you guys should enter them always hah. I won The Art of Lainey by her and she sent me lots of swag as well. I designed for her a sticker for GATU and she sent those to me too! You can see them in the pic.

Thanks, Paula! I cannot wait to start TAOL too :)









#2 THE ROSE AND THE DAGGER by Renée Ahdieh

I finally got one of my most anticipated sequels + final book for 2016. The Rose & The Dagger is beautiful and everything I have wanted in a final book. I can't believe Shazi and Khalid's story ended but gosh I will for sure reread this duology so many times.

Totally will get The Wrath and the Dawn paperback soon because *gosh* it's such a beautiful and pretty book. I love the cover + one more copy of one of my favorite series in the world is perfect hah!

#3 DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige

I got Dorothy Must Die at the airport. I have been interested to starting this series because I totally love retellings. I know it is a twist-y way to retelling The Wizard of Oz because if I am correct, Dorothy went evil and now she reigns in terror in Oz? Enter this new girl who suddenly comes into Oz to save the world. 

It sounds super cool and hope it is! I've heard good things from fellow bloggers so I'm keeping my mind opened.









#4 UNICORN TRACKS swag by Julia Ember

I also received an envelop with Unicorn Tracks swag. Thank you so much Julia! Everything was super gorgeous and pretty. I can't take a picture because as I said already I'm not home :/ But know that Julia is so kind and her swag is 1000% beautiful. If you haven't read Unicorn Tracks, you totally should do it. We recently published the Diverse Books Tag and you can see there what Unicorn Tracks is about. Of course we also have our review here: x

Hey, guys. Silvana here again coming back to show you what sort of bookish stuff I got this month + other stuff! This month I went to this author event in Mexico City and walked away with lots of cute and great things + BOOKS (and signed!!!) The best day ever. I met Zoraida Córdova, author of The Vicious Deep series and On the Verge series (New Adult). I also got to meet wonderful Eric Smith and Adi Alsaid.

#1 NEMESIS by Anna Banks

I won a giveaway Anna Banks was doing on her twitter (@ByAnnaBanks) and she was giving away posters of her newest book, Nemesis! The cover is so pretty and the synopsis really interests me. The poster is beautiful and shiny, I loved it! Thanks Anna for this.













#2 THE VICIOUS DEEP + ON THE VERGE series by Zoraida Córdova

I'm so so excited to finally having the On the Verge series in paperback. It still feels too unreal!!! They're so perfect and I totally love them. If you like New Adult and want a fun, cute and sexy read, you should pick them up. 

I bought the first of Zoraida's YA series because I have never read them and I want to finally dive myself into them (wink, see what I did there? LOL). So what I know of this book is that it's about mermans and ocean and yeah. It sounds really good!

And Z gave me these cute pins that say LUCK LOVE LIFE and represent her NA series. They're so unbelievable cute.



#3 LET'S GET LOST by Adi Alsaid

I also bought Adi's debut novel, Let's Get Lost. I have never read it! (If you have, tell me in the comments what you thought??) So yeah I got this and he was kind enough to sign it for me *hugs* He's also really nice and from Mexico, so that's like super cool!! 

I also really like that cover and the color palette. 











#4 THE GEEK'S GUIDE TO DATING by Eric Smith + some goodies

Look at all these colorfulllllness. Erick Smith was gifting posters of his books and omg they're so gorgeous I want to cry. He also was kind enough to sign them and gah I can't wait to put them up my wall because they will look super fancy and perfect. 

And he also had his non-fiction book, The Geek's Guide to Dating, and I have no clue what this is about but it's so cute and little and the cover is adorable. Plus I already looked inside and I love the editing in this and all the drawing and the format!! It's really adorable.

Hey, guys. Silvana here again coming back to show you what sort of bookish stuff I got this month + other stuff! This month I got three books I bought, one I already read and the other two have been in TBR for a while. I'm pretty excited to get to read them soon (hopefully sooner rather than later!).


#1 THE ABYSS SURROUNDS US by Emily Skrutskie

I got the honor to read an ARC of this book back in January. In fact, this one was my first 2016 read and let me tell you IT'S SO GOOD. 2016 started off with a good book.

Emily Skrutskie built a diverse story with scary monster battles, a pirate queen, a monster trainer and a ship *wink* that you will root for until the very end!










#2 SNOW LIKE ASHES by Sara Raasch

I've heard great stuff about Snow Like Ashes and when I went to the bookstore with Maf from @Bookwormwanders, I was between two books but ended up choosing this one. I'm always down and ready for a new fantasy world to get into. And I'm definitely ready for this one!













#3 CAM GIRL by Leah Raeder

SURPRISE SURPRISE! I just got this yesterday. I was waiiiiiiting all month for it and got so happy when I got the email that it had been shipped. I'm like so excited for this book especially because the MC is Latina??? YAAAAS. My heart is already in love. And also I'm pretty intrigued by the cam girl job and it's actually really interesting to know about. 

Hit me with the feels soon please.

Hello, voyagers! I'm Sil here to show you what I've gotten this month as in book-related things {+ other goodies}! February was such a good month and I'm so sad to see it go - can't believe we're like two days from March?!!? We held our Valentine's Day event which we L O V E D doing and so happy you guys did too! And all the books releasing this month were also pretty good.

So I'm here showing you guys my book haul and book mails I got recently. Some of them I bought, some of them I won and others were kindly sent to me by friends!

#1. ARC of GIRL AGAINST THE UNIVERSE by Paula Stokes

The kind and wonderful Dahlia Adler - *cough* if you haven't read her books, do it! - made my day when she told me she was going to send me her ARC of GAtU! This is one of my most anticipated 2016 reads and it seems like it's going to be so much fuuuuun. I'm so ready for the fluffy and the cuteness.

And the book swag is so cute! I didn't expect them and when I opened the first page I was so happy to find them there (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ I've already read Marieke's book and absolutely loved it! Of course I already read Just Visiting (one of my favorite books!). Now I have to check out Liars and Losers Like Us, it sounds amazing and super fun.





#2. LONG WAY DOWN by Krista and Becca Ritchie + tank top!


Krista and Becca are the nicest, kindest, the most amazing people I know. They write these NA books called the Addicted series and we are all *whispers* addicted to them. LONG WAY DOWN is the last book of the series and it's so frigging huge! It's beautiful and I just love everything about this book a lot. Thank you so much for sending it to me guys <3

They also sent me this Shut the Fucupcakes tank top that Daisy Calloway, a character in their books, uses one time. I completely adore it and the fabric is just super soft and I don't ever want to take it off? The colors are cuteeeee and it's my new fave.


#3. THE ROSE SOCIETY by Marie Lu.


I bought this one not long ago. I read and loved The Young Elites and really wanted TRS asap. When I found it in my local bookstore, I almost screamed and took it. I couldn't believe they had it so early AND IN PAPERBACK? It matches my pb of TYE so I'm a happy watermelon.


#4. MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED by Jennifer Echols.


I also bought this one (+  my order of TASU who hasn't arrived yet *cries*) but this one got earlier! A couple of days ago after finishing another book, I looked at this one and thought: I want to read this right now. So I totally did and finished it in hours after. It was so cute and perfect. Jennifer writes so well and she transported me back to high school <3





#5. THE VIRGIN'S SPY by Laura Andersen.


The author, Laura Andersen, did a flash giveaway on Twitter and I was lucky enough to get this one! I love, love, love her Boleyn series and her characters are just so amazing and the story is magical. I'm a sucker for historical fiction but I'm a big sucker for well-written, great investigated historical fiction book. Laura Andersen describes us life at court of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. But now it's their children ruling!!! THE TUDOR LEGACY is her newest series about Elizabeth Tudor and her reign - if you like historical fiction and lies and epic love stories and kings and queens, I recommend you to pick it up!
