July Book Haul

So, this month was my birthday and I also went to an awesome bookshop called Charlie Byrne’s. Anyway, they have an amazing selection and whilst I showed restraint, my bank account didn’t come out completely unscathed. So yeah, I got some books and let’s talk about them.

 Shadows and Oblivion  both by J. L Armentrout

         

                                        

These are both add ons to the Lux series which I have been marathoning and want to get done before the end of August for sure. Shadows follows Dawson and Bethany and how they came to be a couple I believe and Oblivion is Obsidian from Daemon’s perspective. I can’t wait to get my teeth into them.

Rumple Buttercup by Matthew Gray Gubler

                                               

So this is a picture book and from what I know Rumple lives in a sewer with his imaginary friend. I love Matthew Gray Gubler, I think his sense of humour is really funny. I’ve loved him as an actor for so long that I’m excited to see his work as an author.

Some Kind of Wonderful by Giovanna Fletcher

                                              

This about a woman called Lizzy and her going through a breakup. She learns what ways dating Ian changed her and who she is , not as Ian’s partner anymore. I got this book from a friend and it seems like a really good summer read and so I think I wanna read It before the end of August for sure.

 City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert

                                              

Another book a friend gave me that I think is perfect for summer is City of Girls. Its set in 40s New York and Vivian and Celia are on some sort of adventure. I just think it’ll be a light read which feels like the perfect distraction to the current goings on in the world.

On Writing by Stephen King

                                                   

Long story short I’m always writing so my parents thought this would be a good idea. I am always looking to improve my skills so I’m excited to see what the king of horror has in terms of tips and tricks.

 

Joy Ride by  John Lahr

                                    

So I study theatre and thought this book would be useful to pick up. Its essentially a bunch of interviews with playwrights, directors and productions. They’re all conducted by John Lahr a renowned theatre theatre critic. I thought maybe there would be some advice in the interviews on how to put on a successful performance.

The Faith Machine by Alexi Kaye Campbell

                                                   

The final book is a play of a New York couple who move to a remote Greek Island and their journey on it. Not gonna lie I watched Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia 2 a day before buying this and was lusting after Greece. O yes impulse buy but it was €5 and I couldn’t leave it.

So yeah that was my book haul. It wasn’t meant to brag it was just to give an idea of what might be coming up on the blog.
