June 16th BookHaul

What's up reader peeps? I have another book haul for you today. I received one box of purchases from BookOutlet and I also perused a different Half Price Books for more anthropology finds. I was actually kind of disappointed in BookOutlet with this package because a lot of the books were bent, and I don't mean the paper backs. The hardbacks were bent too, and I'm like how do you even do that, but for all I know it was the shipping company so I am not going to dwell on it. The first book in my BookOutlet haul is Spindle's End by Robin Mckinley, and the second book also by Robin Mckinley is The Blue Sword. I have read both of these books before when I was in 6th grade, and I remember absolutely loving them which is why I have now purchased copies to keep. The other books I got are The Midnight Star by Marie Lu which is the third book in the young elites trilogy, A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by  Krystal Sutherland, The Siren by Kiera Cass, When Dimple met Rishi by Sandhya Menon, and Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones. Next up is my Half Price Books haul, and I got quite a few books on or by the Leakeys. If you do not know who the Leakeys are picture them as Anthropology royalty. First up is Origins: What New Discoveries Reveal About the Emergence of Our Species and its Possible Future by Richard E. Leakey and Roger Lewin. Then we have Origins Reconsidered: In Search of What Makes us Human by Richard Leakey and Roger Lewin, Disclosing the Past an Autobiography by Mary Leakey, Ancestral Passions: The Leakey Family and the Quest for Humankind's Beginnings by Virginia Morell, The Origin and Evolution: Readings in Physical Anthropology by Ashley Montagu, and Walking with the Great Apes - Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas by Sy Montgomery. If there is anything I have learned from buying these anthropology books, it is that a key feature of being a good anthropologist is writing a book with an extremely long title and sub-title combination. I can't wait to dive into these books, although with my TBR list it might be a while. I am not sure if anyone would be interested, but I will try and post my current TBR soon, so you guys can see what I could or could not read in the future. Anyways peace out and have a great weekend.

Book Review: Capturing the Devil

Image
What's up peeps? I don't know if you have yet to venture into the world of Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalo, or if you have already immersed yourself in the adventures of Audrey Rose and Thomas, but let me tell you this series has ended far too quickly for me. I recently finished the fourth and final book of the quadrology, Capturing the Devil , and this book is amazing. Between Maniscalo's eye for detail and her expertly executed plot twists, this book kept me on my toes the entire time. I was quite literally at the point where I would drop the book because I needed just a moment to either squeal into a pillow like a girl who just got asked out by her biggest crush, or cover my face in shame for the amount of empathy and emotions I felt for Audrey Rose and Thomas. This series has stolen my heart and nestled itself right near the top of the list containing my all-time favorite book series. It has murder and mayhem, mysteries, plot twists, diversity, and romance.

O M G!

I JUST FINISHED ELIZA AND HER MONSTERS AND OMG IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING. I wish I could forget everything I read and read it again just so I could experience it all over. I loved the authors writing style, and it was one of the most relatable books I have ever read in my life. Well relatable for me I have no idea if it would be relatable for you guys. But I loved it so much. It covers some really important topics too like anxiety, depression, and suicide. I think Zappia covers them in a really masterful way. Zappia doesn't only focus on them and lose the story, but she masterfully weaves the problems into her story through her characters lives giving a good message on how to deal with these mental issues. I rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I was enamored with it the whole way through and would definitely recommend it. I plan on checking out the rest of Zappia's books as well which are Children of Hypnos which is a story she writes on WattPad and Made You Up. Also I really want
