This is a meme I have seen a lot on other blogs and I always found it to be an interesting read, so I want to participate too.
It was created by The Broke and The Bookish, if you want to participate take a look at their blog.
As you can see, this week’s theme are books that somehow came into my possession; bought, checked out of a library, arcs, gifts… you name it.
1. In the Afterlight (bought)
2. Never Fade (bought)
3. The darkest minds (bought) Review
4. A story of now (arc) Review
5. The Sherpherd and the Solicitor (arc)
6. To love a traitor (arc)
7. Dreams of Gods & Monsters (gift)
8. Days of Blood & Starlight (gift)
9. Daughter of Smoke & Bone (gift)
10. The Ambassador’s Mission (gift)
I know, a whole series as a gift? Was it my birthday? Nope. Do people randomly give me books? I wish. Imagine you’re walking somewhere and a person comes up to you and says ‘here, have this book. You might like it.’
This year my girlfriend and I decided to exchange books for our anniversary (we decided on a money limit) and I got the Daughter of Smoke & Bone series and other books. You have to love used bookstores, right? If you’re interested, I bought her two books of the In the darkest minds series (they were new, don’t look at me, she wanted hardcover and those are pricey). And yes, she read the first book and made me buy them myself and I’m really happy, because I love it.

The Daughter of Smoke and Bone is really good, though I’ve had the final book for a while and need to get around to reading it.

If you have read the first half of the book and you like it, maybe you should buy the second as soon as you can. Bad cliffhanger.
Yes, please do!

Books are something you can give someone whatever the occasion may be. They’re just great.
Congrats to your anniversary.

Aww that’s cute that you and your girlfriend gave books as gifts for your anniv! I LOVED Daughter of Smoke and Bone and it was one of my favorite reads the year it came out. I fell in love with Laini Taylor’s descriptions of Prague. I reread it a few months ago, right before visiting Prague, and it’s still as good as I remembered.

Honestly, I was never interested in Prague, because I knew next no nothing about it. But after reading the first book, I was sure, I need to visit Prague sometime.
Is it as interesting as it is described in the books?

Oh yes, definitely! Prague was beautiful and so charming. I have a few pictures in this post if you want to take a look. Even better than Prague was Cesky Krumlov.
