Books are expensive, most of us know the bittersweet feeling of having an empty bank account, but a full house of books. Which happens way too often in my case. So christmas is the perfect time to acquire new books without breaking the bank (cough thanks fam cough). I've wanted these books for ages, but I've gotten distracted by cheap sales and thrift shops #whoops and spent all of my money. Uh, I'll try and be better next year.
Damn. This book dragged me out of my soul sucking reading slump and dumped me into two days of non stop reading. Thank my lucky stars for weekends, and for long, uneventful Fridays.
I think I'm going to start a new blog series of me talking about my book biases. Not sure when or how regularly I'm going to post, but I just thought that I would let you know! Subconsciously, I think we all have a few biases when it comes to books. Like in those posts where people compare ebooks and real books, or where they compare standalone and series. Although most of those try to be as equal as possible! Generally having a bias is seen as a bad thing but in this case, it can really go either way.
A reality show in school? I'm worried enough about my grades now without having to worry about what countless, unnamed people over the interweb think of me. Although being a teenager, we tend to think that everyone's watching us anyway. This just kind of brings it to life!
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Technically, this book was released in February 2016. Realistically, I generally do all of my book purchasing on book depository and for some reason the paper back version of this is listed as a paperback. A paperback that comes out in 254 days. Yeah, I don't get it either.
I just read the first book and damn was it good (review coming on friday). Plus, there was a little snippet at the end. You know those pages that give you a sneak peek into the next book? One of those. I NEED TO KNOW. WHat happens? WHere is the boy (if you've read it you may know who I'm talking about. although maybe not. that was a bit vague). WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THOSE THREE MONTHS?????
The Rule of Mirrors
as of date posted avg. rating is 3.87
At the remote, exclusive Chimera Centre, families of coma patients come from all over the world seeking miracles. When Althea Flores wakes up from a six-month coma, her recovery defies the limits of hope and science—except she can’t remember anything about her own life. Instead, she has all the memories of Rosie Sinclair, the missing Forge Show star, and she’s pregnant.
Far from the Chimera Centre, in a secret vault, the sleeping body of Rosie Sinclair is captive to the doctors who mine her dreams. Heavily sedated, Rosie struggles to awaken and manipulate her keeper for a chance to escape. She knows what she’ll do once she’s free—wreak vengeance on Dean Berg, the man who stole her dreams and turned her life into a nightmare.
Told in alternating points of view between the girl who has Rosie’s consciousness in a new, pregnant body, and the girl whose shattered subconscious rules Rosie’s old body, the second installment of The Vault of Dreamers trilogy is an intricate, psychologically thrilling novel about layers of identity, what lies in the mirror, and the link between body and soul.
So what are you waiting on this Wednesday? Or any day of the week really. Leave a comment down below so we can chat about it! Sidenote, have you noticed how frequently I've been posting? I'm pretty proud of myself tbh. Previously I was posting like, once a month! Although saying that will probably jinx it*sigh*
