Tara's Ginormous Book Haul! Part Two


Here's Part Two of my ginormous book haul.  
Why do I keep buying books?  
I don't have time to read all of them but I keep on buying them.  😨 

All the books below were purchased from Book Outlet during their awesome Boxing Day sale last year.  I got $45 off an order of $100 or more, so I made several orders.

Tara's Ginormous Book Haul! Part One


I have a ginormous book haul to share with you all.  I've acquired many, many, many books over the past few months.  Over 90 books!  Some were gifts or were bought using gift cards, and others I bought for myself.  Many of these books are young adult or middle grade because I'm basically a child in an adult's body.  😝 I love young adult fiction, middle grade fiction, and graphic novels.  No shame.  Below are 20 books from this huge haul.  There will be five of these posts since there are so many books to show you.

It Was My Birthday So I Bought A Ton Of Books Book Haul! Part 2: Books from Book Outlet


I love Book Outlet!  Below are some of the many books I purchased for my birthday, which was in September.  This is a very late post! 😳

Some of these books may still be available at www.bookoutlet.com

Please Note:  I think the prices I paid were from when they had a sale but their prices are still usually very good.

Nerd Blast: The Last Thing She Ever Did by Gregg Olsen ~Synopsis + Giveaway~



The Last Thing She Ever Did
by Gregg Olsen

Synopsis
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a psychological thriller exploring the things we dare to do when no one is looking . . .

The community along Oregon’s Deschutes River is one of successful careers and perfect families. For years, up-and-comers Liz and Owen have admired their good friends and neighbors, Carole and David. They appear to have it all—security, happiness, and a beautiful young son, Charlie.

Then Charlie vanishes without a trace, and all that seemed safe is shattered by a tragedy that is incomprehensible—except to Liz.

It took one fleeting moment for her to change the lives of everyone she loves—a heartrending accident that can’t be undone. Neither can the second-worst mistake of her life: concealing it. As two marriages crack and buckle in grief and fear, Liz retreats into her own dark place of guilt, escalating paranoia—and betrayals even she can’t imagine. Because there’s another good neighbor who has his own secrets, his own pain, and his own reasons for watching Liz’s every move.

And only he knows that the mystery of the missing boy on the Deschutes River is far from over.



Praise for THE LAST THING SHE EVER DID

“Gregg Olsen pens brilliant, creepy, page-turning, heart-pounding novels of suspense that always keep me up at night. In The Last Thing She Ever Did, he topped himself.” —Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author

“Beguiling, wicked, and taut with suspense and paranoia, The Last Thing She Ever Did delivers scenes as devastating as any I’ve ever read with a startling, pitch-perfect finale.

“Olsen's latest examines how a terrible, split-second decision has lingering effects, and the past echoes the present. Full of unexpected twists, The Last Thing She Ever Did will keep you guessing to the last line.” —J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Lie To Me

“Master storyteller Gregg Olsen continues to take readers hostage with another spellbinding tale of relentless, pulse-pounding suspense.” —Rick Mofina, international bestselling author of Last Seen

Mini Book Reviews: Geekerella, Deep Dark Fears, Breaking, A.D. After Death


Hi and welcome back to my book blog!  Here are four mini reviews of some books I've read this year.  I've decided to post mini reviews from now on because it takes me forever to write up a full book review and I just like short reviews better.  Plus, I have a ton of reviews to get posted and this way was just easier for me.  Anyway, keep reading for my thoughts on some books I've read recently.  😁

Disclosure: Some of these books were from publishers via NetGalley or Edelweiss for review.  This did not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.   Please excuse my horrible grammar.  English was not my best subject in school 😓.  This post contains affiliate links.  I'm an Amazon affiliate and if you make a purchase through one of my links I may receive a small commission.  Book photos/synopsis from Goodreads.  Graphic novel illustration from Image Comics website.  All thoughts, opinions, and crazy ramblings are my own.
