#Booktoberfest Haul!

I suddenly remembered about my recent book purchases -- so here I am.

Bookoutlet has great discounted prices for books, and during the month of October, they run an event called "Booktoberfest" where they have an additional 15% off everything... So, naturally, I thought this would be a good time to pick up some fresh titles.
It had been a while since I actually bought physical books for my bookshelf. :)

The books I bought are:

"Walk on Earth a Stranger" by Rae Carson. -- I actually already read this one (see previous posts), but that was on my kindle, as a borrowed copy. Now I have a physical copy that I can re-read whenever. (It is one of my favourite reads of this year.)

"These Shallow Graves", and "Deep Blue" by Jennifer Donnelly -- I have read a book by Jennifer Donnelly - "A Northern Light" which I remember really liking (I read it maybe 4 years ago).

"The Distance Between Lost and Found" by Kathryn Holmes

"Rebel of the Sands" by Alwyn Hamilton

"Wild Beauty" by Anna-Marie McLemore

"Daughter of the Pirate King" by Tricia Levenseller

"Weathering" by Lucy Wood

"Brightwood" by Tania Unsworth

"Hotel for the Lost" by Suzanne Young

"Mist of Midnight" by Sandra Byrd

The majority of these I found by scrolling through the fiction section on the bookoutlet website. I only had  "Rebel of the Sands" and "Mist of Midnight" on my 'to-be-read' list prior. The rest will be a surprise. Hopefully they are all good reads!

I am familiar with Jennifer Donelly, and Suzanne Young (I realized after purchasing that I have read a couple of books written by her -- "The Program" and "The Treatment" -- years ago). Sandra Byrd is a familiar name as I had Mist of Midnight on my list for a while now, but I have not read anything by her yet.

A number of these are on the spookier side, so I think I'll start by reading those, it being the end of October and all. :)  Look for a "spooky reads" book review in the near future!
