I always wanted to do one of those book hauls I keep seeing on Book Tube :) Therefore, this is what I'm doing now!
I really do love reading book, even more now that I don't have time to read as much as I would like to and that I don't really have to read.
In March I've started 2 new series: "Divergent" & "Mortal Instruments" and read a really cool Romanian novel called "All the owls" by Filip Florian.
First off, the "Divergent" series by Veronica Roth. Most people compare it with "The Hunger Games" and I tend to agree. In this case, we don't have 12 Districs but 5 Factions. The 1st book was all about getting to know the characters personalities, the main traits of every faction. The 2nd book, Insurgent was more intense. It is a very light read, you will love it if you are into YA, dystopian books.
When my friends saw the cover of the book they though I only bought it because of the owls. So wrong! Filip Florian is one of my favorite Romanian writers because his novels always cheer me up and are incredibly well written! Owls are a recurring symbol in this book. The story is written from 2 perspectives: a child's and his new friend, an elderly person that teaches him everything he know about books and life. This book was so good that one of my teachers actually caught me reading it during class. I know, it was embarrassing!
The last book from my March Haul is City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I started this just to see what all the fuss is about and I was surprised that I actually liked it. I think you can compare it with Buffy - The Vampire Slayer, except that - and this is the tricky part for some - it is not that much about vampires. The plot involves: love - as all Fantasy books nowadays, loyalty, friendship, the eternal fight between good and evil. So, if you are looking for something to read for fun this is the book for you!
I hope this was helpful in a way and maybe you will start reading one of these books.
Have fun reading!
