BIRTHDAY BOOK HAUL || MONSTERS & MARIE LU + CAKE.

It feels like I haven’ t blogged in in ages…. IT’S BEEN THREE DAYS. . .

And yes… it was MY BIRTHDAY. NOW EVERYONE BOW AND WORSHIP ME NOW. 

In traditional Cake Queen fashion, I ate a LOT of cake, cake, and more really scrummy cake. . . CAN YOU BLAME ME? What else was I meant to eat…? Veg-i-tables????? Erm no thanks, what even are they??? I SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN. 

SO YES. I actually had a wonderful birthday ad it was my sister’s birthday the day before (14th)! Which I hatteeeee because for ONE day she’s FOUR years older than me and I feel like I should be hating this. #IWantRevenge*. My dad also came up to see us from CORNWALL on the Saturday (my sister’s birthday) and we went Go-karting and HA I BEAT MY SISTERRRRRRRRR. #CompetitiveFamilyKarting.**

THE CAKE THO.

*what is this about. **WE ARE ALL SO COMPETITIVE.

SOOO I got lots of money, which was super generous of my family / family friends and I actually used this to buy TWO (so I would have bought MORE but I thought… I may need other actual things [I know I only need books to survive what am I saying???] so I should save money??? But this just sounds like nonsense. . . ) of the books in this haul. OKAY. NOW TECHNICALLY*  there are FOUR books in this haul… BUT my mother knows how much I read, so she’s keeping one HOSTAGE for a MONTH to make sure that I don’t read them super fast. Pfftttt like I would do that… BUT HOW DARE SHE KEEP MY FUTURE CHILD FROM ME???? UNBELIEVABLE!!

I don’t understand how she could do this.

*BC WE ALL KNOW THAT I AM HIGHLY TECHNICAL…

  1. HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAY. 💕🎉 And ummm how dare you??? It’s MARIE Lu, not Mary Lu. Smh I can’t believe this.

    ANYWAYS those are ALL great books and I loved them so so much. You will love Enzo in the first book but not so much later on!! Oh and fyi the third book of TYE made me cry and I’ve only cried over 4 books. Have funnnnnn.

    WARCROSS WAS SO GOOD I HATE MARIE LU FOR ALL THE EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION SHE HAS MADE ME EXPERIENCE (in… all of her series???).
