March TBR

So throughout February I set out to read four books, The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore, The Spanish Doctors Love Child by Kate Hardy and Pirate Tycoon Forbidden Baby by Janette Kenny. I read all four aswell as The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins. Which made me go straight out and by the last two. Which leads to me to the books I plan to read this month. 
Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins ( I've actually finished it now, I was a bit addicted lol)
Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
Death Of A Valentine - M.C.Beaton
Lament - Maggie Steifvater
Ballad - Maggie Steifvater

Lament by Maggie Stiefvater Giveaway

So on my youtube I'm giving away a copy of Lament by Maggie Stiefvater. Got to my youtube to enter, oh and I'll be doing a giveaway on my blog sometime in April.
 Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a painfully shy but prodigiously gifted musician. She’s about to find out she’s also a cloverhand—one who can see faeries. When a mysterious boy enters her ordinary suburban life, seemingly out of nowhere, Deirdre finds herself infatuated. Trouble is, the enigmatic and conflicted Luke turns out to be a gallowglass—a soulless faerie assassin—and Deirdre is meant to be his next mark. Deirdre has to decide if Luke’s feelings towards her are real, or only a way to lure her deeper into the world of Faerie.

Book Haul 1

So I recently purchased five books, and yes a lot of the times I judge a book by it's cover unless I've heard good reviews then the cover doesn't matter. So the first two I purchased were Lament and Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater. Now I've heard a lot about the Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy which I'm hoping to get soon but not such much about The Books Of Faerie. But I loved the cover for Ballad and I thought why not also the plot's intrigues me.
Lament: Deirdre, a gifted musician, finds herself infatuated with Luke, a mysterious boy who enters her life, at the same time she discovers she’s a Cloverhand—one who can see faeries. Trouble is, Luke is a faerie assassin—and Deirdre is meant to be his next mark.
Ballad:  In this sequel to Lament, faeries follow James and Dee to Thornking-Ash, where James struggles with his feelings for Dee and for the dangerous faerie muse, Nuala. When Halloween plunges both Dee and Nuala into danger, James finds he can only save one.

I was very excited to read Remember Me by Christopher Pike. I've heard so much about it plus it's kind of creepy which is something I don't really read. This book has all three stories in one. This is the first one. Shari Cooper hadn't planned on dying, but four floors is a long way to fall. Her friends say she fell but Shari knew she had been murdered. Making a vow to herself to find her killer, Shari spies on her friends, and even enters their dreams. She also comes face-to-face with a nightmare from beyond the grave. The Shadow - a thing more horrible than death itself - is the key to Shari's death, and the only thing that can stop her murderer from murdering again.

The Girl with the Glass Feet by Ali Shaw:  Strange things are happening on the remote and snowbound archipelago of St. Hauda’s Land. Magical winged creatures flit around the icy bogland, albino animals hide themselves in the snow-glazed woods, and Ida Maclaird is slowly turning into glass. Ida is an outsider in these parts who has only visited the islands once before. Yet during that one fateful visit the glass transformation began to take hold, and now she has returned in search of a cure. 

Love Story by Erich Segal:  The classic novel that spawned the hit 1970 film tells the story of rich Harvard jock Oliver Barrett IV and working-class Radcliffe student Jenny Cavilleri--how they are opposite in every way, how they share a love that defies everything, and how a love lingers in the heart now and forever. Now repackaged with an updated look for the 21st century.
