Bought:

• The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen (Bought at Goodwill. I was good and only bought one book this week. When I saw this at Goodwill, I couldn't resist picking it up.)

Free:

• Early Literacy: The Empowerment of Technology by Jean M. Casey (I found this on the free bookshelf at college. I hope to do something someday to help improve children's literacy rates, so I figured this might be useful.)
• Concepts of Chemical Dependency by Howard E. Doweiko (I got this from the free bookshelf at college. I have always found addiction a fascinating subject to study.)
• Guide to Writing in the Disciplines by Robert W. Jones (I'm hoping this will help to improve my writing.)

• Amanda Weds a Good Man by Naomi King (I found this on the free bookshelf at my library, and picked it up for my mom, who loves Amish stories.)
• Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah (I found this on the free bookshelf at my library. I've always wanted to read a Kristin Hannah book, so I figured I would pick it up and give it a try.)
• Chemical Dependency by Brenda L. Underhill (I found this on the free bookshelf at college. This kind of goes along with Concepts of Chemical Dependency.)

Library:

• Grief Girl by Erin Vincent (This was on the YA Recommendations self, so I decided to try it.)
• After by Anna Todd (Aprilius Maximus on booktube rants and raves about how much she loves this series, so I decided to give it a go.)
• Soulstice by Simon Holt (I read the first book last year, and thought it was okay. I decided to pick up the second from the library because I usually try to finish series/trilogies.)

• Rat Queens by Kurtis J. Wiebe and Roc Upchurch (I feel like everyone but me has read this graphic novel. It sounds like it will be something I like.)
• This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki (I've been hearing great things about this on booktube lately.)
• Hands Off by Katsumoto Kasane (I just finished this, and really did not like it.)

• Game of Thrones Graphic Novel: Volume 2 by George R.R. Martin (I read this and loved it. Big Surprise. :P )
• Batman: Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison and Dave  McKean (I'm slightly obsessed with Batman. I can't wait to read this.)
• Ms. Marvel: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona (I've already read this. I thought it was just okay.)

Won/Gifted

• Marrow by Tarryn Fisher (Thank you to Tarryn's PLNs)
• Fisher's Light by Tara Sivec (Thank you to Tara's Tramps)

Whew, that is it for my book haul this week. I intended to get less books this week, but you see how well that worked out. Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think? Are you looking forward to reading any of these? If so, please let me know which ones. Also, if you would like me to review any of the non-review books, please let me know. I would also love to see what books you received this week. I hope everyone had a good week, and has a great week to come.
