Thrifting ♥: books haul

Next Friday is my office's Christmas party so I went to the thrift store to see what I could find to go with my dress. I didn't find anything at the two locations I went to and ended up shopping my own closet.

As for the books, I was much more successful and, as a bonus, they were 40% 😆

- Horror Stories by Bram Stoker. I only now of Dracula but when I saw this books, I just had to get it. The colors on the cover are halfway gone from manipulation, I think but everything else looks in good condition and that's awesome. It's a compilation of Gothic horror short stories that I cannot wait to sink my teeth into.

- Steampunk by Jeff VanderMeer. I love steampunk so much that, when I saw this, I had no other choice but to grab it. It's an anthology of short stories introducing the reader to what steampunk is through different approaches.

- The Magicians by Lev Grossman. There is just something about witches, wizards and magical worlds that draw me in so when I saw this, I had to get it.

- The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. I've heard so much about it. And I'm also pretty interested in the movie adaptation of it but I wanted to read the book first. Now I can. Fun fact: I have found Never Fade at the thrift store last night but didn't buy it in case I don't like The Darkest Minds.

- The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. What about a little adult romance to clean my palate? I like the simple yet fun cover of this. I don't have a lot to say about this but I thought it looked fun.

- Simon VS the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. I heard a ton of good things about this one as well. I have gotten the movie a few months ago but have yet to watch it. Now I can read it before I watch.

What am I currently reading? I have about 3 hours left for Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman. Over the weekend, a ghost played it all behind my back so I had to go back in the last chapter I was at to continue it. I will also be finishing Chosen by Kiersten White during my week's vacation next week.

Let's talk.
