Book Hauling It Up (53)

Hey Everyone,

Hope everyone has had another wonderful week :)
Thanks for stopping by if you have!
And don't forget to leave the link to your haul!
I would love to check them out!

For Review
from the author
from author/publisher, but I thought I was getting an arc!

Library
Both are going back...
The lady who does Level 2 was annoying and the one for Dualed talking was TOO slow.
Like, whey are you talking so sssslllllloooooowwww!

Ebooks

Kindle Freebies
I'm really confused as to whether or not I need to read Ember since I read the original YA version not the NA.

    Woha you've gotten some really good books this week. First I noticed Water as I've just finished that series. Water was great for me :) Also the 5th Wave is high on my list! :) Great haul :)

      I've seen a couple of reviews of Water and the other books and when I saw it was free I had to snag it!

    I too was disappointed in Dualed but I did finish (nothing special) Enjoy The 5th Wave - I'm sure you've heard all the wonderful things that are being said about it.

      Since I didn't like the audio, I'm still not sure if I want to buy the actual book though! I've heard lots of mixed reviews on it...

    Thanks for stopping by my STS! I've been seeing Icons and the 5th Wave a ton this week. I heard a lot of people say they loved the 5th Wave so it should be a good one. Happy reading!

    Nice Haul. Yeah I know what you mean about the audio book narrator. That can affect my rating of a novel for the worst. So since you DNF in that format, do you plan to give it another shot via ebook or physical book?

      I do plan on giving both books a shot one day. I already have a copy of level 2 but haven't decided if I want to buy Dualed. I might see if my library has an actual copy of the book.

    The 5th Wave!! An Icons! So excited to get my hands on those pretties. I'm not so familiar with audio books, I did try, once but it was kinda awkward. Too bad you didn't enjoy yours. Thank you for stopping by our blog and have fun with all your pretties! Happy Reading!

      You got to find an audio whose voice is easy to listen to. I love listening to them, but if the narrator is annoying then I can't get into it ..

      So when a book is free on amazon, its not free in all countries? That SUCKS!

    That's too funny about your audio books :) I'm listening to Sweet Peril and Rebel Heart now and they are both amazing. Yeah for freebies :)

    Thats why I tend to stay away form audio books, most of the voices are just anyyoing. And it ends up ruining the book for me.

    The 5th wave sounds fantastic, I've got an egalley and can't wait to get started. I've heard mixed reviews for Icons - and now I'm more curious about it than ever.
