I'd Tell you I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter
Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter

Heist Society by Ally Carter
Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Starter for Ten by David Nicholls

{ Thoughts }

So I went a bit Ally Carter crazy this week. I already had book one of the Gallagher Girls so I went about looking for the rest of the series in the library/charity shop. I also won a giveaway on Young Readers At Home and received a copy of Perfect Scoundrels (woo) so I went to get the first two heist society books out of my school library. My charity shop always has awesome books and they're 99p each and this week I picked up The Count of Monte Cristo which is MAHOOSIVE so that was a really good deal. I read Bleak House by Dickens which was similarly long and it took me an age so I probably won't ever finish this book. I think I also got some ebooks for review but I've already forgotten which ones (memory of a goldfish). 

What did everyone else get this week? Let me know in the comments below! :)

(Also I just finished The Fault in Our Stars - omg. skdhfkasfhgkagfahfdgahgkfdhadkghadbkabdkfaqwkhvakcbkashgakyghahjsfv)

    I love charity shops. It's awesome to find cheap books :D The count of Monte Cristo is HUGE. I haven't read anything from Carter, but the books sound okay. Happy reading! :D

    Thanks for stopping by my haul!

      I know right! Carboot sales are another good place to check out for books. The problem is that they're so tempting I've bought faaaar too many of them :(

    Gallagher Girls! Woo!!!! That is one of my favourite series of all time, and Ally Carter is such a brilliant author. I still need to try her new series, Heist Society, though. Hopefully it's as phenomenal as GG. :)

    Oh my gosh, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the biggest books I've ever seen! That would take me sooooo long to get through. I hope it is interesting and holds your attention throughout. :)

    Enjoy all of your beautiful new books! I'll be looking forward to your reviews. :)

    By the way - JGVERHBJWKEBSFSF The Fault in our Stars was freaking amazing!!!!!! I'm still trying to write a review for it, but it's so hard because all I want to do is fangirl!

      Ooh yay! Nice to hear good things about this series. People seem to be pretty obsessed with her series aha

      I know!! I only picked it up because I want to do French at uni so I'm trying to plough through lots of translations haha

      Me too!! After I finished reading it I just rolled around in my bed for a while!

      Thanks for stopping by :)

    I love stocking up on series so you can have a god reading binge. Nothing like getting lost in a world for a few weeks.

      I totally agree! I've just flown through the entire Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz and I've found that going through a series book by book is probably better than reading each book and waiting a year for the sequel!

    Wow, so many Ally Carter books! I have only read the first two books of the Gallagher Girls series but they are fantastic. I really want to read Heist Society, especially with the 3rd one recently being released. Happy reading! :)

      Me too! I can't really get my head around the concept of the books though so I guess I'll have to read them to find out...
