Heya!!!!
So Bookhaul time :)))
So if you have checked out my last blogpost which was a recap of PTALive Melbourne, you'll know that I gotten some books from bookworld since it was discounted.
I purchased 3 books and in the show bag we were given a new released book for free!
Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek
by
Maya Van Wagenen
Stuck at the bottom of
the social ladder at pretty much the lowest level of people at school
who aren’t paid to be here,” Maya Van Wagenen decided to begin a unique
social experiment: spend the school year following a 1950s popularity
guide, written by former teen model Betty Cornell. Can curlers, girdles,
Vaseline, and a strand of pearls help Maya on her quest to be popular?
The real-life results are painful, funny, and include a wonderful and unexpected surprise—meeting and befriending Betty Cornell herself. Told with humor and grace, Maya’s journey offers readers of all ages a thoroughly contemporary example of kindness and self-confidence.

So we were all given a copy of this at PTA Live and what's interesting about this is that its a non-fiction book about a girl who finds a 1950's popular guide and uses it for a "social experiment". What's really cool about the book is that the author is still in High School!
I am definitely looking forward to reading this!
Side Effects May Vary
by
Julie Murphy
Written from the perspectives of both Harvey and Alice, in Side Effects May Vary, Julie Murphy weaves a compelling story of friendship, relationships and love, with a little bit of death thrown in for good measure; at least for a while.
When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs. So she convinces her best friend Harvey, who's loved her forever, to help with compiling a crazy just-dying-to-do bucket list, that's as much about revenge as it is about redemption. But just when Alice's scores are settled, she goes into remission. Now she must face the consequences of all she's said and done and discover just what happens when we say our 'final' words, only to find that life isn't through with us yet.
Sharp, witty and poignant - this is a book written for all ages
Okay so this is the only book I had in mind when i went for PTA Live
When i first heard about this from book reviewers who gotten ARCs for this and saw the title, one thing came into my mind ...
TFIOS ANYONE???
I have just started reading this and from the first few chapters IT IS VERY DIFFERENT from TFIOS but in a good way.
Muahahaha *sorry Steph :P

"One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. All the time."
The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, messy, affectionate. And every day from her rooftop perch, Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs up next to her and changes everything.
As the two fall fiercely for each other, stumbling through the awkwardness and awesomeness of first love, Jase's family embraces Samantha - even as she keeps him a secret from her own. Then something unthinkable happens, and the bottom drops out of Samantha's world. She's suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?
A transporting debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another

The moment I step into PTA Live, gotten an seat, rush down to the bookworld table to brows trough the selection of bookk, my heart jump when i saw this as i heard A Lot of good things about this!!
Some of my fav booktubers rave highly about this book so i decided to get myself a copy.
Also it was only $10 which was cheaper than what I was expecting to pay.
Just One Day (Just One Day #1)
by
Gayle Forman
From the New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay
Allyson Healey's life is exactly like her suitcase—packed, planned, ordered. Then on the last day of her three-week post-graduation European tour, she meets Willem. A free-spirited, roving actor, Willem is everything she’s not, and when he invites her to abandon her plans and come to Paris with him, Allyson says yes. This uncharacteristic decision leads to a day of risk and romance, liberation and intimacy: 24 hours that will transform Allyson’s life.
A book about love, heartbreak, travel, identity, and the “accidents” of fate, Just One Day shows us how sometimes in order to get found, you first have to get lost. . . and how often the people we are seeking are much closer than we know.
I really want to read Gayle Forman books and the first one i saw was "Just One Day" so during the intermission i picked it up.
Will get the sequel "Just One Year" if I enjoy it but I am hitting myself in the head for not getting "It I Stay" which from what I heard is also turned into a movie.
