Book Haul

Long time no see. I hope you all are having a great day and that you forgive me for not posting for about 3 months now. I just haven't been feeling inspired lately, but I'll be doing an update post soon. But I think this is the first post of many to come. Because I've been going back and reading my previous posts, speacially those from the beginning of 2015, and I know that I was so happy at the time with this blog and that I was feeling so inspired to write and take pictures...that I want to feel like that again.

So for my first "come back" post, I thought on doing just a simple haul for you guys. Hope you all enjoy!

1-  Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

So, I got this book as a birthday present from one of my best friends. But funny story... My birthday was on July 18th and she only gave the book to me in the beginning of this year, cause she just totally forgot where she'd put it. Despite all that, I loved the gift of course, hadn't read it yet, cause I'm reading the Book Thief (that is the next book on this haul).

2-  The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

I've been eyeing this book for a while now. And after the movie came up and all the great movie and book reviews came along, I knew that I needed to read it. So I went to a local second hand bookstore to sell some of my old books, and of course buy some too. So I found a whole shelf of  The Book Thief books, with all of this different editions and covers. And so I picked the one that appealed to me most, and that was the movie cover.

3- An Adundance of Katherines by John Green

Well, I never thought that I would be so into John Green's books, but I have to say I'm obsessed. I didn't think that I would own the 4 major books that he wrote, I just had received some as birthday presents or bought them kind of accidently when I just need some light but fun read. 

I got this book at the same second hand bookstore as I got the previous book. And when I saw that it was the only one there, I knew that I had to get it. The white cover makes me just so happy. This is probably one of the most simple and pretty covers I have in my shelf.

So, I hope you all enjoyed the post and be sure that I'll be back,

thank you for reading,

Ana 

Birthday Haul

You probably already know, if you read my latests blog posts, that my birthday was last month and I turned 17. There wasn't a party or anything like that, because on the day of my birthday my grandfather wasn't feeling very well so we took him to the hospital. Thank God it was nothing, the doctor said that ir was just one of the side effects of one of the medications he takes.

 So the next day my mom and I decided to go out and celebrate my birthday. We went to this event that happens every year in my city. It is a two-week event that is all about dance and art. So there are a lot of dance presentations and dance attire that you can purchase. I needed to buy some new ballet clothes for this new semester, so I didn't see a better opportunity.

First thing I bought was a black 3/4 sleeve leotard. It is very nice quality and the fit is perfect, I love how the back is a lot more open. In my opinion leotards like these are so elegant. The next thing I purchased was light pink tights and a new pair of ballet slippers. I didn't inclued them here in this haul, because 1° the tights weren't that cute to take a picture of and 2° I'll be doing a review on my new ballet slippers after the first day of ballet class. So be prepared for a review on ballet shoes.

Next thing that I needed for ballet were skirts. I found these two beautiful skirts at the same store I bought my leotard. I just wanted some really bright skirts, so I chose a bright pink one and a flowered patterned yellow one. They are very comfortable. Last thing I purchased at the event were legwarmers. There was a sale happening in one of the stores, the deal was "3 pairs of legwarmers for 5 each", a pretty great deal here in Brazil. So I decided to buy some neutral pairs. My favorite one is the black one, it is just so soft.

Now for the book part. As I mentioned before, on my Paper Towns Movie Review, I would get this book as a birthday present from two of my best friends. So it happend. I'm very greatful for this book, after watching the movie I got very excited to read it. And this movie edition cover is just beautiful. And the second book in this haul I bought yesterday with some of the birthday money I got from my relatives. Confessions of a Shopaholic has been a book that I have been wanting to read for ages, bacause I love so much the movie. So I went to the book store and told myself that I was going to get this book. I don't no why, but I kept pushing it away. But this time I was determined. I was going to get the portuguese edition, but the american edition was a lot cheaper, so I think it was my lucky day. American books here in Brazil usually cost a lot more than the brazilian ones.

I hope you enjoyed this little post. Have a great week,

Ana
