Book Edition & Mega Haul(Non-Bea!) #11 | Goodbye May, Hello June♥

I wanted to do this post every two weeks showcasing upcoming posts, recap, books I have read, book haul and other news!
It's inspired from Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, and the Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

It will be a combination of book haul and my personal reflections.

• May is almost over, Hello June. It's been three weeks since I last updated with my mid-monthly posts, the posts will too much so I will just highlight what were the most popular posts this May. Lots of books these past three weeks - I've already read some of these so I'll try including an update about the actual content of the book as well! Happy reading :)
• So this past week, I've been coughing a lot, it's not that bad but I'm not sure why I even started coughing out of nowhere. My summer classes are starting tomorrow which depresses me. They only last a month though & I only have two classes: German Fairy Tales & Statistics. The course name German Fairy Tales makes me laugh though, it sounds adorable still. I have heard you actually learn about the actual true gruesome fairy tales and not the romantic and inspiring ones on Disney in this course. I shall be sharing the new knowledge very soon! I'm going to be attending four times a week from 8:00 a.m to 1 p.m. I hate morning classes. Hopefully I graduate next spring so I'm excited for that!
• I didn't go to BEA 2015 even though I live in New York. I've never been there actually, but hey my book haul is still not bad, I get anxiety and paranoid in huge crowds and huge lines(not that serious) so let's see, maybe the next time they're held in New York - I will go. Everyone's haul is looking amazing though, I stalked them all - so many pretty books!
• I re-watched the movie Life of Pie with my siblings. I still find the book and movie amazing. I would really recommend it. I finally watched Avengers 2, I thought it was disappointing, and it sucked mostly. The ending left me hanging as well. I found the first movie much better.
• My birthday is coming up this Friday, I will be turning 22 years old, surprise surprise! I'm getting older by the day & people still refuse to believe I'm even 21.

Thank you to St. Martins Press/Griffin, Kate Publicity, Del Rey Books, and Bethany House for the review copies! I'm getting better at not requesting that many books now. A Good Family, Hearts Made Whole, Born of Defiance(a series of 8 books? Wow.. ) Uprooted(beautiful book & story 5/5!), and Brutal Youth are unsolicited copies meaning not requested.

• Rough Justice: Oh hey biker romance, my guilty pleasure! This should be good. I love how small the book is. This book size is actually one of my favorites.
• Hello, I Love You| What a beautiful book, this one will be popular. This is so much better than Anna and The French Kiss. 4/5
• Killer Within| I really enjoyed this one, I'm surprised how underrated this series is. I prefer this series over I Hunt Killers. 4/5
• Alive| Sounds like a cute, romance book, I have yet to read it.
• Crystal Kingdom| The finale of Frostfire, this should be good - gorgeous cover. Kudos to the fantastic cover designer!
• The Terminals| So excited to read this! The concept is amazing about terminally ill teens as spies. The setting reminds me of The Hunger Games, so this should be interesting.

I bought these three books. I had pre-ordered A Court of Thorns and Roses (3.5/5), and Saint Anything (3/5) about three months ago. I'm a bit disappointed I caved in when I have a three year physical book buying ban going on.. They were mostly good reads, but could have been better. I bought The Distance Between Us with my $10 Amazon giftcard I won from Iread Book Tours!

These are early birthday presents below from my friends! I actually choose which books I wanted, because I hate getting a book I might not like. 
I do like unexpected surprises though! I haven't read any of these yet.

I borrowed these books below from the library actually, I have to do a separate tag for them later, feeling lazy right now. I have read most of these already.

• The Hunger Games| I love the books, so I'm re-reading them again. I accidentally checked out Catching Fire twice, instead of Mockingjay - I'm a genius for sure *sarcasm intended* I still prefer the movies though. 4.5/5
• I Hunt Killers| I don't understand the hype of this series, it didn't interest me. 3/5
• Between The Lines | I renewed this one since I didn't get to finish it last time, the first half is amazing - the second half not so much. 3/5
• Shatter Me| I don't understand the hype of this series either, the love triangle makes me sick & it's all romance - amazing concept though. 1/5
• Where Stars Still Shine| Beautiful cover, the first 20% was really good, then it just went downhill. 1/5
• Snow White and The Huntsman| I loved the movie, the book fell flat for me. 3/5
• Daughter of Smoke & Bone| I DNF this book a couple of months ago, but I do want to give it another try. The covers are so gorgeous though.
• Life As We Know It & Panic| The concepts are intriguing, but I DNF these books. So boring. I'm disappointed because I heard so much about these books. 2/5
• Landry Park| Stupid characters especially that heroine, she was just so frustrating - not continuing this series at all. 1/5

These aren't all the books I have read this month though, I've read 24 books this month. Yes, I read a lot I know. The best book would be a tie between The Fill in Boyfriend and Stolen Songbird. The worst would be a tie between Nowhere But Here and The Heir.
