E-Book Haul: Part- 3/ E-Books of June 2014.

I really should do more eBook hauls, because I sure do buy a lot more than I ever share on the blog.

These book I have acquired in the last month and some in the last few days. Some for my Kindle and some for my iPad. Lately, I've really enjoyed reading on my iPad, the battery life is shit but the screen size and retina display just make me very happy.

Some of these books I've already read- Merciless, Inland, Say Her Name and Everything Leads to You and will be reviewing them over the next few days. The rest I am very excited to read.

Mr. Mercedes- Stephen King- I cannot wait to read this. I am saving this for a dark, rainy day to get maximum thrills out of it. Plus, I really want to read more of Mr. King's work.

Merciless- Danielle Vega- YA horror/torture novel.

Love Letters to the Dead- Ava Dellaira

Inland- Kat Rosenfield

Say Her Name- James Dawson

Everything Leads To You- Nina LaCour

What The Dead Know- Laura Lippman- my sister just finished reading this last night and might review it soon.

American Wife- Curtis Sittenfeld - I have heard phenomenal things about this book and I cannot wait to read it.

Happy Reading guys. And have a wonderful weekend!
