Book haul

If you know me, you know I don't read much 'girly' books. Not a fan of those dramatic high-life novels. I'd definitely prefer fiction books about forbidden romance, weird creatures and solving mysteries (which totally doesn't improve or increase my intelligence..it only feeds my imagination. but what's life without imagination RIGHT? lol) . Went to MPH and bought 5 books for myself to fill my time while I'm still on holiday. Only done reading one, but will probably finish reading all of them before next sem starts. Hehe ^^

*TADAAAAAA! See! got my name! Belle! :D*

SOMETHING STRANGE & DEADLY
"The dead are on her heels. Her life is on the line. And time is running out. After her father dies and her brother mysteriously goes missing, Eleanor Fitt is left to deal with her family's declining financial state. And with her controlling mother trying to marry her off, 16 yrs old Eleanor doesn't think could get more complicated. But that changes when the Dead starts walking. Desperate to solve the mystery of her brother's disappearance, she ventures into the private lab of the elusive Spirit-Hunters. Always a social misfit, Eleanor finally feels at home among the intelligent Joseph, fiesty Jie and extremely stubborn yet gorgeous Daniel."

BELLES
 "Raised in a run-down house on the wrong side of the tracks in North Carolina, Isabelle Scott has always loved her less-than-charmed-life by the beach. But when the grandmother she lives with needs to move into a nursing home, a social worker places her with a politically prominent long-lost uncle and his preppy, privileged family. Unfortunately, inserting her into the glamorous lifestyle of Emerald Cove isn't going too well. Her cousin Mirabelle isn't thrilled to share her life with an outsider, and in addition to dealing with all the backstabbing that lurk beneath their classmate's Southern charm, a secret is unfolding that will change their lives forever."

*totally bought it cause the front cover looks pretty with my name on it. haha...
not my usual cup of tea but hope I'll have fun reading it!*

HALO
" Three angels are sent by Heaven to bring good to a world falling under the influence of darkness: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer and Bethany, the youngest and most human. They work hard to conceal their luminous glow, their superhuman powers and their wings. Then Bethany meets Xavier woods, and the two are unable to resist their attraction to each other. But the angles' mission is urgent, and dark forces are threatening. Will love ruin Bethany or save her?"

HAGWITCH
Myth. Magic. Secrets. Theatre.

*that is exactly what is written behind where the summary of the book should be ._. 
not even a sentence yet it seems pretty interesting to me!*

TOWERING 
 " I watch the birds fly below, the clouds float above, and the tall, green forest stretch to places I might never see. Mama, who isn't my mother, has kept me hidden away for many long years. My only companions, besides Mama, are my books - great adventures, mysteries and romances I long to make my reality. But I know that no one will come to my rescue. Recently, my hair has started to grow rapidly and it's now long enough to reach the bottom of  the tower from my window. I've also had the strangest dream of a beautiful green-eyed man. When Mama isn't around, I plan my escape, even if it's just for a little while. There's something - maybe someone - waiting for me on the other side."

So far I've only finish reading this book! It's not the usual Rapunzel story we all know about, but rather, there's an unexpected modern element to it. Wyatt (the gorgeous green-eyed man) was destined to find Rachel (her) and help her break the rhapsody curse (drugging issue in the town). I like how the author goes from one character's thought into another's so smoothly. There's also a mystery to what happened to Danielle (Rachel's birth mother) and who is actually 'Mama'. If you're a Disney fan like I'm, you'd like this book :)

That's all for today! Will update on my tour to Phuket!
