Hey everyone! I quickly want to apologize for not posting yesterday and posting late today. I’ll try to do better! Today I am doing a Library Book Haul. This haul will consist of 4 books: 2 Young Adult and 2 Tween. I got these books at the library on Saturday Let’s get started!

Click on the separate book covers to go to their Goodreads page

The After-Room (The Apothecary #3) by Maile Meloy-Tween

I love this book series! The first two books were amazing and I’m looking forward to this one. There won’t be a review since it’s a Tween book.

2.Counting Thyme by Melanie Conklin-Tween

This book sounded amazing! It’s based around a girl and her family.They have to move so her brother can try out a new cancer drug trial. I bet it’ll be great. There won’t be a review due to the genre.

3. Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella-Young Adult/Teen

I’m finally reading this book!! It’s been out since last June and I’m just now reading it. I hope I’ll enjoy it. The reviews on Goodreads are an average of 3.8/5 stars so it’s probably not the best. You’ll see what I think in the review 🙂

4.More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera

This is another book that’s been out for a bit. Since June of last year as well. This one has better review average but a tougher topic. I’m eager to finally read it! I will let you know what I think in my review.

That’s a wrap! Have you read any of these books? What did you think? Are any of these books now on your TBR? Let me know all of this in the comments below if you wish.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more Library Book Hauls!!
