Honestly, I have no idea what to call this post, having no real reason to treat myself other than the fact that I felt like it, which is perfectly okay. There’s no reason not to treat yourself to things like this, so I went out and purchased as many books as I could afford because I wanted to, and I’m really glad that I did.
Daughter of the Burning City | Amanda Foody
Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult, Mystery, LGBT, Fiction, Magic, Romance
Summary: Sixteen-year-old Sorina has spent most of her life within the smoldering borders of the Gomorrah Festival. Yet even among the many unusual members of the traveling circus-city, Sorina stands apart as the only illusion-worker born in hundreds of years. This rare talent allows her to create illusions that others can see, feel and touch, with personalities all their own. Her creations are her family, and together they make up the cast of the Festival’s Freak Show.
But no matter how lifelike they may seem, her illusions are still just that—illusions, and not truly real. Or so she always believed…until one of them is murdered.
Desperate to protect her family, Sorina must track down the culprit and determine how they killed a person who doesn’t actually exist. Her search for answers leads her to the self-proclaimed gossip-worker Luca, and their investigation sends them through a haze of political turmoil and forbidden romance, and into the most sinister corners of the Festival. But as the killer continues murdering Sorina’s illusions one by one, she must unravel the horrifying truth before all of her loved ones disappear.

Genre: Poetry, Feminism, Health, Mental Health, Nonfiction, Mental Illness, Womens, Autobiography, Memoir
Summary: Charly captures the formative experiences of today’s young women from the poignant to the prosaic in writing that is at once witty, wry and heartfelt. Wayward nights out that don’t go as planned; the righteous anger at those men with no talent or skill or smarts who occupy the most powerful positions in the world; the strange banality of madness and, of course, the hurt and indecision of unrequited love.
For every woman surviving and thriving in today’s world, for every girl who feels too much; this is a call for communion, and you are not alone.

So glad I’m not the only one completely lacking in self-control when it comes to purchasing books. xD These look great, and you definitely should treat yourself. I’ve heard really good things about The Ghost Tree, and it’s on my TBR, too!
