Mr Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy #1), Stephen King
I had wanted to read Stephen King for years so when I saw this in Tesco I just picked it up.

This looked funny therefore I bought it and I'm so glad I did.

Abandon (Abandon, #1)
Abandon (Abandon #1), Meg Cabot
I needed a book for a long-haul flight and I knew I couldn't go far wrong with Meg Cabot. and I picked it up at a charity shop so it was cheap.

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, #1)
I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1), Pittacus Lore
I saw whats-his-name on the cover and wondered what film he was in now so decided to give it a go.

Thirteen Reasons Why
Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher
The book fair was at my School and I had a book voucher so I thought why not.

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1)
Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1), Kendare Blake
I needed something to read after my University exams finished.

I am Rembrandt's Daughter
I Am Rembrandt's Daughter, Lynn Cullen
I honestly can't remember how this one came about....

Marked (House of Night, #1)
Marked (House of Night #1), P.C. & Kristin Cast
I got this in the height of my vampire/Twilight phase.

The Weight of Silence
The Weight of Silence, Heather Gudenkauf
I picked this up at the airport... I think...

The Secret Countess
The Secret Countess, Eva Ibbotson
And... I can't remember this one either...

  1. I totally picked up Wallbanger because the title was so ridiculous but I really enjoyed it and the rest of Alice Clayton's books. I enjoyed Mr. Mercedes a lot. Great list!

    1. I've only read Wallbanger and Rusty Nailed so far, but I'm desperate to get my hands on her other books too. Mr Mercedes is definitely one of my facourites so far this year too. I'm so glad I've finally read a Stephen King book.

    1. Wallbanger is just genius, but I do agree that it definitely isn't for everyone. It is hilarious though.

  3. A friend of mine read "Wallbanger" and really enjoyed it! The cover is pretty amusing. I've read "Anna Dressed in Blood" and was actually surprised by it, but I haven't read any of the other series yet.

    Lovely list!

    1. Wallbanger is definitely one of my favourites and the cover definitely drew me in. The book is just hilarious. Anna Dressed in Blood is definitely a great read too.

  4. I love Abandon! Meg Cabot is so incredible. Was kinda disappointed with the sequel though, sadly.

    1. Abandon wasn't my favourite Meg Cabot, but it was still interesting. I actually remember liking the sequel more for some reason. And I agree she is pretty incredible. I just wish I had time to read more of her.

  5. Thirteen Reasons Why was on my list this week too.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel free to leave a comment.
