August 2014 Book Haul

So Here's all the books i brought in the month of August 

 New Releases

Opposition - Jennifer L Armentrout


Opposition is the last book in the Lux series, so i cant really tell you much about but go check this series out it is amazing.












Percy Jackson and the Greeks Gods - Rick Riordan 

Synopsis 

A publisher in New York asked me to write down what i know about the Greeks Gods, and i was like, 'Can we do this anonymously? Because i don't need the Olympians mad at me again'. 
But if it helps you to know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they ever show up in your face, then i guess writing all this down will be my good deed for the week.
 PERCY JACKSON  




Isla and the happily ever after - Stephanie Perkins

Synopsis 

 Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on brooding artist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And, after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer break, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to face uncertainty about their futures, and the very real possibility of being apart.
Set against the stunning backdrops of New York, Paris and Barcelona, this is a gorgeous, heart-wrenching and irresistible story of true love, and the perfect conclusion to Stephanie Perkins’s beloved series




The Kings Curse - Philippa Gregory 

Synopsis 

Regarded as yet another threat to the volatile King Henry VII’s claim to the throne, Margaret Pole, cousin to Elizabeth of York (known as the White Princess) and daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, is married off to a steady and kind Lancaster supporter—Sir Richard Pole. For his loyalty, Sir Richard is entrusted with the governorship of Wales, but Margaret’s contented daily life is changed forever with the arrival of Arthur, the young Prince of Wales, and his beautiful bride, Katherine of Aragon. Margaret soon becomes a trusted adviser and friend to the honeymooning couple, hiding her own royal connections in service to the Tudors.

After the sudden death of Prince Arthur, Katherine leaves for London a widow, and fulfils her deathbed promise to her husband by marrying his brother, Henry VIII. Margaret’s world is turned upside down by the surprising summons to court, where she becomes the chief lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine. But this charmed life of the wealthiest and “holiest” woman in England lasts only until the rise of Anne Boleyn, and the dramatic deterioration of the Tudor court. Margaret has to choose whether her allegiance is to the increasingly tyrannical king, or to her beloved queen; to the religion she loves or the theology which serves the new masters. Caught between the old world and the new, Margaret Pole has to find her own way as she carries the knowledge of an old curse on all the Tudors.
