(Late) Autumn Bookhaul

Even if winter is almost here, I have been wanting to post my autumn bookhaul for quite some time now. I bought most of these back in September, but haven't read them all yet (had no time at all). So I'm just going to make a brief introduction to them. 

- Another (Vol. 3 & 4) I got the first volume for my birthday back in June, and really enjoyed it, so I was really looking forward to finishing the series. My friend gave it to me knowing it was a short series, since I am not going to be following typical series with 40, 50 volumes. I have no time and no money for that. But Another was a great manga, and I'm really looking forward to watch the anime. It was creepy and confusing (very, very confusing at first) but everything got sorted out and I'm glad that the ending was unexpected. Sort of. 
- Naked Heat, by Richard Castle (Nikki Heat #2). Yes, my obsession about the show got into my bookshelves. I enjoyed the first book, and since they aren't that expensive I thought about reading the rest of the series. Haven't had time yet, but here it is. It looks good. 
- The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. This is a book I have to read for my English class in school, but I have wanted to read it for years now. I knew I would have to read it in 12th grade, so I just waited for it. And now that it's here I have only 100 pages left and I really love it but, like always, I don't have that much time to read lately... 
- Looking for Alaska, by John Green. I can't believe I haven't read this yet. After TFIOS, Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines, there's only this and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. So I need to read this. And it actually looks really good and, you know, it's a John Green. 
- The Slow Regard of Silent Things, by Patrick Rothfuss. I love Patrick Rothfuss. The Name of the Wind is one of my favourite books ever. And when I saw this had come out, and it was about Auri, a character I have always thought she should be more developed, I got really excited. But, you know, Patrick should've been working on Kvothe's next book which I have been waiting for for ages, and not in other works... But it's great anyway. Can't wait to read it. 

So overall they all look pretty good, and I can't wait to read them! I'm still reading stuff from my spring and summer bookhauls, so I still have lots left... My excitement never decreases, though.
