**My Exciting Book Haul!**

I'm so excited to share my latest book haul with you guys! I've been fortunate enough to receive some amazing books from publishers and friends, and I just can't wait to dive into them. As a mystery enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by stories that keep me on the edge of my seat, and this new batch of books seems like it's going to deliver.

The first book I want to talk about is "Ask the Passengers" by A.S. King. My friend Rebecca gifted me this book after she was getting rid of some old books, and I couldn't resist picking it up. I've heard mixed reviews about this book, with some people finding it creepy and mysterious, while others have given it a thumbs down. However, my dad is a huge fan of mysteries, so I'm excited to give it a try. I don't know much about the plot yet, but the cover art looks intriguing, and I'm looking forward to finding out more.

The next book that caught my eye was "521" by Holly Boschur, which was sent to me by Random House Canada as part of their ARC program. This is a first-time ARC for me, and I'm thrilled to be one of the lucky ones who gets to read it before its release in May 2015. The premise sounds incredibly unique - set in a dystopian India where there's a gender selection ratio that's been skewed, and now men have to compete for women's hands in marriage. What really drew me to this book was the writing style, which is a mix of prose and verse. I love how the author uses words to create a spotlight effect on certain parts of the text - it sounds like a really cool and innovative way to tell a story.

I also received an ARC for "Volition" by Lily Paratus from another publisher. I don't know much about this book yet, except that it's set in New York and is classified as new adult fiction. I've heard great things about this author, so I'm really excited to dive into the world of Volition. The cover art looks stunning, and I love how the title has a certain edginess to it - it definitely piques my interest.

**A Sneak Peek at My Upcoming Schedule**

I wanted to give you guys a heads up on what's going on with me in the coming weeks. As finals approach, things are getting busy, and I'll be focusing more on my studies than creating content. However, I promise to still upload videos - just not as frequently as before. I'm planning on sticking to a Tuesday and Thursday schedule for now, but who knows? Maybe after summer arrives, I'll get back into the swing of things.
