November/Birthday Book Haul, Part 2: Drive Books, Not Cars & Gifts/Freebies

Welcome to the second part of my November/Birthday Book Haul. So for the second part of my haul all of the books in this post are bought from Drive Books, Not Cars. For those of you who don't know what DBNC is, DBNC is a charity drive organized by wonderful people working alongside with Count Me In Indonesia where what they do is they sell cheap secondhand english books at a VERY CHEAP price (from Rp 10,000 - Rp 25,000) only and best of all, each and every cents of the profit goes to help Sahabat Anak and Taman Bacaan Pelangi.

So, obviously I bought a lot of books from this event because I am weak and I can't resist book sales. But I felt justified after buying the books that I'm going to show you because they are all great books and by buying books I'm helping all the children out there that are in need. Here are the books!!
PS: I volunteered to help at this event too!

Welcome to another tag guys! Anyway I wasn't tagged to do this tag but I was reading about this tag on some of the other blogs and figured it would be fun to do it also. Today, I'll be doing The TBR Tag. Actually in reality I haven't accumulated a lot of books to-be-read but in my Goodreads shelf you'll see there are a lot of books that I want to read.

Let's get it started then! Here's my answers to the tag

Howdy guys! Welcome to yet another blog post. This post I'm going to be doing the Taylor Swift Book Tag (sounds fun doesn't it?) anyway I wasn't tagged to do this post by anyone but what the heck I'm gonna do it anyway.

I know I know you guys are all thinking why am I posting a super late book haul post. Well the answer is simple I am currently facing my mid-term examination week of college and it has been super hectic, endless studying and little time to read my ever-growing TBR pile (agak lebay sih kayaknya) but it's true! So for this book haul I am actually doing a September and October book haul because I kinda forgot to post my September book haul, which I considered to be a nice coincidence since the books I bought in the month of October are so little compared to September and August...

Well, without prolonging this already long introduction here are the books!

Tebal: 228
Format: Paperback
Terbit: April, 2013
Rating: 3 / 5 stars

Date started: 1 November, 2014 - Date finished: 2 November, 2014

Sinopsis:
Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the "Forever" part...
Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who’s been dead for a century.
Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend—even a ghost—is just what she needs.
Or so she thinks. Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya's Ghostis a wonderfully entertaining debut from author/artist Vera Brosgol.
