First 2014 Book Haul + February TBR!

I don't usually do back-to-back posts on the same topic, but I really wanted to share a mini book haul with you all and tell you about #AYearAThon, the read-a-thon I joined that started TODAY! As the name suggests, there will be a read-a-thon with a different theme every month. This month, from February 3 - 9, we will be reading anything and everything related to Harry Potter! (I'll be tracking my progress on Twitter.) If you want to join us, just visit us here :) If you don't want to read Harry Potter in February but would like to see what else we're reading in the future, check out this schedule.

Now, onward to the books I purchased a week ago!

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably already seen this. Target was being a little generous with its prices and I caved. I usually purchase paperback versions, but I couldn't help myself this time!

The paperback cover of Ruby Red does not hold a candle to the hardcover cover, so it wasn't a question whether or not I should pay a little extra for the hardcover. I already placed an order on Book Outlet for the second book and can't wait to find the last one! The Darkest Minds has been a top book of 2013 for a lot of the book vloggers I watch on YouTube, and Fangirl is too cute to deny from my collection. I've already finished it and thoroughly enjoyed it. (More on that at the end of this month!) I heard about The 5th Wave via Priscilla from The Readables but did not care to purchase it until now, and The Diviners was a necessary purchase after Regan from Peruse Project continuously mentioned it in a couple of her videos.

Along with these books I purchased, I'll also be attempting to read the entire Harry Potter series (even after the read-a-thon ends) during the month of February. It's one of my 2014 reading goals and I'm happy to be completing a huge goal this early in the year. Realistically, I don't think it's possible for me to complete 11 books in one month (I am a full-time college student), so I'm thinking this will be my TBR (to be read) for March too.

What will you be reading in February?
