I am still feeling the effects of last weeks discovery of netgalley and the subsequent requesting of all of the books i NEED to read and review. I also had a couple more review requests so you should be seeing reviews of all of these books in the future.
To review
Scarlette |
I recieved this book to review from the author. It is based on the traditional versions of Little Red Riding Hood and it sounds really dark and creepy. I haven't read anything based on a fairytale (or a story that inspired a fairytale) for a long time so i am looking forwards to reading this.
Caught Up In Us |
You may have noticed that earlier this week i had Lauren Blakely on the blog doing a guest post about her new book. She also gave me a copy of the book to read and three more to giveaway. If you havent yet read the post and entered the giveaway you can do so here.
Netgalley
Hidden |
I have been wanting to read this book since i first heard of it several months ago. It is a paranormal novel about angels - something i really love but haven't read for a while.
Point of Retreat |
As you know i am a huge fan and supporter of NA books. Slammed by Colleen Hoover is one of my favourites and i loved the way it ended. Because of that i had been unsure as to whether to read this (the sequel) as i loved the happily ever after of the previous book. Lots of people have been telling me this was amazing and i should read it so i have decided to give it a try.
Quicksilver |
The Sea Of Tranquility |
I read the first book in this series years ago and it was really interesting, i loved the way it mixed real scientific/ biological phenomina with Sci-fi. I hope that this book is as good as the first.
This is an upper YA/ NA book that i have heard incredible things about. It is also the favourite book of one of my fellow NA book club moderators Ava. I know this book is going to be awesome and i really can't wait to start reading it.
Free amazon downloads
I downloaded two free books this weekend that are the first two in a NA series. I think they sound good.
I have been very good this week and not purchased any books, though this is mainly as my local bookshop doesnt have the ones i want.
What do you think of these books and what did you get this week?
I can't wait to read Quicksilver, loved Ultraviolet! I hope you enjoy all of these :)
ReplyDeleteUltraviolet was awesome so i really hope Quicksilver is too :)
DeleteYou got some really good books this week! And quite a few books from Netgalley! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI only discovered that some publishers would accept me over Netgalley last week which led to a "Must request all the books!!!" type moment. I did manage to restrain myself and only request the ones i really wanted but it was still about 15 requests. I have a lot of reviews to write now :P
DeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteNice haul, Hidden looks great. I have The Sea of Tranquility myself but haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books and thanks for stopping by!
I think The Sea of Tranquility sounds amazing :)
DeleteI love Hidden's cover. You have a great mix of titles this week. Hope you enjoy them all. :D

Hidden sounds like a pretty good book. I saw it on NetGalley but it wasn't available for the US :-(. Hopefully I can get my hands on it eventually.
