Hope today is the beginning of a wonderful year for you and all your loved ones! I know this will be a very exciting year for our family. Weddings, babies, graduations, anniversaries, and birthdays -- we have much to look forward to!
For Review:
Quaranteen: The Loners, by Lex Thomas, from LMC Magazine
Katana, by Cole Gibson, from LMC Magazine
The Project, by Brian Falkner from Random Buzzers
Christmas Gift:
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets, by Eva Rice, from my daughter.
A random pick from the book store. We're suckers for pretty dresses on covers -- this one reminded her of The Luxe (one of my favorites) only set in the 50s.
Won:
Legend, by Marie Lu, won from Celine @ Nyx Book Reviews
Purchased:
I found some great deals on cheap ebooks for my Kindle. So I bought a bunch (all from amazon.com) and spent very little (less than $15 for 10 books.) So, if you are still on the fence about ebooks, reconsider! There are awesome deals for all kinds of books! I don't know when I'll get to read all of these, although a few were on my wish list, but here they are:
Unholy Ghosts, by Stacia Kane
Gamble on Engagement, by Rachel Astor. The is the second in the series, and I really enjoyed the first one. Light-hearted, funny, chick lit.
Entwined, by Heather Dixon
Vesper, by Jeff Sampson
Brightest Kind of Darkness, by P.T. Michelle
The Agency: A Spy in the House, by Y.S. Lee
Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have), by Sara Mlynowski
Bumped, by Megan McCafferty
A Hidden Fire, by Elizabeth Hunter
The Unidentified, by Rae Mariz
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets has a beautiful cover, I wouldn't have been able to resist it either!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Bumped and Entwined are excellent! I love filling my kindle with cheap ebooks as well!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Annette, may it be full of wonderful books!
Great bunch of books! I downloaded Vesper, too! Can't beat those 99cent deals :)

The e-book sale that's going on is totally amazing. I need to get my butt in gear and take advantage of it. As for the books you got or won, Bumped is amazing and so is Legend. I hope that you had a fantastic holiday season and that the new year is off to an awesome start. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGreat set of Cheap E-Books. Good deal. Legend was great. I hope you'll like it.

Stacia Kane! I originally planned to write more than that, but I love Stacia Kane and I really hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. The whole series is great and I love the unique characters! <3

Great IMM!

ReplyDeleteMy IMM for this week: IMM (4)
Hi Annette, these are mostly unfamiliar titles to me - but I'm glad that IMM has brought me to your blog. I have a soft spot in my heart for librarians! :) I also see that you're currently listening to David Almond's Skellig - David Almond is one of my absolute favorite authors. And I also enjoyed Skellig - you also have to read the prequel My Name is Mina - I was blown away by that book. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I forgot to leave my IMM link in case you want to visit. Here it is:

I've bought a number of those kindle books as well over the last couple of weeks. Some I already had physical copies of from earlier in the year. Hope you enjoy them all! Happy new year. :)

I'm reading entwined. It's pretty good and different from other YA's I've read
