This time last weekend I was on a train to London to meet John and Hank Green. That sentence right there still feels crazy to me. I'm not going to go into all of that here though because I plan to do a write up on the event very soon, but this weeks book haul is extra special as it's full of signed books, the last incoming of my birthday books, and some books that I bought from Foyles - a bookshop I've always wanted to visit and finally did as well as the usual review copies. So here are the goodies from the last two weeks and if you're interested in the event write up I'm hoping to have that up for you next week so stay tuned!
For Review
Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter - I read this on the train and loved it!
Fractured by Teri Terry
A Witch Alone by Ruth Warburton
Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian - Another one I can't wait to read
Boy Nobody by Allen Zadoff (Proof Copy)
Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood
Bought From Foyles
Dead Romantic by C.J. Skuse - SO excited, I love C.J and can't wait to read this also my bestie is quoted in the back! You should watch her video about this and also subscribe to her on Youtube because she is awesome.
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson - I had a proof copy of this but after seeing her at the TFIOS event and noticing that this is signed I just had to get it especially because she wasn't available to sign books and I wanted a Maureen scribble!
Last of the Birthday Presents
Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle - This was the only John Green book I didn't own so was another nerdfightastic gift from Rach, I'm so happy to now have them all!
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken - This sounds AMAZE
Splintered by A. G. Howard - I've heard mixed things about this one but I love the sound of it so I'm going to give it a go, plus the actual book itself is stunning and the ink is purple!
The Scribbles
Happy reading till next time!

ReplyDeleteThey are aren't they? I really hope we both enjoy The Darkest Minds!
DeleteYou're so lucky you got to get signed copies Jess, I always find myself at seeing signed copies, I think I would be a nervous wreck if I ever met an author in real life! I really should pick up The Fault in Our Stars soon! Also yay for Perfect Scoundrels, and Warm Bodies. I'm planning on reading Warm Bodies in the next few days, so it's good to see you're enjoying it! I hope you enjoy the rest of your books too! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I was shaking so much Jasprit! It didn't really hit me until I was next to meet him and then I started trembling like crazy! The Fault in Our Stars is one of my all time favourite books and I loved Perfect Scoundrels and Warm Bodies too, I'll definitely be following your updates for Warm Bodies I hope you love it as much as I did!
DeleteSplintered was one of my favourite reads this year. I know it's had some mixed thoughts, but I hope you enjoy it! I'm glad you liked Perfect Scoundrels, though. I am starting that series in a couple of weeks! :)
ReplyDeleteThis has made me feel much better about reading it knowing that it's one of your favourites Sam! I'm so excited to see what you think of the Heist Society series it's one of my favourites. :)
