 For Review

How to Love by Katie Cotugno
I hadn't heard of this one when it dropped through my letterbox but after reading the synopsis I was immediately excited! My Goodreads friends that have read it have all loved it so far so I'm very excited for this debut!
Amelia Grey's Fireside Dream by Abby Clements
I've read both of Abby's novels and have enjoyed them so I'm looking forward to this Autumn read! This sounds like the perfect book for getting cosy by the fire with as the nights start drawing in.
The Elites by Natasha Ngan (Proof Copy)
This is a debut that I have heard so much about! I've been looking forward to this one since early summer when I first heard about it and will be getting stuck in soon.
Goodbye, Rebel Blue by Shelley Coriell (Proof Copy)
I have a bit of a fascination with bucket lists. I think they can tell you so much about a person and what's important to them, so when I was asked if I wanted to review this one I jumped at the chance!
Fearsome Dreamer by Laure Eve (Proof Copy)
My friend Cait has been telling me how good this one is and I think it sounds incredible! I love the synopsis for this one and will be reading it very soon. It's another very exciting sounding debut!

 Bought/ Gifted

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
YESSSSSS!!! New Rainbow Rowell come to Mamma! I had this one on pre-order
1.) Because I love Eleanor and Park.
2.) Because this book sounds like my life.
I've been so excited for Fangirl and I'm so thrilled to finally have a copy!
Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
Beauty and the Beast is my favourite fairytale and so when I saw this reviewed on Sam's blog I knew I had to have it and it's been sitting waiting on my wishlist patiently and I finally decided to treat myself to it! Huge thank you to Sam for bringing this one to my attention! Check out the review here.
Deception by C. J. Redwine
This is another book that I had on pre-order. I read the first book last year and loved it! Definitely a must read for fans of Shadow and Bone and Throne of Glass!
The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (AKA J.K. Rowling)
I love HP and I love The Casual Vacancy. I've only just got around to buying this one because for a long time I thought that somebody was tricking me and that someone would pop out and be like "Just kidding! J.K doesn't have a new book out! You crazy fool!" I've since accepted that this is legit so I finally bought it. I think I'm going to add this to my October TBR for some Halloween Crime reading.
Arclight by Josin L. McQuein
This was gifted to me by the lovely Raimy! The cover for this one is so pretty and I really love the sound of it so I'm looking forward to getting stuck in! Thanks Raimy!

Breaking News!! J.K Rowling’s New Book Deal

Yes. I’m not shitting you my friends. J.K Rowling queen of book land has today announced her plans to write and publish her first novel for adults. Here are all the official, important stuffs that you no doubt want to read…

"Little, Brown has world English rights to the first novel for adults by JK Rowling, the company announced Thursday morning. Little Brown UK publisher David Shelley will serve as Rowling's editor and Michael Pietsch will oversee publication in the US. All other details--title, pub date "and further details about the novel will be announced later in the year." But one important element has been settled: While the world waits for Pottermore and the Harry Potter ebooks, Little, Brown promises they will publish "both in print and ebooks."

Rowling says in the release: "Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series, which has been published so brilliantly by Bloomsbury and my other publishers around the world. The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry's success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life." Rowling was represented by Neil Blair at The Blair Partnership."

Wow. I kind of gave up hope that this day would come I mean Jo certainly doesn’t need to write another book after the mammoth success that was Harry Potter, but with all of the Harry Potter films now finished with I think this is a really good time for the next chapter in Jo’s writing life. I don’t mind that her new book will have nothing to do with Harry or that world and that it’s going to be different. I don’t think anything will ever compare to Harry Potter it was a masterpiece, a little piece of real life magic, and that stuff surely only comes around once in a lifetime? So I’m reluctant to compare the new novel not only because they will be so different but also because I really do believe that Harry Potter was a rare and beautiful thing. Instead I’m mostly intrigued to read something new from Jo and to see how she’s developed as an author since writing the Harry Potter books and to as an adult now enjoy an adult book by her, hopefully as much as I did the Harry Potter stories when I was a child. How do you guys feel about this news? As soon as I hear any more info on the title, cover, synopsis etc you can rest assured that I will be all over it and keep you updated! Feel free to fan girl/boy me in the comments, let’s get our celebration on! *puts on the sorting hat and jigs around with a butterbeer*
