Book Haul + Weekly Recap

It was a pretty good week! Expecting some things in the mail and may or may not go book shopping soon! Woot! OMG. I JUST REALIZED. TEENBOOKCON IS THIS WEEK. AND I'm dragging my friend to A.G. Howard's signing on Friday! (Even though I'm seeing her on Saturday. #hardcorefan)


Bought

  • While it Lasts by Abbi Glines
  • Dark Triumph by R.L. LaFevers
  • Nameless by Lili St. Crow


Edelweiss

  • Blackout by Robison Wells
  • Twinmaker by Sean Williams


Library

  • The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
  • Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messengers


Given/Traded (Because I don't want to have four columns of one book)

  • Arclight by Josin L. McQuein (Traded)
  • Taken by Erin Bowman (Won from EpicReads)
  • Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett (received for review)
  • 17 & Gone by Nova Ren Suma (Thank you Shreya!)









Read all the ones I bought! While it Lasts was so typical, but adorable. Dark Triumph was AMAZING AND I LOVED IT SO MUCH. LIKE, SO MUCH. Nameless was horrible. (Review to come)
SO EXCITED to read both of these! Sadly, they release FAR from now, so it'll take a while for me to get to them. But eep! I want to buy Black Out for it's cover ALONE. Not a fan of Twinmaker's cover, but the concept is fascinating! 
My library finally got some recent books! WOOT! I also checked out Just One Day and Splintered for my friends. One of them loved both! But the other is such a sloooowwwww reader. I'm psyched for Keeper of the Lost Cities and I'm sort of in the middle of the Sky is Everywhere, but I got Nightmare Affair, so I kind of put it on hiatus.
Speaking of Nightmare Affair! Read it, liked! Met my expectations (well, maybe missed by a hair) and loved the worldbuilding! Arclight, loved! Which is good, considering most of my friends didn't like it so much. Taken I read, loved, and don't know when I won considering I never got an email. Huh. Shreya is an AMAZING PERSON WHO I LOVE IN ALL HER CHOCOLATY GOODNESS. SHE IS SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON WHO I NEED TO TALK TO MORE.

Weekly Recap
I, my friends, am now sort of scheduling for August. Man, I feel so ahead.
The Loop by Shandy Lawson
Death, Doom, and Detention by Darynda Jones

  3. Arclight looks really really good! You have a great batch of books :) I'm not a fan of Twinmaker's cover either (or the title) but the premise does sound intriguing!

  5. OMGGG Taken was horrible. I'm sorry. Horrible. I am a bored little child.

    BUT you have an awesome haul! Lol tell AG that Eileen loves Jeb forever! (Although now that I've brought up Jeb I don't think you'll be telling her for me.)

    I AM JELLY OF YOUR ORGANIZATION. I CAN BARELY SCHEDULE THE POSTS I ALREADY HAVE WRITTEN.

Welcome all! I'd love to hear what you think, even if they're lies saying that my reviews are fantastic. I take flattery in all forms ;D
