Sorry I haven't been reviewing much! ACK! I'm getting worried about when school starts.;/Apparently more work than last year which should NOT be possible, but we'll see. Worst thing: if my grades slip I have to take a break from blogging. *siighs* But anywyay, I WILL review Black City and I WILL review ALL three of those books! If I don't, just call the blog cops on me.
Valkyrie Rising is only because of the blog tour! YAY! But I won't read it just because if I do read it, I won't buy the finished copy. Which I'll want. But won't buy because I can get other books. Yeah, I'm just weird. Innocent Darkness? Blog tour! I only got blog tour books this week lol.

The Goddess Legacy (Goddess Test, #2.5)

So this week's going to be all ARC reviews since last week was (mainly) already released! All of these sound/are amazing! I've already read Pushing the Limits and if you follow me on twitter you saw that I cried. A lot. I think I got dehydrated...
Half Price Books are awesome! I love anthologies and this one has 8 of my favorite authors! *squeal*
I know. I haven't read Shadow and Bone! Boo. But it's next on my reading pile! After all the amazing reviews, I can't wait to get started!
Yeah. That's right. I GOT CURSED. ...wow. That sounded literal. But anyways I was told that if they had extras I would get one but I was NOT expecting it! So when I checked the mail, imagine my scream! I'm a GIANT fan of Jennifer Armentrout (and Daemon) so I was so excited to get this!
This is the first eARC I've gotten in a LONG time! And I love the Goddess Test series so YAY.

WHAT'S ON YOUR READING PILE THIS WEEK?

I won't go into any details, but most of these are sequels as you can see and most of htem I have been absolutely DYING to read! For Lost Codes though, I'm curious to see my opinion since there have been a lot of mixed reviews...hmmm....

I got my copy of Breathe!!! *jazz hands* and I can't wait to read it! The little box of books I "lost" found it's way back! I don't have a picture so I just stole from Goodreads. But I can't wait to read all of them! *crosses them off wishlist*

Some of my books got lost in the mail and I'm so frustrated at the Post Office now. ARGH!!! I swear, they're out to get me...Hopefully they get to me by next week but we'll see...And since I didn't manage to review Katana or Shift last week and the week before that, I'm adding it for review this week!

Rift (Nightshade Prequel, #1)
Bought
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1)
Like I said, I'm revieing the books I didn't have time to before.
I'm not sure if I'll enjoy Rift or not. I never read Bloodrose, the third book in her Nightshade series, and I have no plans to because of all the bad reviews. But if the characters are anything like Calla and whats-his-name (not Ren. I love him) then I will chuck this book in a fire.
There have been some awesome reviews so I can't wait to read it! Hopefully I get the chacne soon...

For Review
Venom (Secrets of the Eternal Rose, #1)          This is Not a Test

Traded
Darkness Before Dawn

Given
Venom (Secrets of the Eternal Rose, #1)

Won
Fathomless (Fairytale Retellings, #3)     Winter White (Belles, #2)     Narc     The Goddess Test (Goddess Test, #1)

All three have been on my wishlist and hey! I finally get to read them. Of course I'll review them.
My BBB traded this with me. It's actually through this trade we became friends. Weird, right? Anyways, I love the cover, but the plot sounds a bit...familiar. And I've heard of the love triangle. Ummm...but we'll see.
That's right people! I was given an ARC of Venom. From who? Fiona Paul herself! Fangirl moment! Do you know how much screaming was done once we reached our hotel? A lot. Wouldn't hav emissed it for the world...maybe BEA though. ;)
Teen Author Carnival is where I won these. Fathomless sounds interesting, I haven't read Belles so I won't be reading book two, Narc seems...OK, and I've already read Goddess Test. I did re-read it though, and saw things with a critical eye. As in, it was once 5 stars...and decreased to 3.5. Ah well. Things happen.

Another week, less books, sad Nikki. I didn't get any ARCs at all, I decided to stop trading for a short while,  and I only bought one book. So, this week was pretty slow. Sigh. But no worries! I'll be buying (hopeuflly) a lot this week! EDIT: This week will have all the posts that were originally for last week since I had Armchair BEA posts and everyone else was at actual BEA!




For Review
Katana     Rapture (Fallen, #4)     Arise (Hereafter #2)

Bought
Katana


Like I said, lasts week's post goes to this week because of BEA! And I threw Katana in just cuz it was awesome!
Katana I was honestly not sure of. Sure it sounded original, but...samurai? Umm...Thank goodness its as amazing as it is! This book is...wow. Just wow
