The rules are simple and it is a really fun way to showcase your books and see what other bloggers are excited about this week! Not to mention the fact that it is a good way to interact with and get to know other bloggers!
here are the books i added to my shelves this week:
bought:
I have been wanting to buy Fairest for ages and I finally caved! Every Breath is also a book I have been wanting to read for a long time so when it went on sale (£3.33 for the hardback!) I couldn’t resist! Encounter looks like a fun story so I picked that up as well.
Now for the fairy tale retellings! I have wanted to read Patricia A. McKillip for ages so I finally decided to pick up a couple of her books (some of them are really hard to get a hold of). Briar Rose is another retelling that I have been wanting to read so I picked that up too. Rounding this list off, I also decided to pick up Entreat Me (as I had bought the author’s other two books last week). I am pretty excited about my little fairy tale haul!
giveaways:
I won this book in a giveaway held by the lovely Christina @ Christina Reads YA. Thanks so much to Christina for this amazing giveaway (and also for making the giveaway international – the postal costs for this must have been astronomical). I was really excited to receive this package in the mail this week.
kindle first:
I am really loving the Kindle First option to read upcoming releases a month ahead of their release date (even better for me as an Amazon Prime member – I get the book for free). This fantasy novel looks awesome!
freebies:
There were a ton of freebies up on Amazon this week. I couldn’t resist picking up a few (well 16 actually but who’s counting 😉 ). Temporary Bliss and Neanderthal Seeks Human look like decent romances. Not normally my genre of choice but I want to start branching out a bit more again. A Song for Julia I just had to snap up since I already have one of the books in this series. Chasing Nikki also looked pretty good.
I have heard a lot about Cora Carmack recently so couldn’t resist picking up All Lined Up. I hadn’t heard of Inky, Bound or Angel After Dark but the blurbs for these books sounded pretty interesting.
Arouse and Reasonable Doubt also looked pretty good and I have been meaning to pick up the Fallen Crest High series for a while so was happy to pick up the first book as a freebie! Southern Rocker Boy also had an interesting blurb.
I have heard a lot about Dusty (which started off as a highly regarded Twilight fan fiction). When I saw that the newly reworked story was available for free I just had to pick it up. Maps looks like a really interesting read (always up for a bit m/m) and Existence also looked pretty intriguing (plus I’ve heard a lot about Abbi Glines).
for review:
I was overjoyed to be approved for both Watch the Sky and The Stars Never Rise. I adored Kirsten Hubbard’s Wanderlove and Rachel Vincent is one of my favourite authors. I was also really looking forward to A School for Unusual Girls so was delighted to be approved for this as well. I hadn’t heard of The Zeuorian Awakening but was drawn in by the synopsis.
The Edge of Forever has been on my radar for ages so I was really happy when it came up on Edelweiss as a download (same with The Temple of Doubt). Taking The Stand is another book I was happy to get approved for because I have the first two books in the series and now can read them all together! Nowhere But Here also looked really awesome (and I have yet to be let down by a Katie McGarry book). 😉
I was very happy to be approved for Fury (having the first book already) and The Dark Light looks really awesome. Also rocking a bit of old skool with Eva Ibbotson and Greg Keyes.
Well, that it for this week folks. I went a bit mad as per usual but I am really excited about my haul this week. I had a lot of fun with my purchases/acquisitions!
Hope you have all had a good week.
Bye for now!
This is an amazing haul! I hope you enjoy all your goodies!
Thanks! I have no idea when I will find the time to read them all though – the only downside of a book-buying splurge lol. 😉
Awesome haul – I’m really looking forward to Vengeance Road!!
You should buy All Broke Down. It’s currently .99 cents! (http://amzn.to/1CFcGAs) 😀 Its awesome. And All Played Out is beyond amazing. I hope you like the series!

Thanks! I’m glad to hear that about The Stars Never Rise – I have loved the author’s previous series so I am glad it sounds just as great. 🙂
Awesome haul – How to Lead a Life of Crime sounds great – just added it to my tbr!
Thanks so much for following. <3
WOWSERS. You got some great books this week. They look fabulous and so many of them. I have read one Cora Carmack book and I loved it.
Grace @ Books of Love
Haha – yeah I went a bit crazy this week! I am really excited about my haul – though I have no idea where to start!!
Oooh you got The Diamond Conspiracy – I really need to catch up with the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series – I haven’t even read the third book yet!
Hope you enjoy all of your lovely books. 🙂
I really enjoyed Fairest and Every Breath, both of which were pretty interesting! I’m pretty darn excited for The Stars Will Rise by Rachel Vincent, even though I haven’t read any of her other books. I’m just so damn enticed by that cover and description.
-Jon from Bookish Antics!
Glad to hear you enjoyed Fairest and Every Breath – they both look pretty fantastic. 🙂
I am really excited for The Stars Will Never Rise too – I actually did a little dance when I was approved for an ARC!! It does sound like a really great story.
Hope you enjoy your books this week. I haven’t read any Melissa De La Cruz books – will need to check them out. 🙂
Great haul! Fairest has such a pretty cover. I’m definitely going to have to hurry up and catch up on that series! I’ve heard that it’s even more gorgeous in person. I hope you enjoy everything.
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Thanks! Fairest does have a stunningly gorgeous cover. The series is definitely worth reading – I would highly recommend it. 🙂
Well you aren’t going to be short of something to read this week! *grins* I had the Gregg Rosenblum series on my wishlist at one point but I was put off by some of the reviews I read of Revolution 19. I’ll be interested to see what you think of this one!
Lol – not for a while I think. 😀
I am looking forward to starting the Gregg Rosenblum series – I had not heard too much about it but it looks interesting so I am hoping it will a decent read.
Awesome haul – I have been meaning to read Laura Bickle for ages – looking forward to seeing your thoughts on The Hallowed Ones and The Outside. 🙂
You just reminded me I want to pick up a copy of Every Breath. There are sometimes too many books to keep track of. Great haul this week. I always enjoy checking out your blog.
I know what you mean – there are just so many great looking books out there it is hard to keep track. 🙂
Aww thanks – that’s really nice of you to say. <3
Amazing haul! You have lots of great reads coming up! I loved Fairest!
Missie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
Thanks! I’m really looking forward to Fairest (need to finish Cress first though). 😉
