For review:
Professor Gargoyle and The Slither Sisters by Charles Gilman: Unsolicited review copies, not sure if I'll be reading them but might pick them up during exam time as they're quite short.
Easy by Tammara Webber: OHMYGAWD!!!!!! This book... NEED to read it now! Loads of people said it was one of the best contemporaries of 2012 and I'm so glad it's now out in the UK!
The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines: *Sighs with content* Another delicious New Adult book for me to nosedive into!!! The publisher sent me the version with the Aussie cover and I must say I'm rather fond of it :)
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green: Please excuse me for a moment so I can run around the house and scream with sheer JOY!!! How many bloggers have told me to read this? LOTS (You can all stop glaring at me!). I didn't have to think twice about saying YES YES YES to receiving a copy! I'm so excited about this one and I will be reading it straight after the dreaded exams!
Speechless by Hannah Harrington:This just keeps getting better! I adored Saving June last year so let's hope this doesn't disappoint!
Beautiful Creatures Illustrated Movie Companion by Mark Cotta Vaz: I was lucky enough to be entered into a draw for a review copy and I really enjoyed it, I want to go see the movie soon! Review to come!
*Thanks to Penguin, Hot Key Books, Harlequin Teen and Quirk Books*
Gifted:
The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg: Thanks to the lovely Nina @ Death, Books and Tea for this!
Various swag (some signed): Thanks again to Nina!
Nobody But Us swag: Many thanks to Kristin Halbrook for the signed bookmarks and stickers!
Catalogues (not shown in photo): Thank you to Chicken House and Simon & Schuster for sending me the catalogues for their upcoming books! Very excited for the coming months now!
E-books for review:
Dare You To by Katie McGarry: Let me have another screaming OHMYGAWD moment, please. I'm getting excited just writing up this post >.< Katie McGarry!!! I mean seriously, who WOULDN'T be squealing over this when Pushing the Limits was so PERFECT???
Geek Girl by Holly Smale: A book about a geeky girl? Yes, please!!! This book sounds so fun and quirky and absolutely adore the cover!
Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett: Ahahaha, this one seems so hilarious! Looking forward to it!
The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa: All you Kagawa fans out there can stop glaring at me for not reading one of her books! I'm not sure I like the UK cover as much as the US one: where's the hot guy? :O
The Girl in the Wall by Daphne Benedis-Grab: A book about some rich kids in a difficult situation... Gimme! Haven't seen this much around the blogosphere but I'm looking forward to it.
Things I Can't Forget by Miranda Kenneally: Yay! My first book by Miranda! Can't wait for this contemp, look out for the blog tour in March!
Nobody But Us by Kristin Halbrook: This was for the blog tour, I've finished it and gladly forgotten about it. It was unfortunately disappointing. Look out for the review!
*Thanks to Netgalley, Edelweiss, HarlequinTeen, Sourcebooks, HarperCollins and FSB Associates*
Other Newbies on the Kindle:
Brightest Kind of Darkness by P.T. Michelle: Such a pretty cover!
Significance by Shelly Crane: Very excited about this one!
Perilous by Tamara Hart Heiner: Sounds very thrilling indeed!
Indelible Love by D.W. Cee: Another freebie... who can resist a free book?
Crossing by Andrew Xia Fukuda: Couldn't resist this at 99p! And it's about an Asian, books with Asians are hard to come by nowadays!
Glimpse by Stacey Wallace Benefiel: This one sounds really intriguing!
UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn: A twist on a fairytale... Awesome!
Jen's New Books:
Don't judge. Just don't. We're all book nerds, right? And we all have that
thing called a book-obtaining disorder? And because there are SO many books, I won't be posting all the covers.. but I'll still link all of them to Goodreads. :)
For Review (from Netgalley, Edelweiss, and ATOMR Book Tours,
and thank you, wonderful publishers!)
Freebies (from Amazon, some may still be free!)
Won (thank you Jenn Renee!)
So that's it from us! WOW what a freak load! Link us up to your lovely new book hauls of the week, will you?
Happy reading,
Bev and Jen xx

Happy reading, both of you!
Jen, you will LOVE Sanctum. Or at least, I hope you will! I was pleasantly surprised by that book. :) Notes from Ghost Town sounds great too, though I held myself back from grabbing a copy. I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteBev, great haul too! Dare You To is up for me soon and I cannot WAIT. I loved Pushing the Limits a lot and I've heard DYT is even better. :D I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Speechless. I liked it as much as Saving June, if not a tiny bit more.
Happy reading, you two! :)
THAT'S SO MANY FREAKINGAWESOMELICIOUS BOOKS I CAN'T EVEN. /faints/
ReplyDeleteI won't list down how many of those books I'm eager for because this comment might exceed the Google comment word limit (if there is one) but AHHH!! Guys, you have to be kidding me because just looking at the hyperlinked titles makes me want to run around and scream and shake my computer for not being futuristic enough for the book to just pop out of the screen in 3D. Haha just joking :D
Happy massive reading!!

Ohhh, what a huge amount of books, awesome! :) The lost prince is very good and I can't wait to read The fault in our stars. Everybody is so raving about it and it sounds like such a beautiful story. I've also heard good things about Speechless and I can't wait to see your review about it. UnEnchanted sounds very good, I believe I also got a free copy on amazon a while ago. Great haul guys, happy reading :D
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy haul.
Oh WOW, what a fantastic haul! I've heard so much about The Fault in Our Stars, hope you enjoy it! I'm also reading Geek Girl and really enjoying it. Hope you have fun reading all these, and have a lovely week! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like you got some awesome books recently! Geek Girl looks great, and I've had Confessions of an Angry Girl on my radar for a while now - I hope it's a good one! I need to get around to reading The Fault in Our Stars at some point, but having read lots of other people's reviews I feel like I need to lock myself in my room and prepare for a good cry... :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOMG WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! What an awesome amount of epicness, guys! :D :D
ReplyDeleteI accepted Easy a few months ago for review but nothing has happened.. *sob* it sounds amazing though! Speechless has been on my review pile since forever and Confessions of an Angry Girl looks fantastic. AND OH MY GAWD BEVERLET YOU HAVEN'T READ THE FAULT IN OUR STARS YET!?!?! *glares* Read it now! Drop everything you're doing and read it now! *glares until you move* ;) I received Geek Girl too - I have read the first few pages and it looks really fun to read, I think we're in for a treat.
Yup, Jen, I have a book-obtaining disorder too *high five* WE ARE BOOK NERDS AND PROUD. :P
I haven't read Before I Fall but I have read Delirium and that was amazinggggggg. I really want to read Sweet Evil too, I have read so many positive reviews on that one. I really enjoyed Between the Land of the Sea, it was one of my fist book that I accepted by self-published author. It does great credit for the self-publishing industry. And there's a whole series of them - YAY! :D
Happy reading, both of you xx
Wow great haul!! I loved Confessions of an Angry Girl! I have a review on my blog if you want to check it out. You got so many good books! I really need to read Speechless. I have it for review. Hope you enjoy everything!!!

Beverley I can't wait to read Things I can't Forget and Geek Girl either! I also can't wait to see what you think of Confessions of an Angry Girl I absolutely loved that book! Jen I can't wait to see what you think of Eulberg's latest book, I'll be keeping an eye on your updates! Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteBev - I hope you LOVE TFiOS and Speechless and Confessions of an Angry Girl!
