Hi guys ! :)

How are you all doing ? I hope you guys had a great week in terms of books.
Before I start writing about the books I'd just like to say that what happened in Colorado on Friday morning was horrible and my thoughts and prayers go to the victims, the friends and the families of the victims and to everyone else involved. When things like that happen, you realize how lucky you are and how often you take life for granted. Sometimes, I wonder when the world will ever be peaceful ? Everywhere we go we keep hearing about violence, greed, wars, terrorism, malice, deaths, murder cases, rape cases and on and on ... Even the "scandals" in the book blogging world appall me. It seems to me that there's no place, not even the blogging community, that is truly calm and serene. Why do we behave in such a way ? Why can't we all just be happy and nice to everyone else around us ? I think everyone out there deserves a hug. So, here's a virtual hug on my behalf to all of you to show that I love you all. <3 <3
I apologize if I ranted off a little, but I just needed to get it out.

I'll move on to books now. I only bought 2 books this week ( Yay me ! ). Crux was for my new feature, She Said/She Said. Unfortunately, that book just wasn't for me. :( I got a copy of Insignia because my friend, Sam at Realm of Fiction, really enjoyed it and wrote a great review of it! The rest are all review copies. I got Inbetween for a blog tour hosted by Shane @ Itching For Books. My tour stop is on August 25th. Be sure to check it out ! It seems like an awesome read and I can't wait to dive into it. Incarnation, Ironskin, Magisterium, Stormdancer and Speechless are some of my most anticipated reads of this year. I practically squealed when I found them in my inbox. :)

I've been very lazy this week. I didn't get much reading done, but I hope I can catch up on some of my books this coming week.

I just want to say a big thank you to Random House , Entangled Publishing, Scholastic, Gallery Books, Tor, St Martin's Press and Harlequin Teen for the review copies. You rock !

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren . Touch (Denazen #1) by Jus Accorda Summary (from Goodreads) When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home. Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized. Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking dow
