Hi guys!

I hope everyone had a great New Year. The start of this year hasn't been so good for me out here what with a cyclone on the island. But the important thing is we're all safe. Plus, I headed back to college on Friday. :( I miss my family already. It's at time like these that I feel like kicking myself for choosing to go to a college 10 000 miles away from home.

Anyways, enough of me complaining. A couple of weeks ago I saw that Harlequin was releasing a new line of books called Harlequin KISS. The covers of these books are absolutely stunning and I couldn't help myself from requesting the gorgeous books when I saw them on NetGalley. I've already read about 4 of these titles and they are all so much fun! I'm really loving this new line.
I also got Linked, a book I've been dying to read for a long time, and Maid of Secrets from Edelweiss and Simon and Schuster. I must say, I was very much surprised to have been approved by them! I also got Things I Can't Forget for a blog tour.

And then finally I got a copy of The Darkest Minds due to a recommendation from Kim at Caffeinated Book Reviewer and Altered because it's one of my most anticipated read of 2013.

I want to say a big thank you to Harlequin, Simon & Schuster, Gallery Books, Sourcebooks Fire, NetGalley and Edelweiss for the wonderful review copies!

I hope you guys had a great week in books too!

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
