Book Haul


One Tiny Lie by J.A Tucker

Rule by Jay Crownover

Acid by Emma Pass

Darker Days by Jus Accardo

Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles


Hi guys!

Welcome to another weekly book haul! I haven't done one of these in almost 3 months. So, I decided to share with you all the books I received this week.

I was gifted a copy of One Tiny Lie although I didn't really enjoy the first book. I ended up DNFing this one too last night because it frustrated me to no ends. I requested Rule off Edelweiss because there were so many raving reviews for it, but that ended up being another DNF for me too. I feel like I'm done with NA at the moment, because we're not getting along very well.
I bought a copy of Acid, because that cover is so badass, but that was yet another DNF for me, unfortunately.

I won a copy of Darker Days by Jus Accardo and I'm so excited to read it. I love Jus Accardo's writing and I'm pretty sure I'll love this one too! I almost died on the spot when I saw Wild Cards was on NetGalley. Simone Elkeles is one author whose works I've always loved. I read this on my flight back home and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Where the Stars Still Shine was on my top books to read this year, so I knew I had to request it when I saw it on NetGalley!

Thank you to Netgalley, Edelweiss, Harper Collins, Entagled Teen and Bloomsbury for the wonderful review copies!

Weekly Recap

I haven't been blogging as consistently in the past few months, but it's the summer now, so you should see reviews from me quite often as from this coming week. I did post a few reviews on the blog this week, so here's a mini-recap :

Review : Dare You To by Katie McGarry
I rated this book 3 stars. I liked it but didn't enjoy it as much as Pushing the Limits because Beth was a very hard character to enjoy. I definitely recommend it to fans of mature YA though!

Review : Unbreakable by Elizabeth Norris
This sequel to Unraveling also got 3 stars from me. I enjoyed the book despite issues I had. Overall, this duo-logy is a brilliant one and worth reading!

Review : Golden by Jessi Kirby
This was a brilliant book that completely amazed me. It was simple but beautiful! I highly recommend this book to all fans of YA contemporary!

That's it for me this week!
I hope you guys had a fantastic week in books too!
Be sure to leave links to your posts so I can check out your goodies as well.

Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!
Happy reading!

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
