Hi guys!

I woke up this morning to an epic haul from Harper Teen on Edelweiss and of course, being the greedy person that I am when it comes to books, I couldn't control myself. I've been dying to read so many of these books since their cover reveal! Especially, the contemporaries! (THE PROMISE OF AMAZING!!! I MIGHT DIE OF HAPPINESS!!) They look amazeballs! 
I'll be reading these during my 5 weeks winter break in December. Since I'll be stuck in a dorm room by myself in the cold winter, what better way to entertain myself other than reading books? 

I also got Red from Random House. I actually requested it a really long time ago and I thought I was probably rejected, but they finally sent it to me this week. I download Elite from NetGalley. It sounds like an original NA book and the blurb certainly piqued my interest.

I didn't buy anything new or go to the library this week!

Anyways, hope you lovely people had a great haul too!

Thank you to Edelweiss, NetGalley, Random House, Grand Central Publishing, Harper Teen and Disney Hyperion for the lovely review copies.

Weekly Recap

I had a couple of reviews on the blog this week. Here's a recap of what was on here :

I was disappointed with this book mainly because the love interest in it was a jerk and did things that I thought were unforgivable. I ended up rating this book 2.5 stars.
I loved this sequel to Legend so hard! I wasn't the biggest fan of the first book, but this one completely blew me away with how Marie Lu has refined everything from the characters to the world building. I rated it 5 stars because it was totally 5 stars worthy!
Both books were short, sweet and sexy! Totally fun, no-thinking required books that are perfect to read in between heavy books! I rated them 3 stars and 3.5 stars respectively.

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
