How are you all doing? This past week was my last week in my home country. I head back to Denver on Thursday and I'm sad about it. Being far away from home sucks sometimes. :( On the plus side, I did get some great books this week and I hope you did too. A couple of publishers decided to finally approve me for titles that I had requested some time ago, so I ended up with a bunch of e-ARCs. I'm looking

A teen on the run seeks relief and redemption in this gripping, romantic read.   Leah Kurtz has finally found a place to call home, a town where she and baby Addy can live in peace, far from the drug-infested place she grew up. Chris is one of the best parts of her new life, the only person who’s ever made her feel safe. And now that she’s found him, there’s no way she can tell the truth: Her real name is Faith, not Leah. She’s seventeen, not nineteen. And the baby isn’t hers—Faith kidnapped her. Faith’s history catches up with her when a cop starts asking questions and Chris’s aunt spots her picture in the newspaper.

Summary (from Goodreads)   Title : The Chaos of Stars Author : Kiersten White Publication Date : September 10th 2013 Publisher : HarperTeen Goodreads - Amazon - Barnes & Noble Isadora’s family is seriously screwed up. Of course, as the human daughter of Egyptian gods, that pretty much comes with the territory. She’s also stuck with parents who barely notice her, and a house full of relatives who can’t be bothered to remember her name. After all, they are going to be around forever—and she’s a mere mortal.
