Book Haul



Biggest Flirts by Jennifer Echols

Servants of the Storm by Delilah S. Dawson

Being Sloane Jacobs by Lauren Morril

Three Broken Promises by Monica Murphy


Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano

Hi guys!

I hope you all had a great week! I had a good one and I'm now looking forward to when school finally ends for winter break in about a month.

This week, I had some fantastic books that I've been dying to read. First off, I got Biggest Flirts. I have a love-hate relationship with Jennifer Echols' books, but this one sounded adorable and I really love that cover. Servants of the Storm sounds creepy and that cover is just stunning. I was very excited when I finally got approved for Being Sloane Jacobs. I liked Lauren Morril's debut, and this one just sounds all sorts of adorable. I also got Three Broken Promises, which I'm dying to read. I adore Monica Murphy's NA series and I can't wait to read this one. Also, I was asked if I wanted to review The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant and I said yes because I loved the sound of it and the publisher was kind enough to send me a signed ARC.

Finally, I got Perfect Ruin from the library. I haven't read anything by Lauren DeStefano yet, so I'm curious to see what I think of her writing. 

A huge thank you to Edelweiss, NetGalley, Simon Pulse, Random House and BenBella Books for the gorgeous ARCs. 

Weekly Recap

Here's a recap of what was on the blog this past week :

 Unfortunately, I didn't think this was as impressive as everyone said it was. I had some issues with the characters, but it was highly entertaining. I rated it 3 stars.

Review : Across a Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund
This one was a favorite of the year. I loved the gorgeous writing and the wonderful characters. I rated it 4 stars.

Waiting on Wednesday
This week I was waiting on On the Fence by Kasie West. I love Kasie West so I can't wait to read more from her.

This was a disaster of a book. Poor world-building, weak characters and insta-love. I rated it 2 stars.

This was a light, fun and entertaining read, very similar to the Princess Diaries. I rated it 3.5 stars.

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
