Solving for Ex by LeighAnn Kopans


The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson

The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson

Cress by Marissa Meyer

Hi guys!

It has been one of the worst week in terms of cold and snow here in winter. I've been freezing to death and having to walk about 20 minutes every morning at 8 in the awful cold has not been fun.
On the plus side, I did get some fantastic books this week.

For review I received The Truth About Alice, which sounds intense and powerful, My Last Kiss, On the Fence, which is bound to be awesome because this is Kasie West we're talking about and Solving for Ex which I already read and which was super geeky and all kinds of adorable. 

I also got surprise package from a friend who lives in the UK. She sent me the 3 books in the Fire and Thorn series and I can't wait to read them. I'm going to have fun with these in the summer. And of course, I had to get Cress when it came out on Tuesday and it was every bit as amazing as I was expecting it to be. 

I hope you all got some fabulous goodies as well.

Thank you to Macmillan, Harper Teen, LeighAnn, Netgalley and Edelweiss for the lovely review copies.

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
