Book Haul



Hi guys!

Summer is starting to wind down. I'll be back to school in 2 weeks and I can't say I'm looking forward to it. It's going to (hopefully) be my senior year of college and I'm so nervous about what's to come next!  Thinking about the future always stresses me out.

Good thing I got some fabulous books this week to de-stress me! As you can probably tell by glancing at my haul, I'm going through a romance phase. It's all that's working for me and it's all I'm craving too. Most of the YA books I've read lately have been pretty much mediocre (in the 2-3 stars range), so I think I might need a break from YA for a bit.

The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma

I haven't read anything by Nova Ren Suma, but I've heard so many good things about her gorgeous writing style. Read the synopsis of this book, people! It's so intriguing and that lovely cover does make it hard to resist from taking a second look at this!

Made for You by Melissa Marr

I got this for a blog tour hosted by Xpresso Tours. Who can resist a description like "a twisted southern gothic tale of obsession, romance, and murder"? Definitely not me!

Every Breath by Ellie Marney

I've been wanting to buy a copy of this book ever since Danielle from Love at First Page read and loved it. It was only released in Australia and when I went to check the prices online, it gave me a heart attack so I decided to wait until it became available in the US. It went up on NG this week and I couldn't be more excited!

The Unhappening of Genesis Lee by Shallee MacArthur

This is one of my most anticipated reads of this year. There are genetically-enhanced people in this book!

Sweet Unrest by Lisa Maxwell

Apparently I had requested this some time back. It sounds like an interesting paranormal book. Let's hope it will be awesome.

What If by Rebecca Donovan

I've heard so much about Rebecca Donovan but none of her books' summaries have appealed to me. This one did though because it sounded mysterious. I'm currently reading it and loving it!

Draw Me In by Regina Cole

Sexy tattoo shop owner? YES! 

Until You Find Me by Amber Hart

I really liked Before You by Amber Hart and this just sounds even more awesome. Africa? Diversity? I HAD to have this book!

Just a Little Crush by Renita Pizzitilo

Elizabeth Norris rated this book 5 stars on GR and it sounds like something I would love reading.

Echoes of Scotland Street by Samantha Young

Siiri adores this series and I've read Samantha Young's other series that I liked. I have the first book in this one, but I haven't read it yet. I figured I would start with Echoes of Scotland Street!

Sisters' Fate by Jessica Spotswood 

I buddy read the first book, Born Wicked, with Siiri and Rashika and really enjoyed it. It's probably one of the best witch books that I've read, so I had to get the final book when it was released on Thursday.

Thank you to Edelweiss, NetGalley, Random House Children's Books, Harper Teen, Tundra Books, Sky Pony Press, Flux, Grand Central Publishing, Random House Flirt and Penguin 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
