Book Haul



Hi guys!

So this week, I fell sick all over again. I went to see a doctor and got antibiotics and I'm definitely feeling better. But throughout the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday, I was in bed. Good thing I had books to keep me company!

This coming week is also my last week with my family. I head back to the US on Friday and classes start on Monday. I'm not mentally ready for this! Last year was a bit rough for me, not in terms of the actual classes, but I was homesick often and struggled with my roommate quite a bit. I'm crossing my fingers that this will be a better year, especially since it's also my senior year!

Anyways, so Harper did one of it's EW upload this week. I managed to not snag everything they put and get just the ones I want to read. They also put up The Orphan Queen which I'm DYING to read, but it turns out it's only a sampler. -_- I downloaded it without knowing it was a sampler because I don't do samplers. I don't see the point, especially for book reviewers. Anyways, what I'm saying here is a warning would have been nice.

Here's what I got this week!
Love and Other Theories by Alexis Bass 

I have been excited about this book ever since the cover was revealed. It looks like an adorable read!

Better Than Perfect by Melissa Kantor

I can already relate to the main character in this book.

Solitaire by Alice Oseman

I saw this one on GR the other day and thought it looked really awesome. So when it became available on EW I was quick to download it.

Lies I Told by Michelle Zink

This looks like a mysterious read! She's adopted into a family of thieves! How crazy is that?

Rival by Penelope Douglas

I didn't particularly love the first book in this series, but I read this as soon as I got it and absolutely loved it! I can't wait for the next book! :)

Thank you to Edelweiss and Harper Teen for the lovely review copies this week!

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
