To Review:
Half-Blood by Jennifer Armentrout 
Stealing Phoenix by Joss Stirling

Wow! You don't know how excited I was to receive all of these books for review. Firstly, I'd like to say a MASSIVE thank you Spencer Hill Press for shipping Half-Blood over to me. I know how expensive shipping is but the fact they wanted me to review it, was fantastic. 

Secondly, *Screams* Stealing Phoenix! I screamed when Oxford Publishing emailed me asking me to review this book. I was a huge fan of Finding Sky so to get Stealing Phoenix is phenomenal. Oohh and its signed by the author too. ;) 

And last by not least, Daughter of Smoke and Bone was a huge surprise waiting for me in my mailbox. I didn't even know it was coming so I was gob-smacked when I got it, it looks so good. Thank you H&S! 


A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies (see review)
Tris and Izzie by Mettie Ivie Harrison (see review)
The Mephisto Covenant by Trinity Faegen

Thank you to NetGalley, Egmont & HarperCollins.

That's it for me this week. Come back next week! :)

Please, Donna. The misused word "brought" (instead of BOUGHT) makes me cry a little inside.

That aside, you both got such great books this week! I just read A Need So Beautiful - you must read it. I'm reading Starcrossed right now, only like 6 pages in since I keep getting distracted. :P

Happy reading.

Lol thanks Cass - I didn't even notice! :)

Jessica ( frellathon ) said...

Wow great books there.

Braiden said...

Sweet books ladies! I had contacted Spencer Hill Press requesting Half-Blood and got a reply....but I guess they will only sent it overseas if the blog has lots of followers. Well at least more than 308 the number I have.

Great books there - how do you fit in the time to read all these books?! I'm jealous! :)

Ooh you lucky things! Half-Blood looks amazing, I'm so jealous you got it! And Stealing Phoenix too. I really loved Starcrossed (I think the ARC cover is the best one :P) and Hereafter looks great too. Happy reading, both of you!

Wow that was full of a ton of great books, most of which I really want to read. I hope you both enjoy reading all of those stories.

I'm not that into most YA books so I am not familiar with these titles, though some of the covers are amazing! Enjoy!
