• The Vampire Shrink by Lynda Hilburn (thanks to Publishers)
• All These Things I’ve Done by Gabrielle Zevin (thanks to Publishers)
The only one I actually bought this week was Flip, which I picked up while at the Maria V. Snyder signing in Brisbane. It has an interesting cover, if you flip it upside down, it has the cover model with his eyes open on the back and the barcode is actually on the spine. I ordered Eyes Like Stars a couple weeks ago from Book Depository and Playing With Fire is one my mother brought home from the grocery store because she thought I might like it – Thanks Mum. Thanks to Nina from Death Books and Tea for Shade and Perfect Chemistry, I can’t wait to get into those two. Also thanks to Karina Halle for sending me her first two books, I’ll start Darkhouse soon. Plus, another thanks to the people at Pan Macmillan for sending me the last two books in the photo. I plan on reading All These Things I’ve Done this week. I actually prefer the Australian cover over the white one with the chocolate heart.
Here are my reviews from the past week:

Great book haul! I love the Perfect Chemistry books. I’m a sucker for the good girl/bad boy story. I really can’t wait to read All These Things I’ve Done. A world where coffee and chocolate is illegal? That’s a scary thought. Enjoy these! π

All These Things I’ve Done is SOOOOOOOO good.
And Shade yay!
And Perfect Chemistry!
Lots of good reading ahead for you.
I like your blog! The books you got look great. I’m looking forward to the Zevin’s book. Never heard of The Vampires Shrink. Is that Australian? I’m a new follower!
I think it was self-published and it did so well that a publishing company has bought the rights to it. Yes, it is an Australian ARC that I’ve got though. Thanks for following, but you didn’t leave me any links to your blog to find you π
Can’t wait to read All These Things Iβve Done!
Congrats on your wins! Happy reading!
Win an ARC of The Predicteds by Christine Seifert
I’m not into contemporary books and once I picked Perfect Chemistry I couldn’t believe how much I loved it! Hope you like too!
Hi Brett,
Some excellent books there this week. I have heard Perfect Chemistry is really good, I’m going to have to get myself a copy of that π
Stop by Fictional Fantasy and check out my IMM if you get a chance π
I have All These Things I’ve Done on my bookshelf, and I’m especially intrigued by the premise of chocolate being illegal. Enjoy your books!
Stop by my blog
I am so jealous that you have All These Things I’ve Done. It’s one of my most anticipated reads this year, Flip was good. Extremely interesting concept. Very different from anything I’ve ever read.

I’m very much looking forward to All These Things I’ve Done! A chocolate mafia. Yes, please.
