I reached my goal of reading 100 books in 2011 a couple days ago with Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready. The goal seemed a little crazy to me at the start of the year as I think I read all of five books in 2010. Anyway, onto my mailbox. I read the galley of Stick a couple weeks ago and thought it was a real heart-wrencher. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for hours after I finished it. I ended up ordering myself this hardcopy mid-way through typing up my review. The Scorpio Races was an auto-buy for me. I’ve loved Maggie’s other work so I had to get my hands on this. Unfortunately, I’ve heard some not-so-great things about it, but I’ll give it a try. I still haven’t even started The Iron Fey series, but I had to get myself a copy. I love the cover too much. Rot & Ruin is a lot thicker than I thought it would be. But that’s a good thing. I’ve been wanting to dive into the zombie genre for a while. That’s probably why I’m currently reading Warm Bodies.
Here are my latest reviews if you want to check them out:
Moone, April, Strawberries and the Beast

Smith-Ready, Jeri Shade #1, Shade

YAY…. Rot & Ruin! LOVE that one. The book is thick, but it goes really fast. It doesn’t feel like a almost 500 pg book at all. Hope you like it 🙂
I have Iron Knight on my IMM this week too!
Let me know what you think of Scorpio Races, I think I need a heads up before I get a copy of it.
Great haul! Happy reading!

love that cover for Scorpio Races. Enjoy!
Prefer these covers of Rot & Ruin and Dust & Decay etc. The eye is just so awesome. Iron Knight <3 And Stick. yes. Since you enjoyed Stick I'd recommend The Marbury Lens by Andrew Smith (although pretty fked up book lol).
Iron Knight is awesome!!! I think Rot & Ruin is on my list but i havent gotten to them yet! Enjoy!
I’ve read Iron Knight last week and really liked it. I still have to pick up a copy of Scorpio Races. Hope you enjoy all the books you’ve gotten this week 🙂
Great haul this week.
The Iron Knight is a great book and a fantastic end to the series, I have just got The Scorpio Races myself and I really want to read Rot & Ruin.
