I’ve been in Sydney the past week on a business trip, took a stack of books, but I never got around to reading them. I did get some reading done on the plane, but not enough to write any reviews. I will fix that soon. When I got back a couple days ago, I was met with six of these books–so thanks to those who sent them to me! I don’t know where to start. I’m tempted to pick up The Immortal Rules, but Fated sounds pretty good too.

• Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter (thanks to Publisher)

So it’s been a bit slow around here lately. I only read one book last week–well I only completed one book–I’m midway through two others at the moment. The long weekend isn’t helping with my reading. I’m staying at a friend’s for the easter break and well, solitary reading doesn’t really fit the bill. Most of these books here are ones I picked up at Kmart last weekend. I was going to grab Pandemonium as well, but it’s in a larger format, so I’ll wait until I can get one to match the size of Delirium. I thought I’d heard good things about Night World, but it turned out, that I was thinking of another series that had been put out in bind-up form. So–oh well, maybe I’ll end up liking this one, maybe I won’t. My UK copy of Immortal City came in the mail, and I was all excited–but then I tried stacking a heap of books on the shelf above my desk at once and they ended up tumbling to the floor, the cover bending back in half–grr. Still perfectly readable–but I’m annoyed with myself. Anyway, it’s Easter today (and a certain book blogging Kate’s birthday!), so I’m going to go raid the chocolate. Have fun reading!

Firstly, thanks to Kylie from Talking Teacup for my copy of Touch Of Power. I still haven’t read any of Maria’s books, but I will get around to it eventually. It’s been about a year since I read the first five books in the Conspiracy 365 series. They’re short, and fun, and now that it’s a tv show, I thought I’d get back to them with the next four. The other books were all random purchases I made when browsing Big W’s YA section. I probably didn’t need to get them right now since I’ve already got heaps I’m behind on, but I don’t like leaving shops empty handed. Feels like a waste of a trip. I’m still pretty busy at the moment, but I’ve almost finished helping my parents move house. Also, I probably won’t have an IMM next weekend as I’m heading down to Melbourne for a few days.

• Torn by Amanda Hocking (thanks to Publisher)
• Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson (purchased)

I hardly get hardcovers since they don’t sell them in Australia very often, so I thought I’d treat myself on book depository and buy all of the Demon’s Lexicon series and a few others I’ve been wanting. I’m obsessed with Sarah Rees Brennan’s writing, so I knew I had to buy these, even though I already have the UK/Aus paperbacks. I’m behind on both the Chronicles of Nick and Hex Hall series. I read the first books in each, bought the second, and then let them sit gathering dust for a year. I’ve been reading Fated over the past couples days, so when my friend, Brittany, and I went to the Claudia Gray signing in Brisbane yesterday, I saw Hunting Lila on the shelves at Dymocks and gave in and grabbed it. I did get four other books when I stopped by Big W this week, but I’m at my parents’ house this weekend, so they’re going to have to wait until next week’s IMM.

• The Alchemy Of Forever by Avery Williams (thanks to Publishers)
• Balthazar by Claudia Gray (purchased)

It’s been a quiet two weeks book-wise for me. But I’ve got plenty that I want to read, so that’s alright. I just spent the past five days finally reading The Hunger Games during my lunch breaks. Glad I did. Now I know what all the movie-hype is about. Thanks to Simons and Schuster for sending me a copy of The Alchemy Of Forever. I’ve heard actually really good for a reincarnation story. Usually they all fall into the same pattern, so I’m interested in seeing what this one does. I picked up Balthazar when I went shopping on Thurday, but I still need to read final three books in the Evernight series. It’s like that though. I just like having them on my shelves for when I’m ready.

I spent most of my week reading Beautiful Creatures. It was the book that just wouldn’t end. I picked up Shadows on my kindle this week, so I’m going to read it next and see if Dawson Black can get me back in the reading mood. I did go shopping, but I only purchased manga this week. I didn’t get anywhere near the regular bookstores, but I did stop by the library to stock up on things to read. All of my books are still at my parent’s house, so I’ve just got my kindle to occupy me in the meantime. I’ve actually got my own copies of Generation Dead and The Replacement, but I thought these library copies my encourage me to read them sometime soon.

It’s been a busy week for me. I got a job in another city so I’m moving back and forth between two places. I apologise to those I haven’t been able to get back to. I will get back on track with the blog eventually, but it may be a little slow until I get into a new pattern. As for my books this week, I saw the new cover for The Secret Circle and decided it looked cool. I’m still watching the tv series, so I may wait until the end of season 1 before I start on the book. I have no idea what Aprilynne’s books are about other than faeries, but the first two were both instock at the same time for once, so I finally ended up getting them. The tag line on the front of Heaven was enough to intrigue me, plus I love the cover. I probably didn’t need to buy A Kiss In Time this week, but it matches my Beastly cover, so there you have it. Thanks to Harlequin Teen for New Girl, looking forward to checking it out.
