• Stefan’s Diaries: The Ripper by Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec (purchased)

Lots of The Vampire Diaries this week. I read books two to four of the original series after getting a random craving and ended up getting sucked back in. I had to get more so that’s how I ended up with the next three L.J. Smith books and the fourth book in the Stefan spinoff. I double dipped and bought the Soul Screamers omnibus because I wanted the My Soul To Lose prequel in print. I’m guessing that’s their selling strategy. I still haven’t started the Strange Angels series but at least I have them all now for whenever I get around to it. I wasn’t intending on purchasing this cover for Under The Never Sky, I was going to get the pink and white one, but when I saw it instore early here in Australia I couldn’t wait. Finally, Unleashed was one I ordered a couple weeks ago. I haven’t read a lot of werewolf books, I’m more into vampires myself, but the cover intrigued me. It reminds me a bit of Fallen.

• Muse by Rebecca Lim (purchased)
• Crave by Melissa Darnell (thanks to Publishers)

Two books this week. I planned on going to shops to get a few other new releases but I couldn’t be bothered going anywhere yesterday… next week, I guess. I haven’t started Rebecca Lim’s angel series yet, but I love the covers so I’ve been collecting them. I’ll get around to them eventually, hopefully I enjoy them. Thanks to Harlequin Teen for Crave. I had a look at the synopsis but I can’t figure out what the plot is. It just seems to be about insta-luv. Oh well, I’ll give it a try.

• Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (library)
• Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore (library)
• Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith (library)
• Touch by Jus Accardo (purchased) – My Review

Three library books this week, saved some money which was good. I’ve been waiting on Texas Gothic and Lockdown for over a month. They were in stock at the main city library but it took them forever to get it transferred out to the branch near me. I’ve been thinking about trying the Caster Chronicles for a while so I thought I’d borrow it in case I end up liking it and want to buy the new hardcover collector’s box rather than being stuck with the individual paperbacks. And Touch, it’s my only purchase for the week. I read it a couple days ago and thought it was awesome – exactly my kind of book.

• Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi (purchased)
• Blood Bound by Rachel Vincent (purchased)
• Angel Arias by Marianne de Pierres (purchased)
• Smoulder by Brenna Yovanoff (thanks to Publishers)

Can’t wait to get into Angel Arias, I’ve been checking my local store for it since its release, and they finally had it in stock. I also found Shatter Me and thought I might as well get it while I was there. I already had the US Blood Bound, but when I saw that the Australian one was regular book size and not tiny like the US one, I gave in a bought myself a second copy. I probably should get around to reading it soon, I’ve already read Rachel’s other 11 books this year and loved them. Thanks to Simon & Schuster for Smoulder. Daughter of hell, sounds like my kind of book. And sorry to those I didn’t get back to last week, I was in crazy cram-mode for my exams.

• Stick by Andrew Smith (purchased) – My Review
• The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater (purchased)
• The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa (purchased)
• Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry (purchased)

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.

• Divergent by Veronica Roth (purchased)
• Dawn of Darkness by Daniel A. Kaine (purchased – eBook) – My Review

It’s been a couple weeks since my last mailbox. I haven’t really been anywhere, or spent much money lately, which has been good. Just reading and studying. I preordered Dearly, Departed a couple months ago, it’s one I plan on reading over summer. I haven’t got a copy of Halo at the moment, so I’ll have to hurry up and get myself one because Hades is looking lonely on my shelves. The two Evermore books were borrowed from the library because I wasn’t sure whether I’ll like them enough to spend my money on them yet. The other four I ordered at an online discount bookstore for around $2 – $4 each. I’ve been wanting Hold Me Closer, Necromancer for a while. It’s meant to be like the short-lived TV series Reaper, which was a favourite of mine, so I was excited when I found this one cheap.

• Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick (purchased)
• The Cross Of Sins by Geoffrey Knight (purchased)
• The Name Of The Star by Maureen Johnson (purchased)
• Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer (purchased)
• Sektion 20 by Paul Dowswell (thanks to Publishers)
• Out For Blood by Alyxandra Harvey (purchased)
• Bleeding Hearts by Alyxandra Harvey (thanks to Publishers)

I got the paperback of Silence last week, but I needed the UK foil hardcover to match Hush, Hush and Crescendo. I’m going to have to keep both though, since the paperback is the only one that has the bonus chapter from Patch’s POV. I read Silence a few days ago if you want to check out my review. Thanks to Bloomsbury for Sektion 20 and Bleeding Hearts, I love the shiny blue cover on the first one. I had to go pick up a copy of Out For Blood since I’ve only read the first two Drake Chroncicles books so far. I also stumbled upon the new movie edition of Breaking Dawn and had an urge to get it. Although, I don’t have any of the other movie editions, so it looks a bit random sitting on its lonesome on my shelf.
