• Evernight by Claudia Gray (purchased)

• Winter’s Shadows by M.J. Hearle (won) Thanks Lisa @ Badass Bookie
• Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz (purchased)
• Nevermore by Kelly Creagh (purchased)
• Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton (purchased)

I borrowed Evernight and Raised By Wolves from my library last month, and I enjoyed them both so I snapped them up cheap on AmazonUK. I also order the following books from both series, but Amazon decided to split my order and send me the ones I’ve already read first so I’m still waiting on them. Thanks to Lisa from Badass Bookie for my copy of Winter’s Shadow. It’s another one I library’d and really loved, so I’m happy to have my own copy now. She also sent me all of those bookmarks, badges and even a little Possession bottle opener. That tiny booklet also has the first chapter of Divergent in it. The rest of my books here, I haven’t read. If you read my IMM last week, you’d see I now have two copies of Blood Magic, one US hardcover and one UK paperback. I actually like both covers, I just hope I enjoy the book once I get around to it.

Here are my reviews from the past week:

• Forgotten by Cat Patrick (purchased)

And because I felt like it:
I tipped out every box and satchel I’d been accumulating in my cupboard since I started doing my shopping online. My room sat like this for six days, making it an expedition to get to my bookshelves without tripping over. It’s clean now finally, we backed the ute (truck – for my US readers) up to my window and threw it all out into the tray. I think this made me rethink my hoarding habits.

Thanks to O’Dell from BookTwirps for Warm Bodies and Blood Magic, which I won in a giveaway hop a few weeks ago. I hadn’t heard of the first one, but it sounds really good. I’m looking forward to getting into some zombie romance. Blood Magic, of course, I can’t wait to read. As you can see, my bookmark is sticking out of Angel, it’s good so far, but I’m only a chapter or so in. I’ve had Hammered and the paperback of Fearscape pre-ordered from Book Depository for a while and they finally turned up. I haven’t started either series, but I’ve got them all now, so I’ll get to them eventually. I read a sample of Forgotten on iBooks and I’ve seen good reviews, so I got myself a copy. There are so many different covers for this one, but I like this one better than the US one.

I forgot I’d gone to the library on Monday, so that’s why my first picture is clearly patched together, I didn’t feel like getting all the books back out for a new photo. I managed to pick up the complete Wicked Lovely series this week for $25 from Big W (if you’re in Australia). It was so cheap, and comes housed in a nice hard box, I just had to get it. I’ve only read this first book in the series so far, you can find my review here. Thanks to Jess from She Known As Jess for Chime, which I won in the Midsummer’s Eve giveaway. You probably also noticed my signed Vampire Academy book above. I entered a competition with Penguin Australia at the end of May where you had to come up with a question for Richelle Mead in 25 words or less. I just happened to be one of the ten winners. In addition to having my question answered in an upcoming video, I also got sent the whole series – Thanks so much Penguin. All of the books are personally signed with a different message in each. I’ve only read the first book, so I’m very excited to have these.

It got to Friday and I thought I was getting nothing this week, but then the post lady turned up with a stack of five packages from The Book Depository for me. Only took 8 days this time, which is better than usual. I haven’t read any of these yet, however I’ll be fixing that soon. Iron King is definitely high up on my TBR. I didn’t realise how tiny the Kevin Hearne books were going to be either. They’re about the size of one of those pocket phonebooks.

A heap of my AmazonUK purchases turned up this week. I got the complete Midnighters trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. I borrowed these from the library a couple months ago and really enjoyed them. I’ve seen a heap of different covers for this series, but I settled on these ones. My Hex Hall hardback finally turned up, I think it took four weeks to get to me from the UK, lucky I’ve already read it, otherwise I would have been stressing. Volume 4 of The Morganville Vampires bind-ups was just released, I had it pre-ordered so mine shipped early (thanks book depository). I still haven’t caught up on reading these, I’ve only read the first two in the series. Lastly, is The Demon’s Surrender. I can’t help but smile at it. I’ve been waiting on this new release for so long. I’m absolutely in LOVE with this series. If you haven’t read book 1: The Demon’s Lexicon, go out and get it now.

• Fade by Lisa McMann (purchased)
• Gone by Lisa McMann (purchased)

I know I said I wasn’t going back to the library any time soon because I seem to stockpile myself with books, but have no time to read them. But I’ve had these first two reserved for a while and they finally came in so I had to pick them up. I got a copy of Gone last week as well, but it arrived soaking wet, so bookdepository quickly sent me this replacement. Now that Fade has arrived, I can get back to this series. It’s thin, so it’ll be a quick read. I really enjoyed Wake when I read it back at the start of the year.
