Another of my Booktopia orders arrived. While I’m not up to reading any of these yet, it’s good to know I have them for when I do. I’m really loving the Gods and Monsters cover, so I’m glad I picked it up. I can stop feeling jealous every time I walk past it in stores.

• Phantom Eyes by Scott Tracey (purchased)
• Spirit by Brigid Kemmerer (purchased)
• Broken Dream by Eden Maguire (purchased)
• Agent 21: Codebreaker by Chris Ryan (purchased)
• Agent 21: Reloaded by Chris Ryan (purchased)
• The Blood Keeper by Tessa Gratton (purchased)

These books were all $5 or less each, except for Spirit, but it was only $8.50. One of my local bookstores was having a 50% off sale in preparation for their eventual closing down once their lease ends. The shopping centre it’s in is being refurbished, so all the stores have to go. It’s sad, and I’m hoping they reopen once it’s done, but in the meantime–cheap books!

I haven’t started the Agent 21 series, and don’t know if I will anytime soon, but it’s good to have the books here if I get the urge to read a spy book. Likewise, I haven’t started Eden Maguire’s series, but if I start buying a series, I want to have them all, just in case I can’t find them later. I’m up to date with the Witch Eyes series, but after a big disappointment with how book two went down, I’m in no rush to get back into it. It’s another ‘one day’ book. I am looking forward to The Blood Keeper though. It’s been a while since I read the first one, but I have a feeling I enjoyed it. I’m always up for a good witch story–hard as they are to find. If you know of any that blew you away, let me know.

That’s it for this time. So, what books have you gotten lately? Let me know in the comments.

• Uglies by Scott Westerfeld (purchased)
• Pretties by Scott Westerfeld (purchased)
• Specials by Scott Westerfeld (purchased)
• The Vampire Diaries: Destiny Rising by L.J. Smith (purchased)
• Popular by Maya Van Wagenen (thanks to Penguin, AU)
• The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegel (thanks to Harlequin Teen, AU)

It was only two weeks between book hauls this time (not a whole year again, so I think I did pretty well). I’ve been wanting to start Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies series for quite a while now, so I gave in and ordered these with the cool black/fluorescent covers. I still need to order my copy of Extras, but I’m saving that for another one down the track. I snatched up this copy of The Vampire Diaries for less than $2 on Booktopia this week, which I’m really happy with. I needed it to round out that trilogy of the seemingly never-ending series. I’ll have to start collecting the next lot with the blue covers soon. I’ve only read the first four that L.J. Smith actually wrote, though. I’m not sure when the ghostwriters took over, but it hasn’t stopped me collecting the books. Maybe I’ll read them one day when the TV show ends and I want another fix.

Popular has been sitting around my room for a couple weeks now. It was a free gift from Felicity at the Penguin Teen Australia blogger/reader meetup in Brisbane on the 7th of April. It doesn’t particularly look like my kind of book, but it’s pretty thin so I might give it a go sometime in between the other bigger books I’ve got scheduled at the moment. Lastly, I got a copy of The Break-Up Artist to review. I’m really looking forward to this one. The blurb sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve been getting into contemporaries more and more lately, so I’m hoping this one clicks with me too.

Here are some of my latest reviews if you want to check them out:
Cross, Julie Tempest #3, Timestorm

• Collision Course by Shannon Curtis (purchased)
• Second Chances by Ros Baxter (purchased)

• Stormswept by Shannon Curtis (purchased)

It’s been freaking ages since I’ve done one of these. About a year. I’ve bought books since then, but these are just the ones I’ve picked up in the last couple of weeks. Thanks to Pan Macmillan for surprisingly me with a copy of Jaclyn Moriarty’s new book. I had barely finished reading A Corner Of White when this one rocked up in my PO Box, taunting me, trying to jump ahead in my tbr list. The rest are all from my regular trips to my local Big W’s book section. They’re probably the only one of the three Australia discount department stores chains I’ve found that still stocks a semi-decent range of YA. At least where I live.

I’m hearing good things about Disruption, so I’d like to check it out before it becomes another one of the unread books collecting dust on my shelves. Fangirl, I haven’t heard much about, but I did a quick Goodreads check in-store on my phone and all looked good so I added it to my shopping pile. And yes, you are seeing right, I did buy all four of the Bold And The Beautiful tv-show tie-in romance novels. $6 each, and based on my favourite scheming, angst-riddled soap, there really was no other choice.

That’s it for this time. Hopefully, it isn’t another year before my next book haul.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these–six months, I think. I’ve been meaning to post one sooner, but the weekends come and go too quickly and before I know it, it’s mid week and I think, oh, I’ll wait for the next one. Anyway, as you can see, I’ve gotten a few books. The stickered ones were a bargain at only $2 each. Impulse buying at its finest. I haven’t started Unearthly, but I thought I’d pick up Boundless while Big W have it readily available and round out my collection. It took a bit of work tracking down a movie cover copy of The Host, though. I’d expected it to be everywhere at the moment, but no, this one was hidden off on the bottom row, down by itself, in the adult fiction section. Now that I’ve finally got it, I plan on reading it very soon so I can see the movie after it. I’m about to go visit my family for the long weekend, so I’ll make sure I pop it in my bag with me.

What books have you gotten lately? And better yet, which ones are you tempted to pick up next?

• Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout (purchased)
• Spark by Brigid Kemmerer (purchased)
• Endless by Jessica Shirvington (purchased)

I only actually got three of these this week. I haven’t done one of these for over a month now–I just haven’t had the time. Last weekend I was busy going to a Patrick Wolf concert, and the ones before… well, I’ve been behind. I just read Storm by Brigid Kemmerer yesterday and really got into it, so I’m hoping that will keep me in the mood to read. That being said, I did pick up Gossip Girl Season Five yesterday as well, so I could end up marathoning that instead. Onto the books I picked up..thanks to Harlequin Teen for sending The Lost Prince, although I haven’t read any of the Iron Fey books yet, so I think I need to get onto that. I can’t decide what to pick up next though, both Onyx and Spark are calling to me. But knowing myself, I’ll probably end up picking up something else entirely.

Aihara, Miki Hot Gimmick #1-3, Hot Gimmmick, Omnibus 1
Kemmerer, Brigid Elemental #1, Storm

• Team Human by Justine Larbalestier & Sarah Rees Brennan (purchased)
• Alice In Zombieland by Gena Showalter (thanks to Publisher)
• Legacy Of Tril: Soulbound by Heather Brewer (purchased)
• Pushing The Limits by Katie McGarry (purchased)

So I already had a copy of Team Human, but I wanted the Australian cover as well so I decided to double dip. It helps that I’ve already read and loved the book 😀 Thanks to HarlequinTeen for the copy of Gena Showalter’s new book. It reminded me that I really need to get onto Twisted sometime soon. I think I’ve had it waiting on my shelf for about a year now. I’ve only read the first Vladimir Tod book, but I keep buying more of Heather’s books whenever I see them. I think I need to start marathoning some series to catch up rather than starting more debuts. That said, it didn’t stop me picking up a copy of Pushing The Limits. I keep seeing people rave about it, so I thought ‘why not’.
