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.

The Secret Circle: Initiation and Captive Pt 1 by L.J. Smith (purchased)
Heaven by Christoph Marzi (purchased)
A Kiss In Time by Alex Flinn (purchased)
Wings by Aprilynne Pike (purchased)
Spells by Aprilynne Pike (purchased)
New Girl by Paige Harbison (thanks to Publishers)

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.
