I received quite a few review books this week. Since I was expecting most of them, I put myself on a strict book-buying diet to try to stop my TBR pile getting totally out of control. (Which probably means that I'll be splurging next week, but what's a girl to do?) All links go to Goodreads.com.
Dido - Adele Geras
I love my fairytale retellings, so I'm intrigued by this retelling of the classical story of Dido. Thank you to David Fickling Books for this one.
Secrets at St. Jude's: Rebel Girl - Carmen Reid
I really liked Drama Girl, the last book in the Secrets At St. Jude's series (review here), so I'm looking forward to this one. Thanks Random House for this.
Dark Secrets 2 - Elizabeth Chandler
The first Dark Secrets compilation was a surprise hit with me (review here). I'm psyched to read the next shivery instalment! Thanks S&S.
Wicked: Resurrection - Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie (not pictured)
Witches! In other words, what's not to like? Thanks S&S.
Fortune - Megan Cole
This looks like a super glamorous and fun beach read. Thank you to HarperCollins.
The Last Summer of the Death Warriors - Francisco X. Stork
I've heard great things about this author. Thanks Scholastic for this one.
The Babysitters Club: The Summer Before - Ann M. Martin
What can I say? I have history with the good ol' BSC, so this prequel to the series was always going to be a must-read for me. Thanks again to Scholastic.
So.... what did everyone else get in the mail this week?

Okay, I must comment on this post because I feel really bad about not commenting on any of your posts this week. Great books- I am quite jealous.
Great books! Fortune looks very cool! Happy reading :)
I am so so intrigued by the Francisco book, I have it on my shelf and it sounds amazing. I've heard some amazing this about his other novel Marcelo in the Real World too. I think your going to love it!! And your other goodies look a-okay, happy reading :-)
Agreed what's not to like about witches! Love the sound of Witches: Resurrection.
Happy Reading :)
This list is like mine - somewhat restrained ;) I'm interested in reading Dido too and picked up a copy last week. I didn't realise it was a fairytale retelling though :)
I haven't heard of Dido by Adele Geras before, but I'd like to read it :)
Enjoy!
Your books look good! The Babysitter's Club made me smile. Happy Reading! :)
I can't wait to see what you think of all these, especially Death Warriors and Fortune. It's a great mix of books - something for every day! :)
Have a great week Lauren!
Great books you've got there. I adore fairy tale retellings as well, but haven't had the pleasure of reading Geras' books yet. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.

Great books this week! They all sound really good- but I am especially interested in the BBC prequel. I was obsessed with this series when I was a kid. I will definitely keep my eye out for your review. Enjoy your books!
You got an interesting selection of books this week. I have read any of them yet. I hope you enjoy them. My IMM is here. Happy reading!
I've had my eye on The Last Summer of the Death Warriors, and I am intrigued by Dido. Enjoy!
Great books, they all look super good. I hope you enjoy them!
Great mix of books. I have read all of the Wicked series and was really dissappointed by Resurrection, really looking forward to seeing what you think :)
I'm looking forward to hearing about Fortune; it sounds like it can be guilty-pleasure fun!
Awesome books this week! Aww I used to love The Babysitter's Club series. I will definitely have to read the prequel, aka the only one I haven't read yet. I hope you enjoy them all :D

Dido is reallt good and I'm saving my copy of Fortune to take on holiday. It seems like that kind of book!
