This week was so darn good for books. And the best part? I have a week off now. If the weather holds out, I'll basically be reading on the beach for the next seven days. Woo-hoo!
All links go to Goodreads.com.
For review:
Halo - Alexandra Adornetto
The cover blurb on this one says that the author is seventeen. I find that utterly amazing. I also love angels. So far this is adding up to win, and I haven't even started it yet. Thanks to Feiwel and Friends for this one.
On loan:
Matched - Ally Condie
Can we say 'squeal'? I believe we can. My awesome blogger friend Carla from The Crooked Shelf decided I could borrow her copy of this one before she'd even read it. It's way up on my most-wanted list, and I'll be diving straight into it today. Excited? Yuh-HUH! If I were a superhero, my name would be Super Excited Girl. Thanks Carla. :D
Gift:
Handling the Undead - John Ajdive Lindqvist
I work away from home during the week, and get most of my books sent to my weekend address. So when I received a parcel from a certain online retailer to my weekday address, I was pretty puzzled. Until I opened it and saw it was Handling The Undead which I'd wanted for ages - a gift from my partner, with a sweet little note. Cute! Why say it with flowers when you can say it with zombies?
Bought:
Posse - Kate Welshman
I read a post over at Persnickety Snark this week about the top heroines in Aussie YA, and one of them was Amy, the MC from this book. I liked the sound of her, and I love Aussie YA, so I decided I needed this one.
