Take a Peek and What I'll Be Reading (4)

Time for a little recap of the books 

I received this past week and what I'll be reading!

(This picture is a little dark, my apologies.)

I won two books last week:

• Wentworth Hall by Abby Grahame

 A big thank you to Jen from Jen Ryland/ YA Romantics for this title! Have you checked out her site yet? Not only does she write great reviews and have some cool weekly features, she also gives books away all the time! You should definitely give her blog a look-see if you haven't already:)

• Cold Fury  by T.M. Goeglein

I won this ARC through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers. I'm so excited because this book features two of my favorite things: mafia themes and the kick butt heroine! Thank you Putnam Juvenile and LibraryThing:)

I also received my first book from the girls over at Southern Book Blogger's ARC Tours, and it's an AWESOME title:

• Tiger Lily  by Jodi Lynn Anderson

This book is definitely one of my most anticipated summer reads! I've already started it and am loving it so far! A big thank you to Amber from Down the Rabbit Hole and all the other members of the SBB team. Are you a southern blogger? If you are and haven't joined SBB you are missing out! Not only do they host really cool ARC Tours, but they also post bookish events like signings and festivals taking place all over the south. Head over to their site and check them out:) 

From Paperback Swap I received two cool books:

• Blood Rights by Kristen Painter

Vampires! No, I'm not quite sick of them yet:)

• Strings Attached by Judy Blundell

I recently reviewed and loved Blundell's What I Saw and How I Lied (read my review) so I am excited to read this one!

I also purchased a few books, both hard copies and for my kindle:

• Outlander by Diana Gambaldon

Next month I am participating in a readalong of Outlander, a book I've  always wanted to try. I was going to check the book out from my library, but this week I found a used copy for a whopping $1 at my library's store, SCORE! I love used books:)

• The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

So, after seeing this book quoted multiple times on a recent Top Ten Tuesday post, I decide to buy a used copy and see what all the fuss is about. I'm hoping to start it next week. 

• Night Beach by Kirsty Eagar

A few months back I pre-ordered this book from Fishpond. Why? Because I LOVED Kirsty Eagar's Raw Blue, this Aussie has become a go to author of mine, I'll read anything by her. I'm half way through this one now:)

And on my Kindle I received two books for review from NetGalley, thanks to Bloomsbury USA:

• Something Like Normal by Trish Dollar

Can't wait to start this one, it's been getting rave reviews.

• Transcendence by C. J. Omololu

I love this cover btw, and I have no idea how to say the author's last name, O-Mo-Lo-Lu? That's kinda fun to say...

And I made a couple of purchases at the Amazon store because they were too deeply discounted to pass over:

• The Demon Trapper's Daughter by Jana Oliver

This has been on my TBR list forever.

• Wander Dust by Michelle Warren

Ditto for this one. 

That's my take for the week, whew! I have my work cut out for me, no? Let me know how your week went and what you'll be reading. Leave me a link in the comments below:)

Coming up on the blog this week:

I'll be giving away a hot May release as part of the Splash Into Summer Giveaway Hop, so be sure to check back for that one. I am going to do a Cover Reveal post, since it's been a while, Top Ten Tuesday, Weigh In Wednesday over at Epilogue Review, and reviews for Timepiece by Myra McEntire and On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves!
