Sunday Post (4)

Sunday Post is a weekly feature hosted by
Kimba The Caffeinated Book Reviewer

Hello all! Time for a look at what awesome books and bookish things came my way this week. My camera is acting up so my images come from Goodreads.

From Around the World ARC Tours I received two books:

Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys
February 13, 2013


I already read this you guys, and although it is a few months from publication,  I CANNOT wait to review it. It is SO GOOD. The characters are amazing and the New Orleans setting makes my heart swell:) It's definitely going on my fave reads of the year list:)
When We Wake by Karen Healy
March 5, 2013

Another one that won't hit the shelves until next year. I'm reading this now and it is VERY good so far. Healey's writing reminds me a bit of Lauren Oliver. It's beautiful yet very up front and stark.


Thank you Cindy and the rest of the ladies over at ATWAT:)





From DAC ARC Tours I received:

Black City by Elizabeth Richards
November 13, 2012

I'm starting his one next!

Thanks Tara, Lisa and all the rest of the gang over at DAC ARC Tours:)








From Paperback Swap I received:

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann

I really enjoyed MCMann's Wake series and have been looking forward to reading this (plus that cover is so COOL:)










From NetGalley I received:



Velvet by Mary Hooper
November 13, 2012

I have had my eye on this one since it's UK debut earlier in the year.
Not Exactly a Love Story by Audrey Couloumbis
December 11, 2012

This one takes place in 1977 and looks like fun:)





And from the very awesome Misty Provencher, author of the Cornerstone series (read my review of Cornerstone and my review of Keystone) I received this BEAUTIFUL handmade mantra bracelet.



This is Misty's picture but my bracelet is just as gorgeous and I love it.Thank you SO much Misty!

 Have you read the Cornerstone series yet? It's such an amazing new YA paranormal series! I hope you take the time to give it a look over at Goodreads or Amazon and try it out for yourself!
