Sunday Post/ Weekly Recap and Weekly Forecast (6)




Hola, fellow readers! I had some really great books come my way this week, here we go!

From NetGalley three titles were approved:

Rockoholic by C.J. Skuse
November 1, 2012

With my love for music themes in books this one was a given. And you guys, there is a picture of that dude with his sunglasses off and he is is HOT. In case you were curious:)

Thank you Scholastic!




And All the Stars by Andrea K. Host
October 1, 2012

This one got a really great review by the gals over at The Book Smugglers. It's science fiction (SQUEE!) and has art themes!

Thank you Ms. Host!





Send by Patty Blount
August 1, 2012

This one is about cyber bullying and/or sexting. Either way it's a full on YA contemporary issue book which I confess I LOVE:)

Thank you Sourcebooks Fire!





From Edelweiss I received:

Where the Light Falls by Katherine Keenum
February 5, 2013

I saw this book on a couple of bloggers Sunday Post's last week and was intrigued. It's historical fiction that takes place during the Belle Epoque period in Paris. Heck yeah,  I want to read that!

Thank you Berkely Trade!




From DAC ARC Tours I received:

Renegade by J. A. Souders
November 13, 2012

I just stared this one and so far so good!

Thank you DAC ARC Tours and Ms. Souders!






I received a book from Library Thing's Early Reviewers Program:

Sailor Twain by Mark Siegel
October 2, 2012

Guys I am so excited! This will be my first graphic novel. And it is BEAUTIFUL inside! Look:







ooohhh...ahhh...

How awesome is that! Can't wait to start it! Thank you Library Thing!


From Paperback Swap I received:

The Hollow Kingdom by Claire Dunkle

I have been wanting to start this fantasy series forever!

Waiting for You by Susane Colasanti

This will be my second Colasanti book:)









Here is what you may have missed on the blog this week:

Coming up this week:
I'll be revealing the cover of Misty Provencher's (Cornerstone and Keystone) New Adult book Hale Maree on Monday. On Friday I'll be revealing the teaser and hosting a giveaway for M.K. Hobson's (The Native Star and The Hidden Goddess) latest work The Warlock's Curse. In between look for reviews of Speechless by Hannah Harrington, Black City by Elizabeth Richards, and The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan. I'm also working on another discussion post all about YA 'Bad Girls' :)

  11. Ooh, maybe I should request Rockaholic. This sunglasses tease of yours has me curious. On the other hand, I am getting my TBR pile down to a manageable level and am actually going to have time to read some stuff for fun and work on some new blog features.....

    1. Jen, seriously. It's the e-arc but the first few frames show the cover couple including him sunglass-less. Whoa. He's awfully young but I can still admire, right??:)
