Forgiven ~ Jana Oliver (MKB)

Paper Towns ~ John Green (Library)
I've heard nothing but good things about this man, and I fairly enjoyed Looking For Alaska (review coming soon) so I'm hoping this is good :)


Forgot to take pictures again this week, but I promise I actually got them :S

Cover Reveal: Dreamless UK/rambling apology/IMM (17)

Oh my days...isn't it beautiful? I think I prefer it to Starcrossed - I just LOVE that shade of red! :D This has got me even more excited now - I want the release date to hurry up!!!

~

On a completely unrelated note, I owe you guys a bit of an apology as well - I'm aware of how terrible a blogger I've been recently, but I've had fairly valid reasons (namely sixth form work, extra curricular stuff and me being really bad at time management) and I hope to get back into reading and reviewing sometime soon and I will be making up for it come summer :) 

~

I'd also like to do an extremely belated In My Mailbox and thank the wonderful MyKindaBook for giving me the amazing looking After The Snow by Sophie Crockett - I'm sorry I'm behind with reviews for you guys too, but I have some lined up with more to hopefully come :)

This looks really interesting!

This week I got:

Junk ~ Melvin Burges (Library)
I've read this now, and I really don't think it was my kind of book at all, though I know people who love it.
Knife Edge ~ Malorie Blackman (Library)

I loved Noughts and Crosses so I can't wait to read this one!

We Can Be Heroes ~ Catherine Bruton 
and

If it wasn't for this wonderful blog, I don't think I would have heard of the two titles that I have won, so I'm immensely grateful for that because they both look brilliant!

This week I got:

Torment ~ Lauren Kate (Library)
I wasn't all that keen on Fallen (review coming soon), but I also just saw this at my library and I am a bit curious as to how the story will develop...and I LOVE the cover (again!)
Abandon ~ Meg Cabot (MyKindaBook)
My TBR pile of my own books is getting ridiculous by now, but I have a feeling I'll be reading this very soon as it sounds fantastic, and I adore Meg Cabot - pretty much everything she writes is bound to be amazing!
The Forest of Hands and Teeth ~ Carrie Ryan (Library)

I've read excellent reviews for this, and thought I'd give it ago, although I am a bit sick of reading about post-apocalyptic worlds controlled by the government or similar.
Pod ~ Stephen Wallenfels (Library)

Seems like a very interesting read - I hope it lives up to my expectations!

I also got The Iliad and Frankenstein to read for Classics and English Lit respectively, as I've just started my A Levels, so I'm just warning you that I probably won't be reading/reviewing my own books as much :(

Uglies ~ Scott Westerfeld (Library)
I've already read this one and was a bit underwhelmed, if I'm honest. It had a brilliant premise, but I don't think it was executed too well.
Blood Magic ~ Tessa Gratton (Library)
I've just started reading this one - it's pretty good so far :)

Lottie Biggs is (Not) Desperate ~ Hayley Long (the awesome MyKindaBook)
Lottie Biggs is (Not) Tragic ~ Hayley Long (the awesome MyKindaBook)
Fallen ~ Lauren Kate (Library)

The Lottie Biggs books were a nice surprise, and they look pretty funny but I really need to whittle down my library pile before I start reading my own books!
I'm a bit hesitant to read Fallen after reading The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove and hating it, but I'll try to go in with an open mind as I know lots of people adore the series. My god that cover is gorgeous though!
