Weekly Wrap Up (03.02.13 - 09.02.13) and Stacking the Shelves (10)

I've decided to start doing a weekly wrap up post to round up the posts and reviews I post each week. Hopefully this will give the people that have missed posts an easy way to catch up!

Reviews: 

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead

The Reece Malcolm List by Amy Spalding

Reviewer X, an anonymous guest reviewer, reviewed the historical fiction novel, The Pillars of the Earth. X highly recommends it!

You can also check out which YA books came out this week here in my New Releases post.

Weekly Wrap Up (07.01.13 - 13.01.13) and Stacking the Shelves (9)

I've decided to start doing a weekly wrap up post to round up the posts and reviews I post each week. Hopefully this will give the people that have missed posts an easy way to catch up!

Reviews: 

Zom-B Underground by Darren Shan

Revolution 19 by Gregg Rosenblum

Burning Blue by Paul Griffin

Altered by Jennifer Rush

In addition to my own reviews, I have also taken on a guest reviewer. The catch is, they wish to stay anonymous. So starting this year, and lasting for however long they want to keep their details to themselves, Reviewer X will be posting reviews on my blog. X reads books from all sorts of different genres, so you can expect a very eclectic set of reviews that are very different from my own.

Here is X's first review on Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.

Bought

Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout

Onyx by Jennifer L Armentrout

Opal by Jennifer L Armentrout

I read all of these back in December, but I had them on my Kindle. Since I loved them so much I just HAD to spend more money and buy them in paperback.

For Review

Dare You To by Katie McGarry

EEP! This is the sequel/companion to Pushing the Limits which I ADORED. So excited to read this! And look at that cover *__*

The Heiresses by Allison Rushby

This is the first episode in a serial, which is set in the 1920's. I think it sounds great! 

Wool by Hugh Howey 

The Trouble with Fate by Leigh Evans

The two books above were sent to be unsolicited, so I don't know when I'm going to get to them, but they sound AWESOME!

Override by Heather Anastasiu

I received Override because I'm going to be part of the blog tour in February! I loved the first book, so I'm excited!

Vortex by Julie Cross

I have been waiting for this book for so long!

The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett

And this one! Excited! 

Weekly Wrap Up (31.12.12 - 06.01.13) and Stacking the Shelves (8)

I've decided to start doing a weekly wrap up post to round up the posts and reviews I post each week. Hopefully this will give the people that have missed posts an easy way to catch up!

Reviews:

Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff

Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

I also introduced one of the new features that will be happening on my blog during 2013, the 2013 Debut Showcase.

The purpose of this feature is to show you guys which YA debuts I'm most looking forward to, and which ones I've enjoyed. Hopefully it'll also help build some buzz around some of these debuts. There will be one post at the beginning of each month showing the top three upcoming debuts I'm most looking forward to and excited for, and it will also wrap up the previous month by showing which debuts I read and enjoyed.

You can check out some of this week's new releases here, and you can see which books I resolve to read in 2013 here.

Stacking the Shelves (7)

This is a huge haul since I haven't done one in over a month. I think I've covered all the books, and I've gone through my older hauls, but I have a feeling I've missed a couple.

Bought

- Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally

I've been wanting to read this one for AGES, and I'm so happy I finally got around to buying it. I'm hoping to read it by the end of the year!

- Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund

This has been on my wishlist since I first started blogging!

- Insignia by S. J. Kincaid

I've been told that this is awesome by so many people. I have no idea what it's about, but still. EEP!

Gifts

My friend, Tatum, bought two books for me, one for my birthday and one for Christmas. Amazon packed them both in the same box, so I couldn't leave one as a surprise, unfortunately!

- Life of Pi by Yann Martel

LOOK AT THIS COVER! Tatum read this a couple of weeks ago and loved it, so I'm sure I will too.

- The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan 

I've been told by two people that this is amazing. Can't wait to read it! I'm gonna have to wait until after Christmas, though, since this was the intended Christmas present.

Daph from Loving Books bought me these for my birthday back in November! I cannot thank her enough. She has AMAZING taste in books, y'all!

- Variant by Robison Wells

I've already read this and I ADORED IT. Such a great, shocking, mind-bending book. I need the sequel in my life.

- Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione

This is clearly not YA ;) The Demonica series is one of Daph's favourites, so I think I'm gonna love this!

For Review

- Infinite Sky by C. J. Flood

This is about a family who have travellers move in close by. I can't wait to read it, since there are a lot of travellers near to where I live and I'm really interested in reading about them.

- The Disappeared by C. J. Harper

I read this this week! My review won't be up until the end of January, though.

- Beyond by Graham McNamee

I wasn't able to finish this, but some people have really enjoyed it! It's about ghosts and is meant to be quite creepy!

- Quantum Drop by Saci Lloyd

This sounds action packed! Can't wait to get to it.

- Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black

Isn't the cover gorgeous? I got a copy of this from NetGalley, and am really looking forward to reading it.

- Pivot Point by Kasie West 

I'm so happy I got approved for this on Edelweiss! 

- Taken by Erin Bowman

I'm SOOOOO excited to read this debut!

- Right of Way by Lauren Barnholdt

I loved Lauren's other book, Two-Way Street, so I'm really looking forward to reading this when the weather gets a bit warmer!

- Hysteria by Megan Miranda

I enjoyed Megan's Fracture, so I think I might like this one! Can't wait to find out.

- The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson

EEP! I can't wait to see where this one goes.

- Sister Assassin by Kiersten White

AKA Mind Games. Not sure why they changed the title, but whatever. I am excited!

- Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

I've been wanting to read this since I finished the first book back in 2011!

- Requiem by Lauren Oliver

 I. Cannot. SDISHLHNSDKVLF

- Revolution 19 by Gregg Rosenblum
This is one of my most anticipated debuts of 2013! I can't wait to get stuck in.
- Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff
This will be my first book by Brenna! I'm excited. And I love this UK cover, it looks a lot more sinister than the US one.

And there are more coming! But this is it for now because this is ridiculously huge. Feel free to leave links to your hauls below!

Bought

The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima (this is the BEAUTIFUL UK cover)

I've been seeing this around for years now, and I finally decided to go ahead and pick it up. It was only a few pounds on the Amazon Markplace, so I think this is quite the steal. I can't wait to get to it!

Rua by Miranda Kavi

This was free on Amazon so I downloaded it straight away. The cover... blows my mind.
