So, in my quest to find a new book haul meme to participate in, I've found quite a few that I wanted to mention in today's post. In the future weeks, hopefully I'll be able to settle on one of them (or randomly jump around depending on how I feel).
Goodie Bag Saturday hosted by Books of Love
Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits, and Tea
Now onto the books I received this week...
From the Library:
- Starters by Lissa Price
- Amazon
| Book Depository | Goodreads
- An awesome dystopian that I've heard good things about. I'm excited to dig into this one. And the cover is super shiny!
- Dark Eyes by William Richter
- Amazon
| Book Depository | Goodreads
- A shout out from Pittacus Lore, an amazing cover, no wonder why I picked this one up. Definitely looking forward to this thriller.
- I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga
- Amazon
| Book Depository | Goodreads
- This book caught my interest from the moment I had heard of it. A murder mystery from the killer's point of view (well, sort of). Yep, glad I picked it up!
For Review (e-edition):
Halo of the Damned by Dina Rae
|
When I heard that one of Hell's angels was responsible for a very successful advertising company, I wanted to read this one. Plus, there's been a lot of positive feedback so far. Thanks goes to Enchanted Book Promotions.
Scars by Cheryl Rainfield
|
After reading the synopsis for this book, I couldn't help myself but request it. I always have a hard time dealing with difficult things, but I believe reading about them can help us deal with the past. Thanks goes to WestSide Books and Netgalley.
Purchased (e-edition):
Pretty When She Dies by Rhiannon Frater
|
Thanks goes to Giselle from Xpresso Reads for mentioning this freebie. It is currently free on Amazon through the rest of the day. I've heard so many great things regarding the author's books.
Also, I wanted to do something a little differently this week. Since I know I have a busy schedule and weekend book haul posts tend to be the ones I visit the most, it's always nice to see what they did throughout the week. So without further ado: manda-rae's Past Week
