manda-rae's Haul

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).



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




Let me know how your week went and don't forget to leave a link!

    Oooh your library books are all books I want to read!! I wish I had a good library where I live, but the only one in the proximity is the military one and it has no YA books. :(

    I'm jumping around the memes too!

    You got some interesting books! I have been looking at Starters too but haven't bought it yet. I liked Dark Eyes when I read it. And, I am also waiting for Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong.

    My new books posts are at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. I got bunches this week. Happy reading!

    This was my first week doing a book haul post. I also enjoy being able to see at a glance what people had going on that week so I added it to my post too.

    My friend Sydnee just finished I Hunt Killers and says it's her favourite YA read so far. Thus, I'm pretty eager to read it and I hope you enjoy it too. Happy reading! ♥
