My Week In Books (17th June)

Happy weekend everyone! I've torn myself away from reading in the sun to bring you up to date with my bookish week, so let’s begin!

The only book post I received this week was from the lovely Walker Books via L. D. Lapinski. There shall be reviews of both Phantom Limbs and Truth Or Dare in the next issue of Shift_, so keep your eye out for that.

I finally finished Lord of Shadows! Boy was it good. I'll have a review of it up soon, but for now let’s just say I cannot wait for the next book.

My Week In Books (10th June)

Hello readers! How has your week in books been? I was lucky enough to receive two books I'm very excited about!

The lovely people at Usborne sent me a copy of Being Miss Nobody by Tamsin Winter ahead of something very exciting I'm planning soon. I was also very lucky to receive a signed copy of Day 7 by Kerry Drewery, and I can't wait to read it!

I've only managed to read half of Lord of Shadows this week, it's so big! It's full of angst and sexual tension, and is everything I could want from this series.

My Week In Books (3rd June)

It's half term, which can only mean a very busy book week!

I was lucky enough to receive six books this week! Special thanks goes to Steph for sending me a few of the above books.

The lovely people at Walker sent me a book proof of The Loneliest Girl In the Universe and I can't wait to read it!

I've read three books and started on my fourth. Truth or Dare, After the Fire and I Have No Secrets are all thoroughly brilliant reads. I'm now onto Lord of Shadows, and I can't wait to revisit the Shadowhunter world.

My Week In Books (27th May)

It's the end of another week, so it's time to find out what I've been up to in the world of books.

I only received one book this week, Truth or Dare by Non Pratt. I feel like everyone I know has already read this, so I can't wait to read it soon.

Last night I finished I Have No Secrets by Penny Joelson. I have to admit I found it a tough read at first and nearly gave up on it, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. I'm now reading After The Fire by Will Hill.

My Week In Books (20th May)

It's that time of week again! Let's see what I've been up to.

The Scholastic book fair turned up at the school I work at this week. I bought Goldfish Boy, The Bone Sparrow and The Whispers of Wilderwood Hall. I was sent I Have No Secrets by Steph, and Old Barn Books sent One Silver Summer.

I finished reading Troublemakers this week, and it was really good. If you're looking for a YA read with political themes then this is definitely for you. I also read The Heart Collector, and am currently on I Have No Secrets.

My Week In Books (13th May)

I was lucky enough to find this copy of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld in the book exchange at Oval tube station. It's in perfect condition, so thank you to the mystery reader who left it there.

The wonderful folk at My Kinda Book sent me a Happily Ever Lather box this week, featuring A Quiet Kind of Thunder and some wonderful Soap & Glory hand cream, so a huge thank you goes to them as well.

I finally finished The Fallen Children by David Owen this week, and it was amazing! I've now moved on to Troublemakers by Catherine Barter.

My Week In Books (6th May)

I have a confession to make: I broke my book buying ban after three and a half weeks. Let's see why…

I bought Countless by Karen Gregory and The Opposite of You by Lou Morgan. I just had to though. They're so pretty! Steph also bought Ink by Alice Broadway for me when I mentioned I hadn't read it. Thank you Steph!

I read Between the Lies by Cathy Macphail, and I'm about halfway through The Fallen Children by David Owen.

Finally, I bought The Heart Collector by Melinda Salisbury, and I'm so excited to read it!

My Week In Books (29th April)

It's been a quiet book week for me this week. Let's see what I got up to!

Andersen Press were kind enough to send me proof copies of Troublemakers by Catherine Barter, and Things A Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls. I'm really excited to read these, so keep an eye out for the reviews.

I've been pretty busy so I haven't had much time to read. However, I've been reading The Fallen Children by David Owen, and Between The Lies by Cathy Macphail. I'm really enjoying both so far, and I can't wait to see where they go.

My Week In Books (22nd April)

Despite being on a book ban (which is going really well) I managed to acquire three books this week.

• Steph sent me Caramel Hearts and We Are All Made of Molecules.
• Kelpies Edge (a new YA imprint of independent publisher Floris Books) sent me Between The Lies. 

I finished reading All About Mia and now I’m reading Countless by Karen Gregory. It's about a girl who calls a truce with her anorexia when she discovers she's pregnant, and it's utterly amazing.

This week I've been getting excited about The Extinction Trials by Susan Wilson, out in July through Usborne.

My Week In Books (15th April)

I've put myself on a book buying ban until YALC this week, but I've still managed to get my hands on three books.

• The lovely people at Atom Books sent me a proof of The Fallen Children
• I received my pre-order of The Upside of Unrequited
• I bought The Hate U Give (before I started my ban!)

I finished Orangeboy, and read Becoming Betty for the #SundayYAthon. I'm now halfway through All About Mia, and really enjoying it.

I've heard lots of good things about Things A Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls, I can't wait to read it!

My Week In Books (8th April)

With no book post and a reading list almost entirely from NetGalley, this week has been very Kindle orientated. Let's get stuck in!

I bought these three non-fiction books that I've seen a lot of the YA community raving about recently.

I also got approved for these reads on NetGalley. I can't wait to get stuck in!

It's the school holidays, so I've done a lot of reading this week. I finished The Upside of Unrequited (5★), read Goodbye Days (3★), and started Orangeboy. They're all very different books, and I've enjoyed them all for different reasons.

My Week In Books (1st April)

I thought this would be a quiet week for books, but how wrong I was. Here's what I acquired!

• Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 
• The Wildings by Nilanjana Roy
• The Hundred Names of Darkness by Nilanjana Roy
• Becoming Betty by Eleanor Wood 
• The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas 

There's also a few new reads on my Kindle!

I finished reading The State of Grace this week, which was wonderful (review here). I drifted between books for a while before starting The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli.

Finally, Stripes Publishing made a very exciting announcement this week!

My Week In Books (25th March)

I've had a busy bookish week, so let's dive right in!

I was lucky enough to win this YA book bundle from HarperCollins. There's quite a few I haven't read so I'm excited to get stuck in.

I ordered this gorgeous new edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them from America to add to my collection.

I've been reading The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas this week, and it's wonderful. My review will be up soon!

I was really excited by the (rather beautiful) cover reveal of The Gender Games by Juno Dawson, out 1st June.

My Week In Books (18th March)

It’s been another great week for books. I bought one and acquired another, and was very excited about both.

• The Scarecrow Queen, which I bought to complete the trilogy. 
• All About Mia, sent to me by Kelly for a group read. 

I finished reading The Sin Eater's Daughter trilogy, and read The King of Rats. You can read my thoughts on it here (spoiler: I'm in love).

I was really excited to hear about Holly Bourne’s new book, It Only Happens In The Movies. I've loved all of Holly’s books, and know this one will be just as good.

My Week In Books: (11th March)

I've acquired two books and bought one book this week, so it's been pretty successful!

• I was sent Waiting for Callback: Take Two by Simon & Schuster after winning a Maximum Pop! competition. 
• I was sent a proof After The Fire by the lovely people at Usborne.
• I bought Mad Girl by Bryony Gordon after reading Grace’s blog.

I've powered my way through The Sin Eater's Daughter and The Sleeping Prince by Melinda Salisbury, and am moving on to The Scarecrow Queen.

I'm really excited for Like Other Girls by Claire Hennessy, the cover of which was revealed this week.
