I was so thrilled to receive Jekel Loves Hyde by Beth Fantaskey this week! I thought I'd have to wait ages for it to be out in Australia so it was a wonderful surprise.
Also for review I received What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell. This looks like excellent historical fiction and won the National Book Award. Unfortunately the printing is terrible--the pages are wrinkled along the spine. I think this means the paper was cut against the grain. Oops.
The Crowfield Curse by Pat Walsh has such a beautiful, sinister cover. I'm looking forward to a good paranormal mystery! Has anyone read this one?
And lastly, The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. Not a speculative fiction read, but it really grabbed me when I read the first few paragraphs, and people have been so praising of it.
Walker Books released the thrilling book trailer for Patrick Ness's Monsters of Men this week. I am reading this right now and it's so frakking good!
I AM THE CIRCLE AND THE CIRCLE IS ME.
Happy reading!
Excellent-looking books this week! Enjoy. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat books. The Sky is Everywhere is very good but it took me a while to get into it I much prefer the Australian cover to the US one, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
I've been dying to read What I saw and How I lived, I've heard so many good things about it. And I notice you're reading Monsters of Men right now, is it amazing? (so jealous you have a copy!)
ReplyDeleteThe Sky Is Everywhere sounds great! I am jealous. :]
ReplyDeleteMy copy of MoM is STILL not here! It's killing me!
ReplyDeleteEveryone's been pushing The Sky is Everywhere on me, and I think I am starting to come around...
MoM is so frakking good! Yep - I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Jekyll and Hyde myself. I loved her first book. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm all over Patrick Ness's books. Most def!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an excellent haul for you this week. Reminds me that I need to bump The Knife of Never Letting Go higher up in my to-read pile.
ReplyDeleteFab fab!
ReplyDeleteI have What I Saw and How I Lied waiting for me too :)
Awesome books! I still have to read The Ask and The Answer, but I'm already psyched about Monsters of Men. The Sky is Everywhere sounds gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these but they have some great covers. I would probably start with The Crowfield Curse.
