I am incandescently happy.
For review:
I Will Save You by Matt de la Pena - I've heard fantastic things about this author, and so I'm looking forward to reading this. Thanks, Random House!
Bumped by Megan McCafferty - This utterly made my week when it showed up in my mailbox. Megan is one of my favorite authors (and you all know how I pimp the Jessica Darling books anywhere and any chance I get), and I have been waiting for this book since the deal was announced way back when. Thank you SO much, Megan!
The Transformation of Things by Jillian Cantor - From LibraryThing's Early Reviewer Program! I really enjoyed Jillian's YA novels and I'm sure I'll find the same good qualities in her first adult novel.
From Around the World Tours:
Wither by Lauren DeStefano - Okay, you guys. So, this book? It is INCREDIBLE. Definitely worth your wait and your money. I highly encourage you to preorder it NOW if you haven't yet already...and, knowing me and how selective I am in books I rave about, that's saying something.
Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann - I'm in the middle of reading this right now. Lisa McMann fans will not be disappointed. It's so creepy!
Swapped:
In Dreams Begin by Skyler White
Love and Other Four-Letter Words by Carolyn Mackler
The Wager by Donna Jo Napoli
I've also been plowing through the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels that I've borrowed from my library, lol. Hooray for books! Hope you guys had a good week as well!
Wow, great batch of books! and OMG you've read WITHER! Definitely super excited about that one :) Even more so that it's got a seal of approval from you ;)
ReplyDeleteI can not wait to read Cryer's Cross and Wither!!! They both look incredible! I
ReplyDeletem looking forward to your reviews on them :D Happy reading!
Ok...if I don't get BUMPED by Dystopian February, promise me you'll let me borrow your copy when I visit at the end of January?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - WITHER! I am still thinking about it weeks later.
SO JEALOUS of Bumped and Wither. *drool*
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! I'm dying to read each and every one of those books! I would have been doing the happy dance, too. Enjoy--can't wait to read your reviews.

The bumped cover is so simple but i'm really intrigued, never heard of her before.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read LisaMcMann's new one, I loved her Wake Trilogy.
Great collection for you.
Soooooo jealous about Bumped! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! Megan McCafferty is the best!

ReplyDeleteAhh... BUMPED!
ReplyDeleteOkay, totally jealous of both "Bumped" and "Wither." Hope you enjoy them!!
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed Wither will make it's way to my mailbox!:) I'm so glad you're reading Scott Pilgrim! Have you seen the movie? They did such a great job taking the books to the screen and they captured actual comic panels right on the movie screen-it was awesome!
ReplyDeleteLike GBTQ I'm hoping to see Wither! You had a great week :)
ReplyDeleteI am officially envious of the Bumped ARC. XP I'm hoping I win her ARC contest giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh and Cryer's Cross! I love Lisa McMann, too. :D
Oh oh oh! Bumped and Wither! That's amazing! Sorry for the abundance of exclamation points, but this is serious business and you have MUCH to be excited about this week. I cannot wait to hear you thoughts on these two :)
