Sunday Book Share #5

 

I'm participating in both The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer and Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Each meme allows book bloggers the chance to share books they've received, and different posts and events at their blog.

This has been a busy week on the blog and I finally feel like I'm back in my groove. School is settling down, I'm not perpetually exhausted any more and I'm even healthy, well what constitutes healthy for me. :D

Reviews: Ashen Winter by Mike Mullin (a must read!) 
Alpha and Omega: Cry Wolf Volume One Patricia Briggs, et al
Silent Samaritan by James Tucker

 Giveaways: Banned Books Week Blog Hop (now ended)
Until There Was You by Jessica Scott 10 copies, ends 10/13
The Recruit by Monica McCarty 1 copy, ends 10/13

News: Penguin Donates to Breast Cancer Research
I rant about ebooks and deceptive advertising


Review Books



Bought


This is such a good series; it's dystopian YA and wonderfully written. I have both books in eARC and in hardcover. Now I just need Mike to come back this way so I can get this book signed too.

      The funny thing is that I'm not even a dystopian fan nor do I read a lot of YA, but these books are just so damn good. Long, often dark, but so. damn. good.

    Looks like you've had a pretty awesome week. I haven't read Ashfall or Ashen Winter, but they're both on my TBR list! Maybe one day I'll get around to them.

    Check out my IMM & SP.

      Hi Sandy, welcome. I strongly encourage you to move the Ashfall books higher up the pile. But make sure you have no other commitments before you start reading, you will be busy reading for hours!
