Insurgent by Veronica Roth - I read it and I loved it. Review to come on May the 1st.
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han - This is my first Jenny Han book and I'm looking forward to reading it. Everyone seems to love this series and I hope the same will apply to me.
Glitch by Heather Anastasiu - I am incredibly excited for this book! I love science fiction and I hope this doesn't let me down. Not a fan of the cover though.
Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride - I would probably never have gone for this book if it hadn't been for Goodreads. There are so many great reviews for this that I can't wait to get started.
Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock - Juhina at Maji Bookshelf urged me into requesting this book after I saw how much she loved it. It's been a while since I've read anything about werewolves.
Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross - This has been getting some great reviews, but even if it hadn't, I would have bought it for the cover alone. That has to be one of the best covers I have ever seen
Cold Kiss by Amy Garvey - I finally have this! After hearing so much about how great this book is, my expectations are pretty high. I hope I'm not disappointed!
That's everything for this week. As always, thank you to the publishers for the review copies. I'm eager to get started on some of these as soon as possible. What books did you get this week? Feel free to leave me your IMM links and I will visit when I can.
Yay, so many great books! I'm looking forward to your review of Insurgent and Hold Me Closer, Necromancer too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you love The Summer I Turned Pretty, it's a love series :)
Finally! Cold Kiss! Oh, I just know you're going to love it, Sam. And Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is hilarious. *sigh* Goodreads is so amazing.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to request Hemlock but was unsure about it. Maybe I should after all.
Awesome post, darling.
Wow, some amazing ones here Sam. I can't wait to read your reviews. Insurgent, need I say any more, I am still waiting on my copy, hope I get it soon or I will never get it done for the 1st. I would also love Hemlock, hope you enjoy them all :)
ReplyDeleteOooh Sam - Glitch! I hope it's good. Where did you get it from? =) The Summer I Turned Pretty is suppose to be amazing too! Enjoy! Donna xoxo
ReplyDeleteGlitch is up on Netgalley! :)
DeleteHa! Why can't I find it? I looked twice now. lol

ReplyDeleteEEEEEEE! SO many awesome books this week, Sam!! I'm DYING to read Insurgent-can't wait for it to be released! <3 I've heard amazing things about Kill me Softly- really can't wait to read it myself :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all those goodies! :D
Oooh, so many amazing books in your mailbox this week, Sam! Kill Me Softly is a fairytale remake which I usually enjoy, but I heard that it's too dark for my taste. I agree though, I'd buy the book simply because of the gorgeous cover! I just received Glitch too - I kind of like the cover LOL. Can't wait to read your amazing reviews on other books too! Happy reading, Sam! :)
ReplyDeleteAaaaaah! *sparkly eyes* It's great that you got Insurgent. I've heard great things about it and I'm going to buy Divergent SOON. Glitch! For me, it's one of the most fabulous-sounding books that will come out this year. I hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteHemlock and Kill me Softly look very good, too.
Have an amazing time reading these wonderful books <3
INSURGENT! Awww, I. Am. Jealous. :D Dying to read it! Will pre-order a copy later this week. :D Can't wait to read HEMLOCK and GLITCH, because they sound sooo awesome. Happy reading! :)

So many great books this week, Sam! I wish I had Insurgent already- I'm so tired of waiting for it!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Kill Me Softly at the moment. It's pretty interesting. And the cover is beyond amazing!
Happy reading :)
I LOVE Hold Me Closer, Necromancer!!! I read it at the end of 2010, so it feels like I've been waiting FOREVER for the damn sequel. Pretty sure it's out later this year. BRODIE EXCITED.
ReplyDeleteYay, I'm glad you loved Unsurgent!! I am ridiculously excited for Glitch, Hemlock and Kill Me Softly. Even more ridiculously excited to read your reviews that will not doubt triple my ridiculously-excited levels :D
ENJOY YOUR NOMMY BOOKS.
A great haul
ReplyDeleteMy IMM!
Looks like a great selection! I read The Summer I Turned Pretty recently, and really enjoyed it - a nice, summery contemporary read. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Insurgent!! And Kill me softly!! YOU YOU!!!!!!!!! Ah. Amazing mailbox Sam! :) I hope you'll enjoy them all :P
ReplyDeletePS: I want Kill me Softly tooooooooooooooooooooooo Aaaaaaaagrrr!! lol :P
Enjoy the weekend sweety <3 <3
Ahhhhh! I'm so jealous!!!!! :( Insurgent and The Summer I Turned Pretty are TOP of my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! Insurgent is DUH! AWESOME! I've been dying to read Hemlock and Glitch.
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
Ahhhh Sam!!!! You have Insurgent and Glitch you lucky girl! I can't wait to read both of those, I may actually be dying a little inside with every day that passes and they're not in my hands. That could be a bit dramatic, but you understand I'm sure:)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant mailbox this week Sam! I'm finally starting Divergent tonight before the release of Insurgent, seriously everyone has been going on about it, so I can't wait as I've been feeling a little clueless lately! Jenny Han is one of my favourite authors! And I absolutely love this series, so I can't wait to see how you find it, I think I'll have to up my stalking of you currently reading shelf even more now! I also can't wait for Hold Me Closer Necromancer and Cold Kiss (I think both Maja and Lisa loved that one!) Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Hemlock, it's quite different from the other werewolf books I've read. Eee, you got Glitch! That books sounds brilliant. Happy reading. :D
ReplyDeletei'd love to read hemlock. enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome haul, Sam! I can't wait to read your thoughts about these books. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to read Insurgent. Glad you enjoyed it. I also like the look of Hemlock and Glitch :)
ReplyDeleteAaaa, awesome books, Sam *-* I can't wait to read Insurgent. Divergent was SO good. Glitch sounds pretty good, too, though I'm kind of tired of distopian books D:
ReplyDelete~Beatriz
Yay! You finally got Hold Me Closer, Necromancer! Can't wait for you to meet Sam, Sam! LOL!!! I had fun reading Glitch, hope you like it too. :))
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to see what you think of Glitch and Hemlock! I want to get my hands on them. And Insurgent too, of course.
ReplyDeleteI have quite honestly heard great things about ALL of these. 0_0 (SPEAKING OF WHICH. HOW DID YOU GET INSURGENT? MUCH JEALOUSY.) The only one I've read is Cold Kiss, and I definitely enjoyed it--there were some things that irked me, but the writing was absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I REALLY hope you like Kill Me Softly. It looks absolutely gorgeous, it sounds amazing, and everyone SAYS it's amazing, so by this point I pretty much expect it to be mind-blowing.
Yeah, still hating you for having Insurgent! :D Hih ;) And oh! Hating you for having Glitch too! :D Just kidding. Really jealous, though :) They all look so awesome. <3 I also have Cold Kiss; it seems awesome ;) Enjoy it all, Sam :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my mailbox. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
Awesome IMM haul this week! Glitch sounds like it's going to be a really interesting kind of book, and I really want to read Hemlock as well-- I wasn't a fan of Cold Kiss but I do hope that you like it!! :D
ReplyDeleteYou can stop on over to see my IMM video and post this week at the link below-- Happy Reading!! :)
Lea @ LC's Adventures in Libraryland
Glad you loved Insurgent. I have still to read Divergent. It is in a pile of library books at the side of my bed that I just can't find time to get to. I have just been approved for Glitch too. I'm looking forward to it, it sounds good. But I am so jealous of Hemlock, this is one I'm really looking forward to.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading :)
Insurgent was AMAZING!!! Glitch and Hemlock sound so good too! Enjoy! :)
ReplyDelete*cheers* Yay for Insurgent and Glitch and Hemlock! I've been DYING to read those!! So glad you have them because now I can read your awesome reviews!! :D I have a Cold Kiss, but never read it. I hear it's sad and I'm just not read for another sad book! lol.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your awesome books <33 And have a great week!

I've seen the Necromancer book, but haven't been motivated to get it. I'm curious what you think of it.

ReplyDeleteGreat Haul this week! I really want Glitch, Hemlock, Kill Me Softly and Cold Kiss!
I think I know why Insurgent is the first book you showed ; it's like everybody's most anticipated book! I agree with you on the Killing Me Softly cover, its all kinds of pretty<3 happy reading!
ReplyDeleteRacquel @ The Book Barbies♥
-thank you&come again.
Cold Kiss has been out for so long, and has been on my wish list ever since it hit the shelves! But I just haven't gotten around to buying my own copy! I need to get on that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all of your goodies!(:

So jealous about Insurgent. I've placed my pre-order for it. Also looking forward to Kill Me Softly.
ReplyDeleteHave fun reading!
Laura @ The Traveling Owl
Insurgent! Oh Sam! I'm so looking forward to that one. Hemlock looks really good as does Hold Me Closer Necromancer. Nice haul. Lots to keep you busy. :)
ReplyDeleteKILL ME SOFTLY! I was brainwashed into buying that book by a friend who claims that it's the best book she's ever read, so I'm REALLY REALLY excited to get it in my hands and for you to read and review it too! :) Plus, take every time that someone in a comment above me said, "I'm so jealous that you have Insurgent" or "You're so lucky!" and multiply it by a hundred -- and you have my comment! I can't wait to read your thoughts on it, Sam! Seeing as it's bound to be epic, you can't stop me from being curious! x)
ReplyDeleteAmazing mailbox this week, Sam! H a p p y r e a d i n g ! <3 :')
Wow! Hemlock, Glitch and Kill Me Softly! *envy*
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I agree with you on the cover of Killing Me Softly. That makes it on my tbr now. Thanks for sharing, and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteEEEEE SAM! You got so many awesome books! I'm looking forward to read your review of Glitch. I'm really dying to read it. I also can't wait to read your review of Hemlock and pretty much all the books you got! :P
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! <3
I really need to try divergent! I hope you'll enjoy all your new books, they look awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
Oooh I can't wait for Insurgent! :) Lucky you for getting an early sneak peek. I just snagged Glitch from Netgalley too, am pretty excited about how potentially awesome that one could be. I wasn't too sure about Hemlock but I may just have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM!
What a bunvh if great books, eagerly waiting for my copy of Insurgent to show up! I just finished Kill Me Softly will be on the blog on Wednesday, I really like it. I just got approved for Glitch based on your recommendation and I have copis of Cold Kiss and the Necromancer book. We have similar taste, my friend.
ReplyDeleteINSURGENT!!!!! Ugh! Need now!! Great haul (; Kill me softly looks really good.
ReplyDeleteHaley@www.passingthepages.blogspot.com
Your books are SO PRETTY this week, Sam! I like the cover of The Summer I Turned Pretty a lot more than the US cover and I agree about Kill Me Softly. :) I hope you enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection! I really loved The Summer I Turned Pretty, I hope you will, too!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I can't wait to see what you think of Necromancer! Definitely not perfect, but soooo fun. :) That's an enviable pile of books you have this week, Miss Sam.
ReplyDeleteWendy @ The Midnight Garden
