Shadows by Paula Weston - An aussie book so it's bound to be great, right? I'm reading this at the moment and like it already.
Any Other Night by Anne Pfeffer - Originally titled Loving Emily with a different cover. I wanted to read this after Nicola's great review.
The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke - After Throne of Glass, I've decided I'm in love with the idea of assassins and fantasy. Very eager to start this!
(Thank you to Text Publishing/Paula, Anne and Strange Chemistry/NetGalley)
Losing Lila by Sarah Alderson - I nearly passed out when this turned up. More Alex for me!
From What I Remember by Stacie Kramer and Valerie Thomas - This was a Read Now book on NetGalley so I couldn't resist. I have to admit it sounds very entertaning!
Forgiven by Jana Oliver - Finished this very recently and enjoyed it. Review to follow soon!

ReplyDeleteI got me Any Other Night as well, don't know when I'll start it though. I've seen The Assassin's Curse around a lot, and the more I look at it, the more I start to like it. I'll have another look into that, might add it. Shadows looks interesting, too. Demon Trappers and Huntig Lila are still on my tbr, whenever that's gonna happen...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm sure you're going to enjoy them all. Happy reading!

O_O Losing Lila! I am so excited about your review. Have a great time with Alex, Sam. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many great things about The Assassin's Curse, I didn't request it as I'm trying not to request new books until I clear my schedule a little bit, but I'm sure I'll read it at some point.
