Lost Voices by Sarah Porter
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
From the Store
Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz

Yes, yes, yes! You got Vampire Academy!!! That is one of my favorite series' ever!! Woohoo! I'll admit, though, the first book pales a bit in comparison to the rest. It's like an introductory to the characters and plotline mostly but each book gets better and better. I really hope you like it. ^^
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Spellbound much so I hope it doesn't disappoint you. :/
Nonetheless, happy reading! Looks like you got a great haul there! Some of those are on my TBR list, too! :)
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Great books!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the forest of hands and teeth.
Lost Voices! I loved it! I was rather disappointed with The Forest of Hands and Teeth. =( Both of these books are love 'em or hate 'em type reads.
ReplyDeleteI need to get The Forest of Hands and Teeth! And Vampire Academy is pretty much the best series ever, so enjoy!

Spellbound and Lost Voices both look really good ^-^ I have Vampire Academy on my TBR and am not sure why I haven't read it yet, but i've heard awesome things about it. The Forest of Hands and Teeth is a favorite series of mine! Even if you don't like the first one as much make sure you check out The Dead Tossed Waves :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!

I just wanted to say that I love your blog layout. I love just stopping by because your header just makes me smile! I also love the buttons that you have for weekly memes. Just wanted to know how cute I think your blog is!
ReplyDeleteThe girl on the cover of The Forest of Hands and Teeth looks remarkably like Summer Glau. I just recently purchased that one myself, and I loved the VA series. Great books, here!

I need to read more recent fantasy works. I'm mucking about with books from the 1960s and earlier most of the time. I am clearly missing out.
