Thirteen new books! Please excuse me while I go get reading!
Woah thats a lot of books!!! Something Strange & Deadly looks really interesting – I’ve requested it again after tweaking my request bio so crossing my fingers I’m approved this time 🙂
Across the Universe was a fantastic book, this reminds me at some point when I’ve completed some of these reviews that all seem due in the next couple of weeks that I really should read the sequel and see what happens! It was so well wrapped up however I don’t have the biggest urge to read it hence why I haven’t yet and why I loved this book so much.
Finnikin of the Rock and Cinder are both on my to-read list too so am looking forward to seeing what you think!
Hope you have a couple of QR meltdowns mid trip to work so you can get some of these read 😛
I know, I may have to miss my stop accidentally-on-purpose to get a bit of extra reading time 😉
All the reviews I read of Across the Universe raved about how wonderful it is so I’m really looking forward to it!
Good luck with your new request!
Yay book binges! I’ve heard great things about Finnikin and that is A LOT of request acceptances! *cheer*
