received/ purchased/ borrowed during the week.
Guess what lovelies? Spring is in a few weeks! EEP. Can't wait to go out again in the warm sun *sigh*. This week was pretty busy here on the blog. Zombie month is over and I hope you all enjoyed the fabulous zombie posts. March is already starting with a bang: have you all seen the gorgeous Black City cover reveal? You can even read the 1st chapter, AND win an ARC: Click here! It's even open internationally so that's pretty awesome - big thanks to Penguin Books for Young Readers. I also revealed the cover for Karice Bolton's upcoming New Adult book - Lonely Souls. Check it out!
In other Xpresso news; in case you missed it, The Weeping blog tour dropped by on Tuesday for an awesome dream cast, my review and a chance to win a SIGNED copy - have a look! As for future tours, you can look forward to April 23rd when I'll have the Siege tour dropping by. This is the 3rd book in Rhiannon Frater's As The World Dies zombie trilogy, which is an incredible series that you REALLY have to read! You can read my glowing review on the first book here. Well, that's all for highlights this week. Moving on to my mailbox!
I received for review:
This cover is SO shiny and pretty, I really love how it looks in real life.
I just finished it too and it's awesome!
I just finished it too and it's awesome!
*I big thank you to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Taryn Browning, Kendall Grey, Random House Children's Books and Random House Canada for the review copies!
I also received this awesome swag from two of my favorite bloggers: Andrea from The Bookish Babes, and the really neat Hunger Games charm bracelet from Savannah from Books with Bite.
So this is my haul this week!
What pretties did you get?
Leave me a link! :)
Awesome swag and even better books! I also got Inhale this week and I am SO excited to get started. I have seen The Stone Girl twice now this week and I have never seen it before. I love the cover so I really need to go check it out. Great haul and I hope you enjoy all of your reads!
