received/ purchased/ borrowed during the week.
How is everyone this Easter weekend? I hope you're having a great long weekend. I had a fantastic week, and even though we're supposed to have a snow storm tonight, I'm definitely feeling the spring season! I love it! So this week on the blog I had a cover reveal on Monday with two fabulous new covers - here - you must check it out if you missed it! I also had the Pure Blog Tour drop by for a short excerpt here. And you can still enter my 2000 Followers Giveaway here for those who may have missed it.
I am really excited for my haul this week, beyond words! Ashen Winter is the sequel to one of my favorite books ever - Ashfall. I squeeed for days when I saw it up on Netgalley. Then I got JL Bryan's books which I am super excited to continue after reading the awesomeness that is Jenny Pox. And guess who makes yet another appearance!? Hint: LOVE her face!
Let's see what I got for review this week (click on cover or title links for Goodreads):
When Rhiannon asked me to test read her upcoming zombie novel: The Last Bastion of the Living; obviously, I immediately jumped at the chance (literally!) - and I can promise you it is ALL kinds of awesome. No freaking joke: It's blowing my MIND! This IMM post is late because of it.
This is another one not to miss, guys! She's hoping to have it finished for release this summer. Click on the "non-cover" below to add it to your Goodreads!
*Thanks so much to Tanglewood, Flux Books, J.L. Bryan, Kevin Emerson and Rhiannon Frater for these copies*
And of course, I bought this:
Yup, I did. Laugh all you want Katie, she rocks my face! I already read The Tale of the Vampire Bride and I freaking loved it! So much so I needed to get me these gorgeous print copies. My review will be posted soon!
Phew!
What did you get this week?
Link me up! :)
EEP! I am som excired for Ashen Winter. I loved the first book!
ReplyDeleteI've never read Ashfall, I'll have to add it to my TBR. I'm loving the Songs of Magic series by J.L. Bryan, I can't wait to dig into the Paranormals! Great haul, as always!
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
Ohhh Ashen Winter! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on that. Have a lovely Easter!
ReplyDeleteOohh Ashfall's sequel? I still have that hanging on my bookshelf gathering dust. Eeks! You also have Lost Code which looks kind of epic :P
