    Those are some pretty books! I really need to get to Courtney Summers’ books soon because I’ve heard fabulous things about her writing. The Jennifer Brown book sounds fantastic!
    Enjoy your lovelies, Giselle! 🙂

    Great books this week. All the Canadian bloggers getting mail from Hachette makes me pre-stalk my mailbox out here in BC. 😉 I think there’s pressure for Icons to be good, after all of the success with the Beautiful Creatures series.

    I’ve only ever read one book by Courtney Summers, This is Not a test and I absolutely loved it. So I really need to pick up the rest of her books up soon, I’m glad you’re enjoying Cracked Up To Be so far! Thousand Words is another book I can’t wait to get started on! I hope you enjoy all your books Giselle! 🙂

  16. Kat Balcombe

    Oooo lookit all those lovely books! You are a lucky lady with all those fab gifts!

    Can’t wait to hear what you think of the audio for Cracked Up To Be – yeah for bitchy narrators!

  17. Shelley Romano

    My Life As a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland is pretty fun and
    and interesting. Game sounds interesting as well! Should keep you busy for a while anyway!

  19. Jenni @ Alluring Reads

    What awesome gifts you got! I hope you are loving Cracked Up To Be, I really liked it, I like that the narrator is a sassy bitch because she would have to be. How hard is it to hold off on reading Game?!?!?! GAH!

  20. Kristin

    I am so curious about Game, I really enjoyed the first book and I am really wondering what is going to be happening next. Also super curious about Icons, I didn’t love beautiful creatures but wondering what her writing style will be like all by herself. Enjoy your haul!

    I really wanted to request Game – I love the cover but I really should read I Hunt Killers first lol

    i’ve been reading Diana Rowland’s book for a year now. I’m not sure why because I’m enjoying it but it keeps getting pushed aside for review books.

    Happy reading!

  25. Paranormal Book Fan

    I’m not familiar with any of your books this week Giselle. I feel like I’m not managing to get around enough lately and I’m missing out on upcoming books. But happy reading hun, I hope you enjoy your books 🙂

  26. Megan K.

    THOUSAND WORDS and ICONS? Ooh, this is going to be one fantastic week! I hope you enjoy those two, because I’m really looking forward to them. 🙂

  28. Grace Lo

    EEP! So many wonderful books this week, Giselle! I’m especially excited for Game and Icons. (And totally getting creeped out by memories of I Hunt Killers :P) I look forward to reading your reviews! Happy reading! 🙂

    I have a feeling you might like the White Trash Zombie books Giselle. They’re exactly your cup of tea, I think. And wee, I’m so excited about Game. I liked I Hunt Killers a lot, but I especially liked the audio so I think I’ll wait for this one as well.
    Enjoy your pretties!

  31. Aneeqah

    So many lovelies as usual, Giselle! I’m really looking forward to Icons, to see how Margret Stohl does writing on her own. And Game! I’m really excited to see what the author has up next for us. And I really want to try out an audiobook, and it seems like Cracked Up To Be might be the perfect one to try out, because it’s a Courtney Summer book and I’ve read so many raving reviews.

    Happy reading, Giselle! <3

  33. Kara_Malinczak

    Interested to hear your thoughts on Icons. Glad there is a new cover now because that one is terrible.

    I know your taste because I picked them from your wishlist! 😀

  35. Amy

    Fantastic haul chick!! Ohhh I am going to have to try out that audiobook. I love audiobooks. I’ve become obsessed with them. Lol!

  36. Christina

    I’ve heard such great things about Barry Lyga’s series and Jennifer Brown. Good luck with Icons, though. Margaret Stohl’s story in Shards & Ashes was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.

    YAY! I am both sexy and sassy. I approve of this description. 🙂

    OMG, I have been wanting to read Babe in Boyland since FOREVER ago! I think I even have a copy on my kindle. It just looks like a fun and cute story. Thousand Words and Icons look really good. I LOVED This Is Not a Test and have been wanting to read more books by Courtney Summers. I hear this one is great too.

  41. Micheline D

    All of these books look perfect for you & I hope you love them all Giselle!! Can’t say I’ll likely read too many of these (maybe Icons?!) but I’m thinking you REALLY will 😀 Congrats on the extended b-day goodies & everything else!
