Fresh Batch, posted weekly, keeps you up to date on the hottest releases of the upcoming week.
Flavor of the week:
Torn Away
Jennifer Brown
Publication date: May 6th 2014
by Little Brown BfYR
Born and raised in the Midwest, Jersey Cameron knows all about tornadoes. Or so she thinks. When her town is devastated by a twister, Jersey survives — but loses her mother, her young sister, and her home. As she struggles to overcome her grief, she’s sent to live with her only surviving relatives: first her biological father, then her estranged grandparents.
In an unfamiliar place, Jersey faces a reality she’s never considered before — one in which her mother wasn’t perfect, and neither were her grandparents, but they all loved her just the same. Together, they create a new definition of family. And that’s something no tornado can touch.

Lots and lots of new books this week, I since a variety of reviews coming soon from people I follow. I’ve already read Deep Blue and err, not good for me, but there’s a few I’ve found recently that are here that look and sound fab: Only Everything, Undone, Unbreakable and The Selection series is well loved, so I might consider that soon too.

Hey Giselle! I’m new here. I just came across your site from Ashley’s (Nosegraze) and I gotta say you and Jenni have done a fantastic job here. I love it! I particularly enjoy the blind switching thing you have on the front page that switches to different topics and your blog roll that scrolls like a book instead of the normal scrolling. Nice work and very unique. I haven’t seen that around anywhere else. I’ve been snooping around and reading for a couple of days now and signed up for the newsletter and added you to a couple of things of mine. All legal stockery stuff I assure you. I noticed you said you were Canadian (Maritimes)… me too! 😉 I just had to stop by and say howdie to a fellow Canadian! I think it’s pretty cool that you’re from here and Jenni from clean across the country and you blog together. Another thing I haven’t seen.
Anyway, just wanted to stop by and give kudos where due. You guys read a lot of different books that I don’t think I’ve even heard of some of them so can’t wait to explore some more and find some new reads.
