Owl Post #2

Welcome to this week's Owl Post!

Inspired by The Story Siren's In My Mailbox, Owl Post allows us bloggers to showcase the books we've bought, won or received throughout the week and is hosted by Brodie over at Eleusinian Mysteries. We all know that the Owl Post is the fastest way to send and recieve mail and they certainly make me happy every time they drop a book off.

So the owls have been a little lazy lately, not dropping books off for weeks and then all of a sudden.....Oh, alright. That's a fib, basically I've been too lazy to do a post. Happy? LOL.
Things have been bonkers at home recently and whenever I think I'll write an Owl Post I kinda don't. Forgive me?

Anyway, here are the books I've gotten recently.......


For Review:  

 

From Allen & Unwin.....

-Witch by Fiona Horne

Hadn't heard of this one until it turned up on my doorstep. Looks like a nice, quick read.

 

.....Thank you!

 

 

From HarperCollins Australia.....

-I, Wolf by Matt Boyd

The first thing that struck me about this book was it's cover. It's so cool. Read this one already and wasn't too bad.

 

-Arise by Tara Hudson

Tara's debut Hereafter was a favourite of mine when it was first released and I've been eagerly awaiting it's follow up Arise for what seems like forever. Cannot wait to read this! And how purdy is that cover?!?!   -Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr This book sounds amazing!! Cannot wait to dive into it. I must say I'm not a massive Melissa Marr fan, but this book just sounds too good to resist. And it came with a fun mask too. Totally cool!   ......Thank you Eve!     From Simon & Schuster..... -Losing Lila by Sarah Alderson *can't breathe* Gaaaaaahhhhh. Omg, omg, omg. Losing Lila! *so happy* So thrilled to have this. Alex. Alex. Alex. I want some Alex. And Lila. And Jack. And Suki. And Nate.....well you get the picture. Basically, I cannot wait to start this book!   -Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. Again, another book I hadn't heard of until it turned up on my doorstep, but since then I'd done my research and boy....do people love this book! Everyone's raving about it and me thinkie I may have to bump it up my to-read list a notch! Oh. And that cover's just trey awesome.   .....Thank you Caroline--you're a goddess!     From Bloomsbury Australia.... -Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas Read the cover peeps....Throne. Of. Glass. Throne of Glass, people. This book has been one I've wanted to get my [greedy] little hands on since I read the descriptions ohhhhh so long ago. Basically, it's a fight, not to walk over to my shelf and start reading it right now. This....looks....EPIC!   ......Thank you guys!     -Blood Storm by Rhiannon Hart   Oh my goodness. Blood Storm. As in sequel to Blood Song, as in more RODDEN!! Why is it I'm not reading this right now?!?! I want to believe me I want to. SOOOOOOO Looking forward to this one. The first book was ah-mazing.   ....Thank you Dorothy--You're a legend!     From HarlequinTEEN Australia...... -Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter. Here's a really important fact you should know about me....I am 100% a Gena Showalter fangirl. Like totally. Embassingly so. As in, if she toured Oz I'd camp out in the rain/outside hotels kind of fangirl. Well, maybe not that far. I'm not that creepy, but I seriously adore every Showalter book I've picked up, and I've read a fair few. So to say I was practically dancing on the ceiling when this arrived would be an undertstatemeant. I devoured it in one go (review to come). And how good was it?!?! Anyone who's read this already will know what I mean. It's not even released yet and I'm already counting the days down until book #2.   -Legacy by Cayla Kluver I believe I mentioned in my last post that I received the sequel to this for review, but hadn't had a chance to read the third. Well, lucky for me the amazing publicist over at HarlequinTEEN Australia was able to find me an old ARC! So now I can read this one!   ....So thank you so much Polina--I seriously heart you!     I Bought:

 

  -Sweep: Volume 4 by Cate Tiernan This is actually one of my all time fave witch series. I seriously love it. I'm making my way through it real slow. Every few months I'll buy the next volume, and I decided recently I needed by Morgan and Hunter *cough* *cough* hit.   -Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout Onyx! Onyx! Onyx! Daemon! Daemon! Daemon! Oh. Wow. Did I really write that? Basically, that's the chant that's been working it's way over and over through my head since I finished this book. *SQUEEEEE* Onyx. Was so good. As good as or better than Obsidian. Now I NEED Opal and my life will be complete ;)   -Awaken Me Darkly by Gena Showalter -Savor Me Slowly By Gena Showalter -Red Handed by Gena Showalter I did mention I was a Gena Showalter fangirl right? Good, because after the brilliance of Alice in Zombieland I decided I wasn't getting enough Gena in my diet. So I went out and bought her entire Alien Huntress Series and the first YA Alien Huntress series to fix that. These are more or less the only Showalter books I haven't read (aside from a few stand alones that I will get to one day) so I'm really excited to finally read this series!       I Recieved:

 

 

The ever lovely to talk to Kiki Hamilton was kind enough to send me some signed swag to celebrate her second book The Torn Wing's release! Kiki is just a gem and while I haven't had a chance to read her books yet (I have the paperback copy of The Faerie Ring on pre-order!) I love stalking---err visiting Kiki's blog cos she's just that awesome!  THANK YOU SO MUCH KIKI <3

 

 

 

Phew! Well that's me for now! Tell me what the owls dropped off in YOUR mailbox this week!
