Library Finds:
I had a great trip to the library this week, I only went in to collect Penumbra by Keri Arthur (the last book in the Spook Squad series) but ended up with time to kill so I did a little browsing. I managed to find the first 3 books in the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs and the first 5 books in the Immortals After Dark Series by Kresley Cole - I've heard great things about both of these series so I'm looking forward to getting started!
Competition Prizes:
I love this House of Night tote bag that I won from Atom Books in a giveaway they had on Twitter, it's a fab series that I'm hoping to re-read & review soon. I also won a copy of ebook Payback in Wayback by Lynda Coker from the Blogmania giveaway at Between The Pages - I love a good cowboy story so I'm looking forward to reading this one!
For Review:
I recieved a paperback copy of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick from Simon & Schuster, I've already reviewed the hardback here but was planning on buying the paperback so I was very happy to have it sent to me. I'll be doing a giveaway for my hardback copy very soon.
I was also really excited when Laura Stamps sent me the 3rd volume of her novel A Vampire's Kiss for review - I've really enjoyed the first 2 volumes and am looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Very nice and you've also encouraged me to dust off my library card and have a scout around the local library!

ReplyDelete@ Lynsey - I'd definitely recommend giving your local library a try. If they don't have the book you want you can order it for about 25p which is great while I'm on such a tight budget!
ReplyDelete@ Christina - I've heard a lot of good things about the Mercy series so I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I also really need to re-read the Vampire Diaries series as I've not read books 5 & 6 yet LOL

@ Rhiana - I love my library! Now that you can renew books online it makes it really easy to make sure you don't end up paying fines.
@ Prophecygirl - I'm looking forward to re-reading the first 4 Vampire Diaries books so I can read the 2 new ones :o) I really want to start watching the TV show too but I've been recording it ready for when I've read the books LOL
@ Mel - LOL looks like you're going to have to get another copy of Hush, Hush - it has the first chapter of Crescendo in it hehe. I'm a nightmare when I go in the library - I was trying to get all my books returned so I could start working through my TBR pile but I just couldn't resist picking them all up LOL :o)
