Extra Extra 10!

Extra! Extra!

Extra! Extra! is my weekly Sunday post featuring brand new additions to my TBR pile as well as a summary of what's coming up on the blog. I'm going to try mixing it up by linking to different weekend posts.

Today I'm linking to Stacking the Shelves @ Tynga's Reviews and Sunday Post @ Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

What's new with me? Well, I got these two books this week:


This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers (bought and reviewed last week. I HATE zombies, so what did I think of this book? Click here to read my review.)

Cold Fury by T. W. Goeglein (traded with Heather @ Flyleaf Review!)

Not pictured:

Venom by Fiona Paul (This was one of the books that eluded me at BEA, so I traded ARCs with a friend and finally nabbed it.)

What am I going to be reading in the coming week?


Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols
Team Human by Sarah Rees Brennan and Justine Larbestelier

My Freebie Friday winner, as selected yesterday by Random.org:


Commenter #9 -- Brookea_2006. 

Brooke chose This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers. If you were dying for that book (no zombie pun intended) I have two more copies to give away, so stay tuned!

What's coming up on the blog this week?

Monday: A review of For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund. Did I love this retelling of this not-so-much-my-favorite Jane Austen? Stop by and see.

Tuesday: Hot Off the Presses keeps you up to date on what's new on the shelves this week!

Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday: I'm doing another themed review series called Before and After. I'm featuring three books that look at life before and after a tragedy: My Life in Black and White by Natasha Friend, Miracle by Elizabeth Scott, and One Moment by Kristina McBride.

Thursday: Patrick and I will also announce the winner of our Golden Lily giveaway. Still time to enter! Scroll down for today's question!

Friday: The TGIF question is about favorite books of the year so far, so of course I'm chewing my nails. I hate picking favorites, which is why I've yet to participate in Top Ten Tuesday. Can I do it? Stop by and see!


Tell me in comments: what's new with you? If you have a post to link to, please do that as well and I'll stop by!

    Heh, I'm totally drooling over the books you've picture. Cold Fury totally looks hardcore, and I've been totally wanting to read it! :) And Team Human too! I loved Sarah's Demon Lexicon and can't wait to read it!

    Enjoy reading! :)

    I need to go over and check out your review of This is Not a Test. I am not into zombies either so I am curious. Excited to hear about Miracle this week. I've been wanting to read that one! :)

    I can't wait to hear what you think of Team Human and Cold Fury. Venom was elusive for me as well, but I know Kate or Kim has it and we're going to have a little Viringia blogger readathon.

    I somehow missed your review of This Is Not a Test, I'll go check that out now. Zombie books aren't usually my thing either, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts:)

    I can't wait to read your review of For the Darkness Shows the Stars, that one has been on my radar for quite a while.And Team Human looks hilarious!

    Nice haul Jen, let me know how you liked Cold Fury:)

    Great set! Cool that you got Venom. I did get it at BEA but it was one of the books that disappeared in the mail :-( Oh well. I'll read it when it comes out.

    I am ridiculously jealous of your copy of Team Human! I have a pretty big author crush on Sarah Rees Brennan so I am eagerly anticipating the release of that novel! Cold Fury also looks really good =)

    Have a great week and happy reading!

    I'm very interested in your review of the Echols book when that comes; I think her writing is fab but her plots often infuriate me, and this sounds like it has the possibility to do so too with the brothers thing. I also like the sound of your themed review week-great idea! I'm looking forward to Miracle the most since I loved it and I love Elizabeth Scott.

      I also feel wary of the brothers love triangle, but we'll see. I've heard great things about it.

    I just bought This is Not a Test today. I know....I know...I don't need anymore books after BEA but I LOVE zombies and I had a gift card.
    That's my story and I"m sticking to it.
    I'm a little nervous but I'm going to go skim your review now....

    I hope you enjoy Such A Rush! I Loved it and Venom. OMG Falco is so amazing! SWOON! I still want to read This Is Not A Test. I am behind on reading your reviews because of my laptop issues. First the power plug thing broke and then Norton made windows crash. I finally was able to backup my hard drive onto my moms computer last night so today I have to wipe my computer and then hopefully it works then I have to put everything I need back on it. Such a pain.

    Ooh Such a Rush. I have only read one Jennifer Echols book so far but she is great so I definitely need to change that lol. I look forward to your review. I went on a Samantha Young kindle buying spree on Amazon so now I have Warriors of Ankh 1-3 and the first 2 Fire Spirit books. I look forward to reading these.
