New books!
Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson
New Winners!
Winner of this week's Freebie Friday was....
Donna ... who chose the Carnival of Souls ARC!
And don't forget to enter to win one of three great new YA releases in my stop on the Back to the Books Giveaway Hop!
What Happened on the Blog this past week?
I reviewed Something Strange and Deadly -- and wanted more zombies? What?????
I reviewed Defiance -- and prompted a conversation in comments about the LOST smoke-monster. What was that thing, anyway?
What's up for next week?
Reviews of The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna and I Swear (see above).
Hope you'll stop by!
Tell me what you're up to in comments or leave me a link to your post!
Both of those books sound great! Can't wait to read your review of The Lost Girl. I really enjoyed that book.
ReplyDeleteI'm finishing it right now. LOVE it.
DeleteConfessions of a Murder Suspect is already out?!? Ahh, can't wait! Read an excerpt of it from Nevermore, and I gotta say, it sounds really cool! And its cover is pretty kickass! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to Donna! Hmm... hopefully that ARC of Throne of Glass will be up for grabs in next week's FF too! :D
And what was that LOST smoke-monster? I don't remember anymore... I watched the entire series- except the last season where all questions were answered! *facepalm*
I think the Patterson book comes out later in September. His other YA series was not my kind of thing, but I've loved his mysteries, so I'm excited to give this a try!
DeleteCan't wait to hear what you think about Lost Girl!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it. Almost finished.
DeleteNice haul. Confessions looks really good. Hope you have a great week.

Thanks so much!
DeleteI'm currently reading Throne of Glass-was hating the MC (copy too far away to confirm spelling of her name) and somehow have grown to have some sympathy for her! How did that happen? Not sure. I'm not loving it as much as I wanted to but I think I have a lot of thoughts to share when I write my review. I'm also really excited for Labor Day tomorrow when I'm having my own mini-readathon!
ReplyDeleteI liked Throne of Glass. It was the perfect level of fantasy and action for me. Look forward to hearing what you thought.
DeleteI am up to being BIG... about 5 weeks left! I also started DRowning Instinct by Ilsa Bick. She is my new favorite author. Love her writing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that one, but I did read Ashes, as you know...
DeleteI haven't heard of your new books but I am looking forward to your review of The Lost Girl! I am waiting for my copy to arrive. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great book!
DeleteConfessions sounds great, hope you love it.

DeleteConfessions of a Murder Suspect has me so intrigued, i cannot wait for your review! Great reviews this week and I look forward to next week. Thanks for being a part of The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
DeleteI've never heard of I Swear before, but it looks good. I usedto be a fan of Patterson's Maximum Ride series, but quit. I'm looking forward to see what readers think of this new series. I hope you enjoy the books!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteGreat haul Jen! I really liked your review of Something Strange and Deadly! I'm reading Dearly Departed and are they kinda the same? And I need to read your review of the Lost Girl! :) Happy Reading and Labor Day! :)

Someone told me that Dearly Departed has lots of zombies..... true??
DeleteThey look good, I've yet to read Patterson but I've heard he's so good.
ReplyDeleteHis books are fun to read. Hope I like this one!
DeleteBoth of those sound pretty awesome! I'm excited to see what you thought of The Lost Girl!
ReplyDeleteI find it harder to write reviews when I really liked the book. Working on it!
DeleteI enjoyed your review and the Smoke Monster discussion! I have been hearing great things about Lost Girl! I hope it ends up being a great read for you. Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wish someone could have explained what that thing was!
DeleteConfessions of a Murder Suspect sounds great.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books, and happy reading.
Here's my weekly book haul: Saturday on the Shelves

Thanks so much!
DeleteI am DEFINITELY going to have to check out Something Strange and Deadly -- it looks great!
ReplyDeleteI really liked it!
DeleteI've never heard of those books. Glad to hear you are loving Lost Girl! I love Sean! I had a dream last night about the Carnival of Souls book. I was trying to order the audio book online but couldn't find it in my dream. I am hoping to get the audio book from the library since Spike from Buffy is the narrator so I guess my dream self really wanted that book.
ReplyDeleteSpike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI want to read Lost Girl bad! And I really liked Something Strange & Deadly..
ReplyDeleteHope you entered my giveaway then!
DeleteI love the cover for I Swear!! It looks like my kind of book.
ReplyDeleteNot sure it's mine -- lots of POVs. But I do like issue books!
DeleteCONFESSIONS OF A MURDER SUSPECT ticks all the boxes. I hope it lives up to expectations.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Donna!!
Me too!
DeleteUh-oh, Confessions of a Murder Suspect, eh? Sounds like someone's been copying down my diary! ;) I might have to read that one.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha -- I'll see if they catch her in the end!
DeleteCongrats to Donna! Confessions of a Murder Suspect sounds pretty good, and the cover looks great. I'll have to check that one out.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
I'm enjoying it so far.
DeleteBoth of these are new to me, I like the sound of I Swear - enjoy your reading, hun!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteCan't wait for your thoughts on The Lost Girl, Jen!
ReplyDeleteEep -- need to get my thoughts in order!
DeleteI join all the other in saying I can't wait for your Lost Girl review! That book has been on my radar for awhile!
ReplyDeleteOMG -- the pressure. Now I have to think of something intelligent to say.
DeleteAfter re-reading my posts, most of which ramble and are missing important letters and words- There can be no pressure for intelligence from me. Some squeeing from you during your review, maybe :)
DeleteWhat? You left one letter off. You should see what autocorrect and fast typing do to some of my comments! They're complete gibberish sometimes...
DeleteNice haul this week! I want to read Confessions of a Murder Suspect. And The Lost Girl totally sounds like MY KIND OF BOOK! So I'm definitely looking forward to your review! :D
ReplyDeleteGot to get that one written today!!!
