Nice haul, and I am curious about Reboot, my review of Requiem will post soon. I hope you have a delightful week and ya you linked up! The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteOooh. I pre-ordered This Is What Happy Looks Like since I loved her first one. Reboot, Parallel, and Born of Illusion are all on my tbr. I should pick up Requiem from the library soon. So looking forward to reading it! I skipped your Mind Games review because I'll be reading and reviewing that soon and didn't want to read your review yet. :) I have a couple of reviews this week and some books I'm reading that I'm excited about! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I'm so excited about TiWHLL. Severed Heads, Broken Hearts looks good, too. Enjoy, Jen!
ReplyDeleteBorn of Illusion looks so creepy- love it! ;) Parallel and Reboot too! Congrats to all the winners, and I can't wait for your review this week!
ReplyDeleteDying to read This Is What Happy Looks Like! I've got it pre-ordered. Lots of great HarperTeen books on Edelweiss! I got a bunch of them too. Super excited for Parallel, Transparent, and Reboot. Curious what you thought of Requiem. I did not like the ending as I was expecting but it's growing on me. I didn't like Lena's back and forth. But it was a pretty exciting book.
ReplyDeleteOooh, you got some great e-galleys. I really need to read I Hunt Killers. Seriously, everyone has loved this book!
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to reading This is What Happy Looks Like! I've got it pre-ordered. I still need to read I Hunt Killers. I really thought I'd have that one read by now. *sigh* :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul!! You got a lot of great sounding books!! Can't wait to see your reviews!
ReplyDeleteYou've had a great week! I can't wait to see what you think about Parrallel and This is What Happy Looks Like :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh... This Is What Happy Looks Like AND Game????? I can not wait to hear what you think of both of these... as different as they will be.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...Born of Illusion! Really want to read that one and I love the cover of it AND Transparent:)
