Thanks so much to Little Brown and Macmillan!
I am the hugest fan of the Curseworker series and can't wait to try Holly Black's new book.
I'm hosting Gabrielle Zevin as part of Authors Are Rock Stars -- so this is perfect timing :)
And I'm reading the Jessica Darling series this summer -- more perfect timing!

Still super excited for the Gabrielle Zevin tour-definitely one of my favorite trilogies and I hope the ending is strong!
ReplyDeleteHope your vacation is going well-I'm thinking of you while I labor away at my office :)
I can't wait to get my hands on Holly Black's new book, The Coldest Girl and Coldtown! It sounds amazing. Enjoy your vacation and amazing ARC's.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Curse Workers Series too, so I am very very excited for The Coldest Girl in Coldtown!

In the age looks good, hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteI just finished All these things I've done and loved it. I don't understand why so many people didn't though.
ReplyDeleteWell, tastes differ.
The other books sound great too.
Happy reading and have a great vacation!

Whoo, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown! I cannot wait for that one to come out. I read the short story years ago and I'm so excited that it's going to be a full-length novel. Holly Black is one of my favorite authors. Hope you love it :)

hope your enjoying your vacation. I really need to start reading Megan's books.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am with you on the Holly Black book! Can't WAIT to read Coldest Girl in Coldtown! I also got In The Age of Love and Chocolate! One of my favorite series!
ReplyDeleteI have the first two books in that Gabriel Zevin series ... actually, I got the second one unsolicited for review, and then BOUGHT the first one. Still haven't started, though I really should!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read ANY Holly Black! I saw that one in a publisher's newsletter, but still wasn't sure if I want to try yet ... we'll see!
Have a good week, Jen!
I can't wait to see what you'll think of TCGiC! hurry up and start reading ;-P

ReplyDeleteHappy Reading
My Haul: http://wwwthebookshelves.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-to-shelves-29-one-where-i-love.html
Super cool! I'm excited to read the new book by Holly Black.
ReplyDeleteSuper excited to read all three of those, especially Coldtown. Awesome haul this week, happy reading! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just read Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin and I LOVED it. Was unsure about this chocolate is illegal dystopian series of hers though I might give it a try now. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown sounds intriguing. Hope you are enjoying your vacation! I somehow ended up with my third summer cold. I haven't been sick in years and now I'm sick in the summer. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOooooh. Can't wait to read your review for Coldest Girl!! I haven't read the Curseworker series yet, but Holly Black's Modern Faerie series was fun and her book is the first vampire book that Little Brown has picked up since Twilight. Hearing her speak about the enduring appeal of vampires has quite whet my wanting for that book :D. Hopefully you'll enjoy it as well as the other two e-ARCs you got!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to get to Coldtown. I loved her Curse Workers series so hard! Not a fan of that Gabrielle Zevin series, though. I never connected with the MC, but I did listen to it, and I didn't like the narrator, so that might have something to do with it.
