New Review Books:
Thanks, Harlequin Teen.
When I read that Michelle Rowan was going to revamp her July 2008 adult novel as YA, of course I went out and read the original! I'm excited to compare them!
What's new with you? Let me know in comments and leave me a link so I can visit you back. One of my weekend goals is catching up on comments!
Countdown looks good, hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteIt was fun!
DeleteI've been seeing Countdown in practically everyone's book hauls lately. I hope you'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks so much! You too ;)
DeleteHmmmm I'll have to check out Countdown. I think I read the adult novel.
ReplyDeleteMy friend is having a nervous breakdown trying to get Endless Knight lol
As far as I can remember, they are pretty similar but the adult version is rated R while the YA version is more PG-13...
DeleteFunny....I got an e-arc of Endless Knight. So I'm very excited to be reading that next. Countdown looks fantastic. Come visit me as well.

I'll be by tomorrow morning!
DeleteCountdown sounds good. Can't wait to see what you think. Also, sorry about sucking on commenting this week. :)
ReplyDeleteAhh… I've been terrible too. I've been so busy this month.
DeleteOh I didn't know Rowan was doing that-interested to see how it turns out. My weekend, as I just shared, is about catching up on commenting since I had basically no time on Thursday and Friday. I probably need to write around 100 comments on these two days plus I'd like to read 4 books if possible (or at least 3.) I need more time!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have a bunch of comments to catch up on too!
DeleteHow was the original one? I'm now tempted to go out and grab it before the YA version comes out.
ReplyDeleteI read the original back in the spring, but they are pretty similar, except the adult version is way steamier….
DeleteI'm hungry and really craving something fatty...on a book side, I'll be doing the YA Scavenger Hunt this year. Woot!
ReplyDeleteI am always hungry. It's terrible!
DeleteMichelle Rowen is a pretty versatile writer so I'm pretty excited to read her new project. Looking forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteHAppy reading. :)
It was a fun book!
DeleteI also received Countdown for review, I haven't read anything by her yet so I am really curious to!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Jen! <33
She writes under a variety of different pen names, so you might have :)
DeleteHappy reading!

Countdown looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Countdown! And I'm hopping to your review of This Song Will Save Your Life!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading

I just finished Countdown yesterday. Really enjoyed it. I had no idea that it was a revamp of an adult novel until I read the acknowledgements. I can't wait to see you compare the two. And I reviewed The Dream Thieves last week too! :) Great week!

Countdown looks like an interesting book, it's been a while since I've started a new dystopian series. I feel like I'm that last lonely person who hasn't read The Raven Boys yet haha. Hope you have a great week!

Countdown sounds really good, and I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
I read the new Countdown but not the original. I'd be interested in reading a comparison post to see what changes were made.
ReplyDeleteAHHH! So excited for Endless Knight!!!
