Freebie Friday is on hiatus this week because I'm away, so I thought I'd start the weekend early!
Extra! Extra! is my weekend post featuring brand new additions to my TBR pile as well as a summary of what's new on the blog.
This weekend I'm linking to Stacking the Shelves @ Tynga's Reviews or to Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
NEW BOOKS:
I have two new books that I just snapped up on Edelweiss:

 |
The Fall by Bethany Griffin -- a retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher!
Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White
REVIEWS:
On the blog, I reviewed Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn. Highly recommend this one if you're a fan of psychological thrillers.
On Goodreads, I reviewed:
The Things You Kiss Goodbye by Leslie Connor, a bleak book about a girl with a bunch of bad relationships.
Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern, a book I'd given up on until my friend Karen from FWIW Reviews urged me to give it a second chance...
Talon by Julie Kagawa, which wasn't the dragon fantasy I was expecting, but still something I enjoyed.

What are you reading this weekend? I'm almost caught up on comments, so leave me one!
I hope you are on vacation and having fun! I'm going to check out your review of Talon. So curious about that one.
ReplyDeleteNot yet but soon!!
DeleteI just posted my review for On The Fence, it's such a cute read, hope you're enjoying it! I'm about to start The Kiss of Deception, so excited!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having an awesome trip out!
So excited to read that one!
DeleteWhat fun books!!! I can't wait to see your reviews :)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I just saw them on Edelweiss and added them to my TBR! Looks like you're planning to read some AWESOME books this week. I've just started The Kiss of Deception but am only about 20 pages in. :)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to watch my review commitments to fall books, but could not resist!
DeleteI reviewed On the Fence yesterday. I really enjoyed that one. And oh I just read The Kiss of Deception and LOVED it! Can't wait to post my review of it (next week I think). Great week!
ReplyDeleteSandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
Have heard great things about both of those books!
DeleteI'm hoping that Kiss of Deception is amazing, since I've heard so many good things about it. Have fun on your trip. It looks like you got a lot of reading done.

Books of Love
Me too -- and I also hope I'll get lots of reading done.
DeleteI just finished The Half Life of Molly pierced and loved it. I think it's one of my all-time favorites, not just for the plot but also because of how the author handles mental illness so well. It just really spoke to me, and I hope you love it too.
ReplyDeleteI thought about grabbing those two galleys off EW, but then I remembered that my September review pile is bigger than it has any business being and I should probably lay off for a while lol.
It's a shame about Talon. I picked it up about a week ago and didn't finish it. I know it has an audience, but that audience isn't me.
I'm excited about Molly Pierce, And I wasn't disappointed in Talon, just ... surprised. I'm not such a big fantasy reader, so the fact that it wasn't fantasy was okay with me.
DeleteI LOVED On The Fence. Just re-read it again recently actually. Ooooh Complicit is good?!?! Wish I would have know sooner. Would have bought a copy for her to sign tonight. She was at the author signing and I saw someone with it but I hadn't heard much about it yet. Glad you still enjoyed Talon. Curious how that one goes. I've liked everything from Julie Kagawa so far so I'm assuming I'll like it.
ReplyDeleteLoved Complicit! And I think you will like Talon...
DeleteOh I'm reading The Vanishing Season as well. I really hope you'll enjoy it and I cannot wait to see your review for it. Illusions of Fate has a really interesting cover. I hope it is good. Great post! :)
ReplyDeleteI will be reading your review of Talon soon, I'm so excited for that one!
ReplyDeleteAnd I also requested Illusions of Fate on EW but I still haven't heard back from them. *crosses fingers*
Happy reading & happy vacation time!
Oooh, I didn't know you already read Talon! Are you going to be posting your review on this blog soon? And I also snagged both of these on EW... I reallywant to read The Fall! It seems so interesting O_O
ReplyDeleteFaye at The Social Potato Reviews
The Kiss of Deception is so freaking amazing!!! I hope you enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteHolly @ Part of that World
YAY for new books! I also got Illusions of Fate, but I didn't bother with The Fall (I didn't enjoy Bethany Griffin's other books). I LOVED The Kiss of Deception, and On the Fence. But hated The Vanishing Season, unfortunately. TALON! I can't wait to see what you thought of that one.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend, Jen!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Okay, nearly every comment on this post professes love for The Kiss of Deception... bumping it up the TBR pile immediately. And I'm planning on reading The Vanishing Season this week as well!
ReplyDeleteAhhh your going to love kiss of Deception! I'm so excited for you to give it a shot! And i can't wait for On The Fence! I just know it's going to be good!
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on retellings (because most of them seem to be fairytale retellings and I don't care for fairytales), but I saw The Fall on Edelweiss and it looks good. I have terrible luck on Edelweiss so I'll probably just read it when it's out.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed on the fence and hope that you do too.
ReplyDeleteLovely covers. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI yet have to read Kasie Wests books but I've only heard great things about them.
can't wait to see what you think of On The Fence
ReplyDeleteI read (and loved) On the Fence last week and will be reviewing it this week. I'll be reading The Kiss of Deception too and will be reviewing that soon. I'm really looking forward to it!
