Book Haul! (154)

Book Haul is a weekly feature here on Katie’s Book Blog. It is not something I created and I take no credit for it. Anyone who wants to participate can and you don’t necessarily have to call it a book haul. It is a list of what books you have received over the previous week, either for review, from the library, from the bookstore, or from trades.

  1. Aww, you got Through to You! I was denied for it on Edelweiss even if I’ve gotten every other HarperTeen title I requested on there. Valkyrie Rising looks really good too, assuming they didn’t mess up Norway in it:p

  2. So many awesome books! I was able to grab a copy of Through to You at ALA and I think I might have actually squealed. SO excited for that one. 😀 Glad to hear you liked Lies Beneath—I got it this week but I’d seen some mixed reviews! Now I’m excited to read it!

    Here’s my goodies!

  3. Wow, AWESOME haul! So many great books! I loved The Summer of Firsts and Lasts, and I hope you do too – not enough people know about that book! I loved the first two books in the Heather Wells series, and I really need to get around to reading the next ones… Hope you enjoy all your books 🙂

  4. Babe in Boyland was really cute. Enjoy!
    You got the ENTIRE Max Ride series? Wow. Just a warning: Not sure about all of them, but my copy of The Angel Experiment (think that’s what it was called–the first one) had an excerpt in the back…of book 5 or something. Really stupid, don’t know why they did it, but it was spoilery.
    I have All These Things I’ve Done near the top of my TBR. My sister just finished and absolutely loved it.

    That’s an eipc load. Enjoy!

  5. This is such a fantastic haul! I’m literally green with envy right now. A great majority of the books that you got for reviews have places on my TBR list. I heard that Crewel is a must read gem among YA literature these days, so I can’t wait to see your thoughts on those.

    I’ve also been really interested in checking out the Maximum Ride novels by James Patterson. I used to love his old work, but lately it’s almost as if he’s turned into an industry. He’s putting his names on books with other authors when it is beyond clear the other authors are doing most of the writing. It’s almost as if he’s tarnishing his own reputation. But it’s James Patterson. Nobody can tarnish his reputation! Is it obvious I had a bad experience with one of these co-authored books? Either way, I’ve always wanted to read this series and I may just pick them up soon.

  6. I’ve never read The Giver series. I know, I suck.

    Don’t Turn Around is supposed to be an awesome techie thriller with a great girl heroine!!
