What happened on The Flutterby Room this week?

What’s happening on The Flutterby Room next week?

  • 13th May – review of Oracle’s Moon by Thea Harrison

  • 13th to 19th May I am participating in Bout of Books 7.0. You can find out how I’m doing each day here.

Other news?

A final reminder;

Rachel Caine is signing copies of the latest Morganville Vampires book Fall of Night on FRIDAY 17th MAY at 2pm at Waterstones Highcross Centre Leicester. According to the staff she will only be signing for an hour, so if you live nearby you might want to get there in plenty of time.

Any new books?

Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits, and Tea. Its aim is to showcase our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders each week.

This week my TBR pile multiplied. Oops!

  • Mercy Burns (Myth and Magic #2) by Keri Arthur [Goodreads]
  • Destiny Kills (Myth and Magic #1) by Keri Arthur [Goodreads]
  • Nightshade (Nightshade #1) by Andrea Cremer [Goodreads]
  • A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark #2) by Kresley Cole [Goodreads]
  • Dead Ever After (Southern Vampire Mysteries #13) by Charlaine Harris [Goodreads]
  • Doll Bones by Holly Black [Goodreads]
  • The Bell Between Worlds (The Mirror Chronicles #1) by Ian Johnstone (ARC) [Goodreads]

First I would like to say a HUGE thank you to  HarperCollinsChildren’s UK who asked a while back on Twitter if anyone would be interested in getting a spare copy of The Mirror Chronicles. I didn’t think I would be one of the lucky ones, but I am really pleased to get hold of this book early. Secondly I would like to say thank you to my Mum who got me both Dead Ever After and Doll Bones.

That’s it from me this week. Hopefully there will be more than two posts on The Flutterby Room this week, but I’m not willing to make promises I might not keep. Let me know in the comments what you got this week and what happened on your blog and I will try to reply.

See you next week.

I was in my local Waterstones when I noticed a flyer…

This week I’ve got three new books, although technically I could have had one last week… Two I got because of a gift-card from my Aunt and her family for my graduation ceremony. The third is an e-ARC/galley that I got through NetGalley.

  • If I Should Die (Revenants #3) by Amy Plum [Goodreads]
  • This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith [Goodreads]

  • Ink (Paper Gods #1) by Amanda Sun (e-ARC/galley) [Goodreads]

First, a HUGE thank you to Harlequin UK/Mira Ink for allowing me the opportunity to read Ink early. I honestly thought they were going to say no, but I have been really looking forward to reading this book for months and talking to Amanda Sun on twitter so I decided to at least try when I saw it on NetGalley.

I picked both If I Should Die and This Is What Happy Looks Like up from Waterstones on Saturday thanks to a gift-card. I really want to see how Amy Plum’s trilogy ends as I enjoyed the previous two books. I’ve seen This Is What Happiness Looks Like on a LOT of blogs recently, and I’ve been rather curious about it. So when I saw it on the shelf I HAD to pick it up and give it a try.

That’s it from me this week. Hopefully there will be more than two posts on The Flutterby Room this week, but I’m not willing to make promises I might not keep. Let me know in the comments what you got this week and what happened on your blog and I will try to reply.

See you next week.

Well, technically these aren’t new books as they arrived last week BUT as I already had plenty of books for my In My Mailbox post, I thought I would post these this week.

Sooo this week I got…

  • The Secret of Ella and Micha (The Secret #1) by Jessica Sorensen [Goodreads]
  • With All My Soul (Soul Screamers #7) by Rachel Vincent [Goodreads]
  • Walking Disaster (Beautiful #2) by Jamie McGuire  [Goodreads]

I’ve heard good things about The Secret of Ella and Micha on several blogs, so I thought I’d give it a try. I’ve also finally caught up with the Soul Screamers series, and I’m curious about how things will end. I’m looking forward to seeing how Rachel Vincent will end things in With All My Soul. I read and enjoyed Beautiful Disaster, so when I heard there was a sequel I was curious – so I got Walking Disaster.

That’s it from me this week. Hopefully there will be more than two posts on The Flutterby Room this week, but I’m not willing to make promises I might not keep. Let me know in the comments what you got this week and what happened on your blog and I will try and reply.
