Tower Of Books!
For Review:
The Incorrigible Children Of Ashton Place: The Unseen Guest by Maryrose Wood (accepted review copy for blog tour)
Miles From Ordinary by Carol Lynch Williams (unsolicited paperback review copy) – I have the hardcover as well, so expect a giveaway when I read and review Miles From Ordinary
Where It Began by Ann Redisch Stampler (Vine) – Pumped about this book because it’s contemporary, debut ALSO THERE IS A MAKEOVER INVOLVED.
Neversink by Barry Wolverton (Vine) – You guys, it’s pubbed by Walden Pond Press, so I know that I am in for an AWESOME middle grade read.
Something Like Normal by Trish Dollar (Netgalley) – Totally screamed when I got the approval. Trish is so awesome on twitter. AND Carla has been recommending SLN and I trust Carla implicitly.
Grave Mercy by RL LaFevers (Netgalley) – Please, we ALL got this book and it was a cheer heard round the world as everyone woke up to that Netgalley email and jumped around because HELLO fighting nuns and fantasy? THAT IS THE SHIT.
Awkward by Marni Bates (accepted copy for blog tour) – I read this the other night and LOVED it. Perfect breezy contemporary read. Look for my review and giveaway March 21st!!
Purchased:
The Butterfly Clues by Kate Ellison (SIGNED)
Liesl And Po by Lauren Oliver (SIGNED)
Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver (SIGNED)
Making Waves by Tawna Fenske (Kindle, it was 1.79 and Mary at The Book Swarm recommended her)
Shades Of Milk And Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal (Kindle; only $2.99)
Won:
Invisible World by Suzanne Weyn (Okay, so every time I go to an Oblong Books signing, they let you browse their galleys and take one home and this one is about the Salem witch trials so it kept calling to me and I could NOT resist)

I want to read The Unseen Guest SO BAD! I loved the first two Incorrigibles books. I’ll probably wait for the audiobook to come out though because Katherine Kellgren is a rock star narrator and she made those books come to life even more than they do on their own.
I’ve heard Neversink is awesome. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.

Ooh I’m jealous of your Lauren Oliver signed books! I hope to meet her at a signing soon. Awkward sounds great- I’m always looking for contemporary recs.
Something Like Normal sounds good too. I’ll have to remember that one.
Happy reading April!

Wow, you had an awesome week. 🙂 Where it began was a good book, it wasn’t one of my favorites but I am sure you will enjoy it. I am jealous of the signed copies of Liesl and Po and Pandemonium. I still need to pick up a finished copy of Pandemonium soon. ^_^ Hope you enjoy all of the books you got this week, and I appreciate you stopping by my IMM.
Oh is Pandemonium out already? I had no idea! This is what happens when you don’t get much internet time anymore and you stop visiting book shops because you’re SUPPOSED to be on a book buying ban even though you keep sneaking onto the Book Depository … 😉
These books sounds great. Looking forward to your thoughts!

DUDE, Neversink is the BOMB. I loved it. So freaking cute, and I reeeeally want a Puffin now!! 🙂
Also I really need to buy Pandemonium soon! Want it right now. NEED it. Liesl & Po is totally cute and I also need to buy a finished copy of it. <3 I really loved it.
happy reading!

I feel that’s a pretty good summary of the blogoshpere’s reaction to Grave Mercy! Also I hadn’t heard of Neversink yet but ZOMG PUFFINS. SQUEE!!! Puffins are my favorite bird, I love them so freakin much, I cannot wait to hear more about this book. Luckily my library already had it in the catalog as on order, so request is in!

I’ve never heard of The Inncorrigible Children of Ashton Place but it has that look to it like Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. That book was really good so I’m VERY curious on this one 🙂
Uniquely Moi Books recently posted..Review: Glimmer by Pheobe Kitanidis
The Incorrigible Children sounds so awesome.
Mostly the title sounds so awesome and you know how this kid loves a middle grade read.
I notice your links and I approve! MWAH.

I’m excited for Grave Mercy and Where It Began, I hope you like them! The Butterfly Clues sounds really interesting, going to have to make sure that that one is on my list 🙂
Enjoy your stack!!!
Oh, I loved, loved, loved WHERE IT BEGAN – it’s fabulous so I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. I was also incredibly happy about the NetGalley email and can’t wait to start GRAVE MERCY; I expect it to be amazing. The other books you got are awesome, too, so I hope you’ll have a lot of fun reading them! 🙂
Have a lovely week,

I think you could literally hear all the screaming and jumping from everyone when they got Grave Mercy. I have to admit there was a bit of jumping, and a high-fiving with my four year old over here(not that she knew what it was about) I hope you enjoy all your new books!
Chandra recently posted..In My Mailbox: Where I Get Witch Eyes!
I still haven’t read Delirium and I really need to.. everyone raves about it and then I can get to Pandemonium. I am going to check out Invisible World, I am from Massachusetts so the anything Salem related grabs my attention! Great list!
Cassandra recently posted..In My Mailbox (#1)
Yup, I guess we all got Grave Mercy.
I started it but I’m not sure… fighting nuns aside I’m not sure I like Ismae that much. We’ll see.
Great haul and thanks for stopping by!

I wasn’t sure about Delirium, but it was good enough to make me want to read Pandemonium. Your lucky to get a signed copy. 😀

That’s quite a haul! I’m hoping to get my ARC of Pandemonium signed soon, and I have yet to read the Butterfly Clues (I know…shame on me!)

Hi April
Loved your about me with your sunglasses. Sounds like me, working out, a good book and junk food lol. Looks like you picked up some exciting books for review, I look forward to seeing what you think.
Great books this week. I hope you enjoy them all.
Thanks for visiting my IMM post this week.
Grave Mercy!!! WANT. BADLY. Well, I did grab it from NG but my newly acquired ereader and I are having words of the not-so-friendly kind. GM sounds so freaking badass.
Eeee and you got signed Lauren Oliver books?! Lucky! I need to read Liesl and Po soon, since I’ve loved everything else by her. I finished Pandemonium yesterday and LOVED IT. But ashjkdsld, does she KNOW how to end a book without killing us?! *pulls at hair*
Very eager to read Something Like Normal and The Butterfly Clues too! Enjoy your yummy books 🙂
Brodie recently posted..In My Mailbox #34

Awesome, awesome mailbox this week! 😀 I’ve seen so many glowing reviews for most of these, especially Liesl & Po and Grave Mercy. They all look incredibly fantastic. I’m also completely in love with the sound of The Butterfly Clues. It just looks so different and incredibly fantastic. Hope you enjoy these!

Great mailbox!! I love Lauren Oliver so much! So jealous you got signed books! I’m going to try to go to my local signing when she comes to my neck of the woods. Need to clear my schedule…
Oh, and Grave Mercy is awesome. Love it.
