Inspired by The Story Siren's In My Mailbox, Owl Post allows me to excitedly share all the yummy books I get in the mail
each week! Owl's are much faster and more reliable than sneaky
postmen, and the common way for magical folk to send and receive
letters and parcels. Yes. I went to Hogwarts.
Ebooks:
I have been wanting to read this book for so long! Every review I've seen appear in my Google reader has been gushing, so when I saw that my library was getting it in, I wasted no time in snatching it up.
SPARK SPARK SPARK SPARK!!! There is strong evidence to suggest I've had multiple make-out sessions with the Gabriel of down-under (because doesn't he look so much hotter on the AUS cover? if I took better photo's, you'd totally see that), but until that video footage leaks, I admit to nothing. By the way, did you guys know I love this series?
This was a nice surprise! I didn't even know Australia was publishing this soon, nor had I seen the awesome cover art. This sounds dark, twisted and compelling!
Both this and Venom have different Australian cover art, which you can see a very small version of if you venture to NetGalley. The Darkest Minds is one I've been anticipating for awhile, so I hope to curl up with it soon!
Italy! Historical! Killers! Secret societies! Forbidden romance! Mysterious artist! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Ever since I read Sam's review of this, I've been dying to read it. It sounds effing AMAZING and creepy and VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE IN AN AMISH COMMUNITY. Seriously. If it's not on your book radar already, PUT IT ON THERE. I am so excited to read it!
Excellent early reviews, an intriguing protagonist with a unique-compared-to-other-YA-books condition and a murder mystery. Reason enough to be excited? I think so.
What did those fluffy owls deliver to you this week?
Eeeeep!! The False Prince!! I've been meaning to get it..I saw copies at the bookstore but..but..I had to restrain myself. :( TBR is threatening to leave me if I pick up one more book.. *cries* You can imagine the scenario, yes? Also: Spark!! Me needs to borrow Storm from Kai first before I read this. All of the ebooks sound so darn good! :) Hope you like them all. Also - just noticed that you're now reading The False Prince. Hope you liked The Lost Prince!
ReplyDeleteA&U didn’t send me Spark :( I feel so left out. More sad faces coming... :( :( :( :( :( :(
ReplyDeleteI do believe The False Prince is going to be published down here in the coming months. I’ve been meaning to get around to that one. You beat me at everything :( More sad faces... :( :( (Not as many as above.)
I too got The Darkest Minds from netgalley... WHICH I FORGOT TO PUT IN THIS WEEK’S POST. Urghh! I always forget netgalley books. Same with Falling Kingdoms... Ack!
The Hallowed Ones sounds really good! I've requested it from Netgalley, but haven't heard anything back yet. :( I must go check out Blind Spot!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous haul! I want all of these and I want them now LOL Enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteI've been unsure about Blind Spot recently, but I might wait to read some more reviews before requesting it. I can't wait to hear what you think of The Hallowed Ones, Venom and The Darkest Minds! The Aussie cover for TDM is SO gorgeous! :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I love your cover of Spark so much more than the one we have. I still haven't read this yet and must fix this right away!
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing epic things about The Hallowed Ones. I hear it's super creepy and really good.
I love the cover of Venom! I have it sitting on my TBR shelf in my closet and hopefully will get to it soon.
Sounds like those owls were super busy this week, but they brought you some amazing reads. I can't wait to read your reviews!
The Aussie covers for Storm and Spark are SO much better than the US ones. I guess it goes with my theory of Australians being hotter in general. OH MY GOSH, I LURVE the Elemental series! The Merrick brothers are the bestest.
ReplyDeleteYay for Gabriel in that AUS cover! He is HOT in there! lol. Sam's review of The Hallowed Ones had me convinced to read it too. Hope you enjoy all these books, Brodie. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteBRODIE I AM SO JEALOUS! I requested The Darkest Minds and I couldn't read it because I live in the US! :( I need to move to Australia ASAP, don't I? ;) I hope you enjoy it though and I can't wait to see what you think of The Hallowed Ones, Venom, Blind Spot, and SPARK! I liked Storm better, but I think I was the strange exception, so enjoy your wonderful haul, dearie!<3
ReplyDeletewe did not know you fan of the elemental series, brodie . lol
ReplyDeleteenjoyyyyy
Venom has such a beautiful cover. Blind Spot has that cover makes you take notice of it. Some really interesting books this week for you as well.
ReplyDeleteGrace
SPARK! I completely zeroed in on that book, and then I read your commentary and well... I just about died! HA. I hope you enjoy all your books! I can't wait to read your reviews. :D
ReplyDeleteAHHH I WANT THE DARKEST MINDS SO BADLY. Can I haz? Just kidding. :) I got The Blind Spot this week too! It looks really quite interesting. I loved Sam's review too! Brigid's books looks great, I really need to start them. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteNice! Love the sound of The False Prince! And really, don't be shy, let us know what you think about Spark? ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
AWESOME OWL POST, BRODIE! I've been wanting to read The False Prince for AGES . . . so I must get to it very, very soon. I too got Spark in the mail which was pretty awesome (of course). And I also got Darkest Minds from netgalley which I'm going to read up next! Can't wait! :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see another library user. I haven't heard of that book. Lovely haul of books to read. I don't think I have heard of Vicious Little Darlings either. Lovely cover:D
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!

Wow, wonderful haul of books you got there, Brodie! Your fluffy little owls have done a fine job. Venom, The Darkest Minds, and Blind Spot all look exceptionally good! I can't wait for them all. :) I'm also currently reading The Hallowed Ones, and it is a perfec blend of suspense, Amish culture, creeeeeepiness and gory bits. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Brodie! :)
When I was reading Storm, I begrudgingly liked Gabriel. Of course my favorite was Nick and then Michael... and then Gabriel! But I feel like Spark would change my mind =))
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, Brodie! Happy reading!
Followed~
The Hallowed ones sounds so awesome! I can't wait to get a copy!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Haul! Letterbox Love!
What fantastic books you have here, Brodie! The Darkest Minds has been on my wishlist since forever. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I am so excited for you! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome haul, Brodie! So many intriguing books there! Spaaaark! Eee! A little bit awesome, methinks!
ReplyDeleteI ADORED The False Prince. Sage is such an awesome character - hope you enjoy it :). Love the sound of Venom (I'm a sucker for forbidden love) and The Darkest Minds sounds pretty great too, I've been wondering about it for a while, so excited to hear you thoughts! Happy reading :).
ReplyDeleteAGDHGADS. BRODIE. SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS.
ReplyDeleteSPAAAARK! I so can't wait to get my hands on my copy... you know... to keep my copy of Storm company.

ReplyDeleteThe false prince and The hallowed ones! The last one is SO unique, I can't wait to get it into my hands :D Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSpark? What's that? I don't think I've heard it mentioned on this blog before.... Seriously though, my copy is ON ITS WAY and I am THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS (x432947983) excited to read it!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, The False Prince! :D I can't believe I haven't read that one yet... Hope you're loving it! <3 And YES! Sam's review got me so pumped for The Hallowed Ones... I would want to read it for the uniqueness alone!
