I don't even know where to start - sooo many awesome books. I think the next one I'll read will be Shatter Me since I'm dying to find out whether it's as good as everyone's saying. I'm also in love with the cover of Illuminate and I'm hoping the story will be equally beautiful. Actually I'm excited for all of these. Have you read any of them? What would you recommend to read soon?

What did you get in your mailbox?

After Obsession by Carrie Jones & Steven E. Wedel
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Expected Publication: September 5th, 2011

Goodreads Summary:

Aimee and Alan have secrets. Both teens have unusual pasts, and abilities they prefer to keep hidden. But when they meet each other for the first time, in a cold Maine town, they can’t stop their secrets from spilling out. Strange things have been happening lately, and they both feel strongly that something, or someone, is haunting them. They’re wrong. Despite their unusual history and powers, it’s neither Aimee nor Alan who is truly haunted. It’s Alan’s cousin Courtney who, in a desperate plea to find her missing father, has invited a demon into her life—and into her body. Only together can Aimee and Alan exorcise the ghost. And they have to move quickly, before it devours not just Courtney, but everything around her…. Filled with heart-pounding romance, paranormal activity, and rich teen characters to love—and introducing an exciting new YA voice in Steven Wedel—this novel is exactly what Carrie Jones fans have been waiting for. Meet your next obsession.

I have yet to read a novel by Carrie Jones, but the summary of this one really intrigues me. Sounds very mysterious and dark and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this!

What are you waiting for this Wednesday?
