For review:

In the Shadow of Blackbirds | Ethan | Dare You To | Infatuate

Huge thanks to Abrams & Chronicle Books UK, P.T. Michelle, Harlequin UK (via NetGalley) and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (via NetGalley).

As I couldn't wait to delve into it, I already read and loved Ethan - you can read my review here. But I'm equally excited for these other über-awesome books and hope to get to read them as soon as possible. I was especially crossing my fingers to get approved for Infatuate, since I loved the first book and am dying to find out more about this world!

For review:

The Nightmare Affair | Things I Can't Forget | Losing It

Huge thanks to Tor Teen, Sourcebooks Fire, and William Morrow Paperbacks.

Slowly things are getting a bit more quiet for me, but in February I'll start another internship for six weeks which will keep me super busy again. Really hoping to find enough time to read and review. Luckily I only have one side job now, which at least gives me more free time during the weekend.

And YAY! for these awesome books. Can't wait to read them!

Delirium

For review:

Hooked | Wicked Kiss | Mila 2.0

Huge thanks to the lovely Michelle from MuchLovedBooks for the copy of Delirium. I really hope to read this soon, because I can't believe I haven't read it yet.
Also thanks to Harlequin Teen (via NetGalley) and HarperCollins (via Edelweiss) for the review copies.

Pretty, pretty new additions to my tbr-pile. I really cannot believe I haven't read Delirium yet, but I need to change this as soon as possible. Big thanks to Michelle again for sending me this! I'm also very happy about these awesome review copies that I can't wait to delve into. Wish my days had more hours so I could spend more time reading.

The books I got this week:

For review:

Unremembered | The Goddess Inheritance

Huge thanks to Macmillan and Harlequin Teen (via NetGalley).

I couldn't be happier about these two very awesome additions to my tbr-pile. After the cliffhanger of Goddess Interrupted I'm craving to know how the story will continue. And I've been wanting to read Unremembered ever since I first found out about it and am so curious to find out whether it's just as awesome as I want it to be.

The books I got this week:

Gifted:

Fated

For review:

Renegade | Hysteria

Huge thanks to the lovely Donna from Book Passion for Life for Fated, and to Macmillan and Bloomsbury UK.

I'm super excited for these awesome books I got this week. Fated is a birthday present from Donna and I absolutely can't wait to read it as I looooved Sarah's Lila series. But I'm also incredibly excited for Renegade and Hysteria, which both sound super amazing. Definitely have some great reading ahead of me. And since I have 4+ weeks time until my next exam I might get some reading done next week.

The books I received this week:

Bought:

Stealing Parker

For review:

All the Broken Pieces

Huge thanks to Entangled Publishing.

It was a quiet week book-wise for me, which I'm very happy about because I feel like I'm reading nothing but law textbooks at the moment. I'm very excited for All the Broken Pieces, in whose blog tour I'll be participating at the beginning of 2013. I also needed a copy of Stealing Parker as I absolutely adored Catching Jordan and will be participating in The Things I Can't Forget's blog tour next year as well.

New Distractions #15

Last week, I received a copy of The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin and it's pure torture to not ditch my current read and start reading this one immediately. Will definitely start reading this once I'm finished with Allegiance, because I just need to know what will happen after the mean ending of the first installment.

For Review:

Poison Princess | Undeadly | Splintered

The Madness Underneath | Uses for Boys | Sacrifice

Free for Kindle:

Wander Dust

Huge thanks to Simon & Schuster UK, Harlequin Teen, Abrams Books, and St. Martin's Press.

Is there anyone who'd like to stop me from requesting NetGalley titles in the future? Because I really shouldn't have requested any of these, but I just couldn't stop myself, because I'm craving to read all of these. Aaaah.... at least I already got around to reading and reviewing Poison Princess, which was absolutely awesome. Click here for my review.

The books I received this week:

Bought:

The Iron Legends

For Review:

Ember | Iridescent

Kindle Freebies:

Blood of Anteros | Become | The Fallen Star | Awakening

Huge thanks to Omnific Publishing for the review copies of Ember and Iridescent.

I've had another crazy week and while the internship's still a lot of fun, I can't wait for September to be over - especially since I'm going to spend today with my criminal law paper and can't really relax. Nonetheless I'm still trying to read as much as possible and while I'm definitely a slow reader at the moment, I'm enjoying Beneath the Glitter and am looking forward to the next couple of awesome books on my tbr-pile. As well as the new additions that I got during the last two weeks, which you can see above.

New Distractions #12

The books I received this week:

Gifted:
Clarity | Dash & Lily's Book of Dares | New Girl

For Review:
Entice | Beneath the Glitter

Huge thanks to Michelle from Much Loved Books for the awesome books and the really pretty swag! ♥ Also thanks to Hachette UK and St. Martin's Press (via NetGalley) for the review copies.

Today's the first day for me being able to sit down in front of the laptop and get some blog-stuff done. This week was craaaa-zyyy and I'm afraid that the next four weeks will be just as awful. But I'm trying to think of the money I'll earn so I can buy pretty new things (like books). :D

I'm also very excited for the books I got this week. I used to watch (and sometimes still do) Elle and Blair's videos on Youtube and am therefore very curious about the book they wrote. Of course I also can't wait to start the Violet Eden series as well as the very awesome books Michelle sent to me. Really hoping to find more time to read next week, because I've been a terribly slow reader last week.

For review:

Breathe | Souls in Peril

Huge thanks to Bloomsbury (UK) and Sherry Gammon.

Wow, I can't even tell you how excited I am for both of these books. I requested Breathe from the publisher and since I never heard back from them, it was a huge surprise to find it in my mailbox last week. And considering how much I loved Sherry's Unlovable, I can't wait to read her new novel Souls in Peril, which also sounds absolutely amazing!

Bought:

Onyx

For review:

Ironskin | The Shadow Society | Crewel

Huge thanks to Tor/Forge, Macmillan, and Faber and Faber.

I freaked out a little bit when I realized that I was sent my pre-ordered Kindle copy of Onyx last week and immediately decided to ignore my reading schedule to squeeze it in. And I really liked it even though I liked it a bit less than Obsidian, but I cannot wait for book three! And well, the other three NetGalley books I got this week all seem über-awesome and I can't wait to get to them as well. Really tried to stop myself from requesting too much and already feel bad for these three... (but all three have been past WoW picks, which is why I think it's kind of okay for me to have requested them.)
