A Feast for a Bookworm: Week #23 in 2013
Saturday, June 08, 2013
A Feast for a Bookworm is weekly post on Bookworm Dreams blog highlighting new books that I either purchased, borrowed, received for review or on a giveaway.
What is the difference between this post and Stacking The Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews? None, whatsoever. But I thought that my post deserved some original title. And this is what my husband and me came up with. :)
There was no feast/books for this bookworm last week. I don't know if I should be happy or sad... I'll go with happy. That review pile is clearing up. Yeah!
This week brought a lot of awesome surprises:
The Universe Versus Alex Woods by Gavin Extence (YA Contemporary)
Charming by Elliott James (Urban Fantasy)
Parasite by Mira Grant (Science Fiction, Horror)
Glass Frost by Liz DeJesus (Ya Fantasy, Fairy Tales)
Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau (YA Dystopia)
Big thanks to Redhook, Orbit Books, Liz DeJesus & Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
The Universe Versus Alex Woods, Charming and Parasite are all available to READ NOW on NetGalley. I'm so happy since these are some of releases I was looking forward to in 2013. Thank you Hachette Book Group!
Also Liz DeJesus contacted me with review request for sequel of First Frost. Since First Frost was very original ya fantasy that used artificats and characters from famous fairy tales to make new original story, I am so excited to read Glass Frost. There will be a review soon. :)
And for the end I acidentaly saw review copy on Edelweiss of Independent Study, sequel to The Testing (my new favorite ya dystopia). I immediately sent a request and I got approved!!! The only downside is that AGAIN ebook can't be sent to Kindle. :(
What do you think I should read first? Did you already read something from this pile? What did you get this week?
Feel free to leave links to your lists of new books in comments. ;)

Come and check out my weekly book haul feature, Stocktake Saturday.
Orbit is one of my favorite publishers, they always have interesting fantasy and paranormal titles. I can't wait to read them! And you're welcome I'm always glad to hear if I was useful. :o)
DeleteGreat haul! The testing is on my TBR list:)

DeleteThe Universe Versus Alex Woods is a great book! I hope that you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, I plan to read it next. :)
DeleteI'm glad you liked The Tesing too-I thought it was great. Glass Frost and Charming look and sound great, hadn't heard of them yet. I would read Independent Study- I NEED to know more about Cia :)

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed The Testing too. I need to know what happens to Cia next too and since Independent Study is expiring in less than 2 month, I am definitely reading it soon. :)
DeleteOMG INDEPENDENT STUDY! AND CHARMING! *flops over*
ReplyDeleteI need those two. Like NOW :D
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Well Charming is currently easy to get since it's read only on NetGalley. As for Independent Study, try on Edelweiss they will probably approve your request. :)
DeleteThanks for letting me know about Parasite! I got a copy right away :D Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy.
I never read anything by Mira Grant before but I heard great things about her and Parasite sounds so awesome... I can't wait to read it!
DeleteThis reminds me that The Universe Versus Alex Woods is one of the lost BEA books. Sigh. Oh well, it's Read Now. Maybe I should nab it. Charming and Parasite made it though. PHEW.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry they lost some of your BEA books.
DeleteBut yay for Charming and Parasite. I am looking forward to seeing you haul from Orbit Books they have some awesome fantasy. :)
Great haul! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Thanks! :)
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these but I hope you enjoy them.

DeleteOoohhh dying to read Parasite! That one sounds so good! Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI have high expectations for Parasite too! :)
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of these! I'm hoping to buy a copy of The Testing soon. :)
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
I hope so too. And since your blog is called 'Downright Dystopian' and The Testing is dystopian, I think you should definitely read it. :D
DeleteNice haul! Charming especially sounds good. :)
ReplyDeleteHere are my newest additions.
Yes Charming does sound charming. LOL :D
DeleteCool haul. Happy reading :)

Thanks Shane! :)
DeleteI love that Stacking The Shelves allows us to see what everyone else is reading. Good way to get some variety. All your books look really good - especially Independent Study. Here's our list if you'd like to see it: BiblioJunkies Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHaha yes various mixes. Sometimes I see stacks of totally unknown books and sometimes there all all my favorite authors. You never know what are you going to get. :D
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Haha that happens to me all the time. And then sometimes I forget to add it next week too (ups) :D
ReplyDeleteI love the cover for Glass Frost. I am guessing that Liz DeJesus is going to use elements from Snow White in this one. :)
I hope you enjoy The Testing as much as I did! :)
