A Feast for a Bookworm: Week #25 in 2013
Saturday, June 22, 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. :)
Something a little bit different this time:
Scythe Does Matter (The Reluctant Reaper #2) by Gina X. Grant Urban Fantasy (Edelweiss)
Apocalyptic Organ Grinder by William Todd Rose Post-Apocalyptic (NetGalley)
Three by Jay Posey Fantasy (NetGalley)
Persephone (Daughters of Zeus #1) by Kaitlin Bevis YA Paranormal, Mythology (From Author)
Big thanks to Pocket Star, Hydra, Angry Robot & Kaitlin Bevis.
• Scythe Does Matter is a sequel to The Reluctant Reaper which I have read and enjoyed. It was very wacky and weird but in a good way. Read my full review here...
• Apocalyptic Organ Grinder is published by Random House's new digital sci-fi imprint called Hydra. I was curious and since this is novella it should not be too long.
• Three is new fantasy by Angry Robot. I'm addicted to their novels, they are original and usually very good.
• I've got Persephone for review a couple of months ago and I managed to lose an ebook. ?!? Luckily, Kaitlin Bevis was so nice to send me another file, so there will be a review soon. :)
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. ;)

Hey! Thanks for stopping by :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing Three on NG -- I keep telling myself I don't need another book/series to read. I love that cover for Persephone, OMG you know how much I love mythology stories. I kind of really want this book now. *grumbles*
I hope you get The Returned soon, I'm uber-super-duper excited for it.

Come and check out my weekly book haul feature, Stocktake Saturday.
Haha I kept telling myself the same about Three but it the end I requested it. :o)
DeletePersephone does sound very good, I plan to read it later this week so there will be review soon. And mythology is one of my weaknesses too. ;)
I got The Returned approval yesterday. I'm excited to read it too!
I haven't heard of these books before, but they look fabulous judging them by their covers! I hope that you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chrissi, I hope so too. :)

Thanks for following Grace. Persephone is my favorite from this pile too. I adore mythology.
