This new feature highlights the books that I,
a crazy book addict,
have purchased, brought home, placed on one of
my bulging shelves, and put off reading
until I finished my current one...
except that I somehow never did read them!
This book meme will also highlight those books
I have already read,
and would love to re-read, because
they're absolutely wonderful!!
Here's my list for this week!

Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart...and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed.

Evernight Academy: an exclusive boarding school for the most beautiful, dangerous students of all—vampires. Bianca, born to two vampires, has always been told her destiny is to become one of them.

Although they may be separated, Bianca and Lucas will not give each other up. She will risk anything for the chance to see him again, even if it means coming face-to-face with the vampire hunters of Black Cross—or deceiving the powerful vampires of Evernight. Bianca's secrets will force her to live a life of lies.

I have had my eye on this series/author for a while but never managed to pick it up. Are you planning to review them later on? I'm curious for what your thoughts will be. Also did you hear of the authors novel Fateful? Apparently it's a YA about werewolves on the Titanic? Sounded interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteHey there, Jessie!
ReplyDeleteOh, I definitely plan to review them later on! I've been wanting to read this series for quite some time. I might start on it right after I finish "The Academy", which I received as an ARC, from the author.
As for this novel, "Fateful", no, I haven't heard of it. I'll go check it out on Goodreads. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Also, thanks for commenting!
BTW, did you read my Book Blogger Hop post from Friday? You're featured in it!! : )
That's a good haul you've got there :)
ReplyDeleteI've had to stop myself looking at EBay any more, there are way too many books that I want on there, hehe.
