I had another great week getting books. I promised myself I'll get less of them and I really will try, but ... starting next week!
I got an ARC of Keeper of the Black Stones by P.T. McHugh a while ago but I totally forgot about it and I feel really bad. I will do a review on it in March so stay tuned. I also received an English copy of Ondt Vand (Evil Water) by Inger Wolf, a crime novel that's very intriguing and I look forward to reading. Thanks to Glass House Press and Black cat Edition for the copies!
I got Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion, mainly because I really want to see the movie but I have to read the book first. I also got Among the Nameless Stars by Diana Peterfreund, a prequel to For Darkness Shows the Stars, a book I'm very much looking forward to getting.
I wanted to read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne for a very long time now, especially because I really want to see the movie as well. I was going through my wishlist and spotted it, I totally forgot about this one. I hope I get to read it soon. Another one that has a movie but I want to read first is P.s. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern that I got as well.
And I finally got the Graceling Realm series by Kristin Cashore! I am so excited to have these books, I can't wait to start them!
I didn't enjoy Graceling that much but I heard some said that the subsequent books are better. Might give them a try someday. Awesome haul! Hope you'll enjoy your new books.

That is amazing! I still haven't read Bitterblue but the whole series is fab. I also watched P.S.I Love You and was like a watering pot through the whole film. Such a tearjerker. Enjoy all your wonderful books, Ula!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try Graceling and Warm Bodies! have fun with them all!
ReplyDeleteOooh I loved Graceling and Fire and have Bitterblue sat on my shelf at university waiting to be read. Warm Bodies is great as well and I can't read The Boy in Striped Pyjamas without crying everytime!
ReplyDeleteMy Haul
Hope you enjoy Warm Bodies. It was a great book to read.
ReplyDeleteI've put The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas after reading your post and even though I didn't get the Diana Peterfreund book that you've posted, I've put Morning Glory which she wrote based on the film of the same title.
Enjoy your reads.
The Graceling realm looks really good. I also need to read those books. Happy reading :D
