Thank you for mentioning my call out for guest posters! Twenty-five books in one month is just amazing, I think I'd faint if I were to meet that number. Have a great week!
Great haul this week! SO excited for Parasite!!! Looking forward to your review of Sea of Tranquility this week. :-)
thanks Jan and I am glad you were still able to post it!
You are welcome as always Jorie!
thanks Candace!
Thanks for mentioning the Once Upon a Read-a-Thon!
You read 25 books in May?! Geez, I wish I had read that many. I'm not sure how many I have read but it's probably not even 20.
Awesome book haul this week too!
You did a lot of great reading for May! Also great to get so many ARCs read. I'm finally getting my Sunday Post posted today (Monday). Still great to catch up with what other bloggers did last week and what I managed to do! I hope you have a good week and thanks as always for hosting the Sunday Post.
Sunday Post
Thanks again and happy reading! The Monday Post | Jorie’s Reads by StarryNightElf
Yeah it always worries me when a book gets a ton of hype. I try to ignore it but its hard to get that out of your mind! You know how it is! So good to be back on my computer!
thanks Dani, enjoy your week too!
I loved Newflesh so I am uber excited! Bone Season is getting a lot of hype and I hope it delivers!
I love the sound of Parasite - i mean and that cover - it is so awesome - you look like you can totally punch those pills out hehe. Bone Season sounds so good too!
I'll have to peep the Zombie Craze and readaton for next month!
Looks like you rocked the haul this week! :) I don't recognize a lot of your books so I will have to do some looking up this week. Looking forward to your reviews!
Have a great week and Happy Reading!
you are welcome and I am looking forward to the read-a-thon too!
Thank you for the book info! The Once Upon a Time Read-a-thon sounds perfect for me! :)
Oh my goodness the Newsflesh trilogy rocked my face off!
Great books as always! I have Feed on my shelf! I really need to fit it in between review books! Have a great week!
thanks Libby, it was a good week, I will be having giveaways to share the love.
thanks, yeah so glad about the Bone Season, Registry review goes up on Friday :)
thanks Aurian, have a lovely week!
I am looking forward to reading it, thanks! As for the 25 books..3 hrs a day min, 7 days a week and it just happens..LOL
I love the All Souls Trilogy, it has so many elements and genres that I love rolled into one,
you are so naughty, but I would grab that for the title alone! Thanks Jen!
thanks Ali I am still grinning!
thanks Jenea, I bet you read more than you think!
Thanks Margaret and I am delighted you joined in the fun!
Oh no problem at all, I think its a excellent idea.
Ha, I try to read a min of 3 hrs a day and it just happens. Some books take me two days and some I devour in one sitting..LOL
Me too, between you and Lisa I had to have it.
yeah me too and I am so excited Bea sent it to me!
ooh you saw Miller and Jeffries..i am so jelly!
Did you read her Newsflesh Trilogy? It is one of my favorites I love Grant and McGuire! It good to know the world-building is complex in Bone Season..but i love that stuff, I am really hoping its good and the break from YA will be good!
ooh they were both fantastic books!
Of course I will host more monthly challenges. I did TBR and ARC, so up next will be another TBR.
What the Bride Wore looks good! You won some great items! I am a bit jealous! LOL. Have a great week!
thanks Yvonne, it was fun :)
it should be fun!!
Yeah..sweet! I hope it is a good as it sounds!!
yeah, someone had Bone Season last week and when I read the synopsis I had to have it..LOL
thanks Sally I am excited for both of those!
I am still grinning about Parasite. Are you reading her serial under her real name Seanan McGuire? It's at Amazon etc. It just came out so I've only read the first installment and so far its wicked good. It's called Indexing.
Great haul! And you got The Bone Season! xD Looking forward to your review of The Registry, it's on my tbr pile. Enjoy your week!
thanks Brandi, the synopsis has me intrigued!
ooh me too Celine and so far its good. Are you reading Indexing? It's her serial under her real name Seanan McGuire. It just came out a week ago, and for 2.99 you get the entire series in installments. So far it is really good.
thanks sweetie and busy is good right?
thanks Tabitha, I am excited about them. Have a delightful week!
After Newsflesh I was so sad, but I am loving Parasite so far and are you reading her serial (under Seanan McGuire) called Indexing? eep, for 2.99 you get the whole series and each week or so a new installment, so far its so good!
Thanks Neysa I am excited to read them both!
ooh thanks Blodeudd!
I am still grinning like the Cheshire cat!
Lovely haul of books! Enjoy them :)
Well, my plan is to read it and write the review than make my husband listen while I talk about it and compare it to her last trilogy *a personal favorite* The Newsflesh trilogy*
ya know when they sent their promo letter it says book one in an exciting new series, but on goodreads it says book three, I am going to read it anyway but grr that makes me mad!
I so that on another blog last week and of course had to go request it on the spot..eep, It is getting a lot of hype and I sure hope it delivers! The Sunday Post
Yeah, the line-up this week is a good one :) Have a great week!
I am looking forward to reading it and next time you need to sign up! Have a great week!
Glad you had such a good time and I am really looking forward to reading both books:)
*Passes out* 25 books!! Amazing! I'm so glad you picked up Sweet Thing!!! I hope you love it as much as I did. I just read Andrea's review from The Bookish Babe and she hit my every thought and how much I loved it! Enjoy your week! :D
Once again I am in awe of how many books you manage to read in a month. Maybe I'll have to check-out your Shadow of Night giveaway. I read the first book but it was just ok. However, I am a firm believer in giving series' a second chance so... Oh and that's a cool dragon necklace BTW, congrats!
For a second, I thought the cover for What the Bride Wore actually said "Bride Whore".... hehehe.
Anyway, the cover for The Farm looks so ominous....I've been hearing good things, I'm interested. Can't wait to read what you think!
Also, I love getting jewelry with books! That necklace is so cute!
I am so excited you got Parasite, it looks so good! I can't wait to see what you thought about it!
Congrats on all the great books this week. :)
I don't even know how many books I read this month. Maybe I should look. :) Enjoy your new books. I am really looking forward the release of Parasite. It sounds so interesting. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
Wow! You are a reading dynamo! I thought I read a lot:)
Great haul! I really like the cover art for Parasite. That alone makes me want it ad!
The Farm intrigues me. I'm interested to see what you think.
Great book haul! Burning looks really good. I hope you enjoy Sweet Thing as much as I did!
Great haul! I saw Sabrina Jeffries and Linda Lael Miller at Book Expo this week. Tried to get a copy of The Bone Season while I was there, but with so much going on, I couldn't fit it into my schedule...so many books, so little time!
The Bone Season was a little challenging at first (AND my copy had two maps and a diagram), but I thought it was pretty interesting overall. I can't wait to see what you think of it! I'm also really curious about Mira Grant's new book. There seems to be a lot of hype surrounding that one. :)
Looks like you had a great week. 24 ARCs read this month...wow...that's great! Way to go! I can't wait to see your review of The Sea of Tranquility. I loved it. Also, I just finished The 5th Wave this week. Loved that one too!
Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
25 ? wow! I'm not sure how many I read but I'm sure it's not close to 25! Are you going to be hosting anymore monthly challenges? Hope you have an awesome week! :)
I'm amazed at how many books you read in a month. That's great. Have a great week!
Oh the Apocalyptic hop! I look forward to it. :) Have a great week!
I got the Bone Season too -- excited about that one!
Jen @ YA Romantics
Ooh Parasite has an awesome cover! Sounds really good too. :-) The Bone Season also looks intriguing. Hope you enjoy them all, and have a lovely week! :-D
Some great looking books this week- I really like the look of The Farm and Clockwork Heart. Enjoy!
I am very very jealous about Parasite, Kimba!!! The Bone Season is also on my wishlist! Really great picks, and I hope you enjoy them all!
Burning looks goo, hope you enjoy.
EEEEEK, Parasite! I can't wait to read that book, I LOVED Mira Grant's zombie books. She is an amazing writer and I can only expect her new series to be just as awesome.
Looks like you have been busy.... as usual!! You have picked up some sweet books and swag. Nice necklace!! Have fun reading chick!!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
Ohhh! The Farm and Burning! Both are books I've been looking forward to reading, so I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them!
My STS
You've been a busy bunny :-D
Burning looks great, and I'm curious about the new Mira Grant.
Enjoy :-D
Nice haul you've got this week!
The cover of parasite was really interesting. And I've been wanting to read Burning! Hope you'll enjoy it!
Check out my STS too :D
Sincerely,
Neysa Kristanti @ [B.O.O.K.L.I.F.E]
Such good books, want want
You got Parasite! I'm so jealous. Enjoy!
I love the cover of Parasite. I hate when you read something too far in advance and can't post the review right away. Very frustrating. Great haul!
I grabbed What the Bride Wore this week too :) And that dragon necklace is pretty cool, great books this week. Alright, I need to go check out your review of Dare You To, I missed a lot this week...
I've been seeing The Bone Season a lot this week. You have some great looking reviews coming up this week and I'm still impressed at your 25 books. I hope you have a great week and enjoy Parasite (that just sounds odd lol).
So much awesome coming up on your blog! I can't wait! Great haul too.
Awesome book haul as always! I can't wait to see what you think of Clockwork Heart. You got so many books read for your Clean Sweep Challenge, I wish I had signed up! Have a great week :)
I liked the sound of it's synopsis.
Wow not bad. And look at all those ARCs you got through! That's fantastic! Jade Lee's looks really good!
Christie add your blog or twitter to Discus profile. If I am not mistaken you leave me lovely comments all the time and I cannot reciprocate unless you leave link or have profile links and your blog is so cool.
Thanks it looks interesting..we shall see
LoL yes * grins*
I've been wanting to read Burning for a while, but I've been reading mixed reviews lately. I'm excited to read your review on it in the future. :)
My Stacking the Shelves + The Sunday Post
Ohhhhh! THAT Parasite. I wasn't sure which book you were talking about on FB. Exxxxciting! :)
Cyn the bad boys hop should be fun! ooh and I am loving the Duke!
Ha girlie you crack me up!
that's a lot happiness this week overall!!! you need to replace all those books you read ;) and why am I not using capital letters, I have no idea?!?!?
have a great week, chica!!!
Great haul! I love the covers of the Chronicle of Light and Shadow series. What the Bride Wore looks cute. I can't wait for the Bad Boys of Romance giveaway haha. I need to check out What the Duke Desires, hope you liked it, excited to see your review (:
Haha me too!
I love the series too and am sad only two more books are scheduled :( Have a great week too!
ooh another Mira fan are you reading the serial Indexing? Maybe you are the one who turned me on to it..LOL It's written under her real name.
I know I am so excited!
ooh and so it should! Here is the synopsis: Life was different in the Before: before vampires began devouring humans in a swarm across America; before the surviving young people were rounded up and quarantined. These days, we know what those quarantines are—holding pens where human blood is turned into more food for the undead monsters, known as Ticks. Surrounded by electrical fences, most kids try to survive the Farms by turning on each other…
And when trust is a thing of the past, escape is nearly impossible.
Lily and her twin sister Mel have a plan. Though Mel can barely communicate, her autism helps her notice things no one else notices—like the portion of electrical fence that gets turned off every night. Getting across won’t be easy, but as Lily gathers what they need to escape, a familiar face appears out of nowhere, offering to help…
Carter was a schoolmate of Lily’s in the Before. Managing to evade capture until now, he has valuable knowledge of the outside world. But like everyone on the Farm, Carter has his own agenda, and he knows that behind the Ticks is an even more dangerous threat to the human race...
I have Big Sky Summer this week too. I've really enjoyed the series and can't wait to see what you think of it. Have a terrific week!
Marlene @ Reading Reality
For some reason The Farm's title and book cover freak me out. I don't even know what it's about
Parasite, lucky you! And Burning too:-) Great haul, enjoy.
Parasite!! Happy reading :D
