The only way I can describe this past week is: AMAZING. I went to London for 3 days, to interview authors, attend a trade dinner, go to Sarah Rees Brennan's launch event, and visit some publishers. I still can't believe the week I had, and the books I came back with. I'll be posting a London report on Monday, if any of you guys are interested in what I got up to! :)
Here are the books I got this week:
Bought:
- The Deathday Letter by Shaun David Hutchinson
- So Many Boys: A Naughty List Novel by Suzanne Young
- The Spook's Secret by Joseph Delaney (Bought in London after I met Joseph and he signed a copy for me).
For review:
- Dear Dylan by Siobhan Curham (Thanks Siobhan!)
- Black Lung Captain by Chris Wooding (UK proof/ARC. Not YA, but looks SO good!)
- White Cat by Holly Black (Finished copy - very nice!)
- The Alchemist and the Angel by Joanne Owen (I got a really nice hardcover edition, with some beautiful illustrations. Thanks, N!)
