I had another awesome week for books! I just finished Trash (it was so good!) and am really interested to see what Elixir is like. I wasn't a huge fan of The Hollow, but I've heard The Haunted is better, so I'm looking forward to that one. Also, the new Jimmy Eat World CD, Invented, arrived - 2 days before release date! *dances* For anyone who doesn't know, JEW have been my favourite band since the summer of 2001, and if you've never heard their amazingness, you should do so right now! It's been a 3 year wait for this one, so I'm pretty excited. :D (That's an understatement, I'm actually bouncing in my chair!)
Anyway, enough music talk. Here's what was in my mailbox this week...
For review:
- Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick (Lovely shiny finished copy!)
- Trash by Andy Mulligan
- Jiggy's Magic Balls by Michael Lawrence (This sounds so funny!)
- The Bad Tuesdays: Twisted Symmetry by Benjamin J. Myers (Aren't these new covers brilliant?!)
- The Bad Tuesdays: Strange Energy by Benjamin J. Myers
- The Bad Tuesdays: Blood Alchemy by Benjamin J. Myers
- The Haunted by Jessica Verday
- Elixir by Hilary Duff
- The Twin's Daughter by Lauren Baratz-Logsted (US ARC. Thanks to Donna at Bites for sending me one of her extra copies - sounds gothic and unusual!)
- The Drake Chronicles: Out for Blood by Alyxandra Harvey
- The Long Weekend by Savita Kalhan (Thanks Savita!)
- Angel Cake by Cathy Cassidy (This is for the 2010 Green Books Campaign).

My lovely friend Nina from Orion also sent me some packs of Marcus Sedgwick postcards. They show all of his books with their brand new covers, which I think are fantastic. If you have a favourite, let me know in the comments! My Swordhand is Singing is still my #1!
Happy reading!

OMGiddy aunt. Please tell your mailbox that it can come to Wales for a holiday as you need a break *giggles*
Really interested to hear what you think about the Bad Tuesdays - they look as if they would be great for the library.
Enjoy :D
*explodes in fits of laughter* Hilary Duff wrote a book? zomg are you kidding me!!
and YAY I just LOVE all of Marcus Sedgewicks covers, theyre all so delightful and so darn gothic it makes me want to cry!! love love LOVE
Great week for books for you! Enjoy :D
You had a fantastic week as always! I love the UK cover for The Haunted! I can't wait to hear what you think of Elixir! :)
I am in LOVE with those Marcus Sedgewick covers. *plots to steal them* seriously! I'm not even going to say anything about the very first book *cough*CRESCENDO*cough* :/
I really want Out for Blood and Elixir. You had a really great week as ever.
Gah! Crescendo and Trash. Me wanty soooo bad! :D
Great books Jenny. Hope you enjoy them and have a great week. :)
I am oddly curious about the Hilary Duff novel. I know many people seem to have received it so far but I've yet to see ONE review. Either it sucks that bad or no one has gotten around to it yet. So, Jenny, you mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read ELIXIR and then tell me if it's worth bothering about.
Why? Well, it's simple, aside from the Twilight issue (me= SUCKS! you=SQUEE!!) we have amazingly similar tastes in books and I value your opinion. ;) Opinions are always better with a British accent, you know.
Also, The Twin's Daughter looks fantastic, added to goodreads!
Pip pip, cheerio and all that!
Oh my, look at all the Marcus Sedgwick books! You sure got a great stash this week (although, lol, you always seem to get some fab books!) I am looking forward to reading your full review of Trash - as I saw signed copies of it a Foyles, but did not want to shell out the cash without hearing something about it!
The Twin's Daughter sounds fascinating - I'm really intrigued to hear what you think of it, as it's currently on my wishlist. Great selection this week!
I really liked The Hollow, so I am looking forward reading the second book in the series. That cover is wonderful. I really like it. Hapy reading to you!
I've heard a lot about Trash and it sounds very good, adding to my wishlist :)
Wow, you got some great books this week! I can't wait for Crescendo, and I'm not-so patiently waiting for my copy of Firelight to arrive. Looking forward to your reviews of those two!
Jenny, what fantastic books! I'm so excited for Crescendo now! Firelight looks interesting too. Oh, so many books! Happy reading!
Wow, great books this week. Some that I haven't heard about! I'm off to check some of them out :) Happy reading!
Wow, loads of great books this week. Hope you enjoy them all. Happy Reading!
The Bad Tuesdays looks great - really interested in picking those up.
