Which ones should I read first? Should I wait on The Winner's Curse or should I dive right in?
What a fantastic haul! I love JLA's work. I haven't read her Covenant series yet, but I love her Lux series! I can't wait for the final book to come out this summer.
ReplyDeleteSucks that the dust jacket got torn. I hate when I get damaged books in the mail. It's so frustrating.
Anyways, Happy Reading!!!
I know!!! She is amazing!!! Yeah, but Amazon was really good about it and already sent me my new one. :) Thanks!
DeleteYES. Read The Winner's Curse now. I read it before most of the hype, and it was amazing. I do know how you feel, though, because everyone is saying they love Open Road Summer, and I'm always scared I'll be that black sheep and not love it (especially because I'm dying to read and love ORS).
ReplyDeleteGreat haul; you got some gorgeous books!
Yes, I feel the same way about Open Road Summer! I have an ARC of it, but everybody's been raving so I'm a bit nervous to start it...
DeleteThe Covenant series!!!! Can't wait for you to read that series. One of the books (I'm not saying which one) ends in such a cliffhanger, I defy anyone to not immediately pick up the next book to find out what's going on. And there is also a novella that I recommend (and I'm not a big novella fan either), but it's good. It was free on the publisher's website at one time, so check it out (but make sure you read it when you're supposed to or it will ruin everything).
ReplyDeleteHmmm…The Winner's Curse. I think the only way to dodge the hype is to read it before you hear about it, which is becoming increasingly impossible. So it probably doesn't matter at this point so if you're in the mood, definitely read it, I loved it!
Stolen Songbird…definitely e-mail me when you're reading it (or when you're done), I can't wait to hear what you think!!
Such great books you got…have fun reading! ~Pam
Oh, I will be binge reading the Covenant series I'm sure. That and the Lux series. Maybe I'll just do like two weeks straight of JLA. Lol. Which novella?
DeleteYeah, that's true. The hype will always be in the back of my mind no matter how long I wait so I should probably just dive right in.
I will definitely email you while reading Stolen Songbird. I feel like nobody has really been talking about that one. We will have to be the one's to book push it on ppl. :)
Awesome haul Rebecca :) I'm going to look up Stolen Songbird because it sounds awesome, WITCHES! And Trolls!! I'm so excited that you loved Don't Look Back because that's on my Spring TBR for sure :) And I HATE when the books edges are ruined or water damaged wehn you get them... gr.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you read and enjoy Stolen Songbird. I will let you know how it is! You will love Don't Look Back! It was so so so freaking amazing. Yes, I was pretty upset, BUT Amazon was really awesome and I already have my replacement. :)
DeleteTHE WINNER'S CURSE!!! OMG OMG OMG! Read read read! One of my favorite books of the year if not EVER! Also, I didn't read The Assasin's Blade per say because I read all the novellas BEFORE they were in amazing print form. But I still might buy it because...pretty... :)
ReplyDeleteWell that's good to hear!! I'm hoping to get to it soon. I've seriously been dying to get my hands on a copy since it first started buzzing around the blogosphere. You should definitely buy it because....like you said....pretty. :)
