No snowstorms this week! We received some GREAT books and we're excited to begin reading them. If only we had more hours in each day to read everything we have. 

This week we received for review (all are ARCs):

WHITE CAT by Holly Black
DECEPTION: A HAUNTING NOVEL by Lee Nichols
MISTWOOD by Leah Cypess
RULES OF ATTRACTION (A PERFECT CHEMISTRY novel) by Simone Elkeles
ANGELOLOGY by Danielle Trussoni (Adult fiction)

We received through swapping:

THE LAST THING I REMEMBER (The Homelanders Book One) by Andrew Klavan
DREAM GIRL by Lauren Mechling
THE GOOD NEIGHBORS, BOOK TWO: KITH graphic novel by Holly Black and Ted Naifeh

And we purchased:

HEX HALL by Rachel Hawkins
THE POISON EATERS by Holly Black

We should rename this week Holly Black week: one ARC, her latest short story collection (already started reading "Coldtown") and a graphic novel. How cool is that? I already devoured Simone Elkeles' RULES OF ATTRACTION (from Traveling Arc Tours) since it needs to be mailed out.  LOVED IT! That's all I will say for now. My review will be posted soon. Okay, time to get some reading in and enjoy the warm weather. What did you get this week?

    Oh wow, so many great books. And I'm insanely jealous that you guys get to read Rules Of Attraction so early. I'm so eager for that book.

    It looks like so many people received White Cat this week. The more I see it the more I want it haha.

    Happy reading to the three of you! :D

    Some weeks are really good! And it was exciting to have an author of one of the titles comment. Looking forward to reading "Deception" too!

The Devouring #2: Soulstice by Simon Holt

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break d...
