FOR REVIEW


Sorry for the dark picture... ;) 


Kill All Enemies by Melvin Burgess (UK Proof)
I was a little bit worried about what I would think of this as it's not the kind of book I would normally read, and it was for a blog tour... But I'm half way through and it's AMAZING :D So good! Thanks to Penguin for this one!


Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan (UK Proof) *SQUEE*
I am SO EXCITED to have this one, it sounds AMAZING :D Thanks to MacMillan for this one!


VIII by H.M. Castor (UK Proof)
This is also for a blog tour coming up in October, and I'm really excited for it! It's a fictional account of Henry VIII's life and it sounds really good, and it's had some amazing review, so I'm excited to read this! Thanks to Templar Publishing for this one!


Abandon


Abandon by Meg Cabot (UK Proof) *Squee*
Again, another really exciting book! :D And the UK paperback cover is GORGEOUS. I mean, the US hardback is nice, but this one is even better :D I've even included a picture so you can see the amazingness of it :) In my opinion, anyway... ;) Thanks to MacMillan for this one!


Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts (UK Paperback)
I'd never heard of this one before I opened the parcel, but it sounds really good so I'm excited to give this one a try! Thanks to MacMillan again for this one!


WON







Haunting Violet by Alyxandra Harvey and some goodies! (Won from Liz at My Favourite Books)
I'm so excited to read this one too, and I know I've said that about almost every book I got this week... ;P Anyway, it looks really good and the goodies are awesome! I got 4 HV badges and a tote bag :D Thanks Liz! :D

    I received Dark Inside a few weeks ago. It sounds interesting. Hoping to get to it sometime before it's released. The covers are different, but I guess that's normal.
