BOUGHT






Journey's End by RC Sherriff (UK Hardback)
Yay... I actually bought a book this week, but for once I'm not excited about it! ;) This is for my English GCSE, but it's a book I got this week so I thought I'd share it because I only got one other, which is good for my TBR pile :D 


SWAPPED






Trial by Fire by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (US Hardback)
I swapped this using UK Swap Shop on Goodreads, and it's SO pretty and shiny! :D Can't wait to read it, I loved the first one (though I need a reminder what happened...) so this should be great :) 


That's what I got this week, what did you get? Leave a link in the comments!

    I wasn't a huge fan of Raised by Wolves, but I can't wait to see what you think of Trials by Fire. I'm trying to decide whether I want to read it or not! :D
