This Week's New Books

If you're wondering why I'm not having an IMM - read this post.

There are so many new "Look at my new books!" memes that I'm having troubles choosing. I know a few of the hosts personally and I don't feel like picking teams on this one. So, I introduce my own conglomeration of all the memes out there! If you're hosting a similar meme or if one of your friends hosts one, let me know and I'll add their graphic (:

Since I finally got a job (although it's just for three weeks) I decided I could reward myself, just for a little bit! Me and the boyfriend went to Amsterdam and visited the Waterstone's there. They had an amazing collection, but I decided not to go overboard and only bought two.

For review:

Big thank you to Outskirts Press and the author for this one! I have no idea what to expect, but it does sound great.

Bought:

I can't wait to read either of these! I've already started Miss Peregrine's, but I'm not sure what to think of it. It's very atmospheric, yet slightly weird and I feel a bit disconnected from the story. I'll let you all know in a review.

So I kind of caved and bought some books even though I'm still on a book buying ban. I keep telling myself it's okay though, because they're all books in series I've already read the first book of. I have to buy them, otherwise they might not sell those covers any more!

Sigh, the lengths I go in deceiving myself. The books are really awesome though, and I can't wait to dig into them (:

For review:

Another Outskirts Press book (thanks!). It looks like a mystery kind of book. Looking forward to read it during the Review Copy Cleanup!

Gifted:

I got my very first RAK!! If you want to know more about Random Acts of Kindness, go to the Book Soulmates site.

I got my RAK from Christine, a reader of my blog. Thank you thank you thank you! <3 I'm so happy you thought of me! I can't wait to start Magic Bites, it's an urban-fantasy series I've had my eyes on for so long. Look look, she even drew balloons on my card!

For review:

This is a rather large book, but it looks quite interesting! It looks like it's a mystery/thriller kind of book, but with vampires. I have no idea how this combination will turn out, but the cover is quite catchy. Thanks to Outskirts Press & the author for providing the review copy (:

Bought:

Blackout! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one since I loooooved Deadline. I already started reading it, and it promises to be just as awesome as the previous books.
Perchance to Dream & So Silver Bright. The first book in the series, Eyes Like Stars, was one of the weirdest books I've ever read. It's this kind of surreal fantasy story. These covers are absolutely gorgeous, and I'm glad to have the complete series.
A Witch in Love. Ruth Warburton's writing shows a lot of promise in her debut, A Witch in Winter, and I'm really looking forward to read the second book in the series. I also had the honour of interviewing her, if you're interested.

I had a huge birthday haul last week, so I'm keeping my book buying at a bay for a little while. I did receive one book for review though, and it looks really good!

For review:

A big thank you to Outskirts Press & the author for providing this review copy. I really like the cover, and I'm looking forward to read it. It's the third part in a series and I haven't read the first three, but since it's a thriller/mystery kind of thing that I've decided that it won't matter that much anyway. It came all the way from Jeruzalem! I never got a book from Jeruzalem.

I had an amazing week! It was my 18th birthday this week, and I celebrated with a nice BBQ. I got quite some bookish gifts, but most of them in the form of book gift cards. I will be able to buy a LOT of books! Still, a few of my family members and friends ventured to give me a book I don't own yet, and succeeded very well!

For review:

Requested this one from Netgalley (thanks Amulet!). It looks pretty interesting, kind of a young-adult mystery about a group of people bullying bullies. Or something like that. I'm looking forward to read it!

Gifted:

I got these pretty flowers from my boyfriend. Never thought I would be flower kind of girl, but I thought it was so sweet!

Couldn't find this one on Goodreads since it's a Dutch book (with an English title). It has all these pictures of weird places, hotels, items... It's a really cool book (:

From another friend I got this awesome "hang your book somewhere" thing! The bottom is a little flat metal bar that makes sure your book doesn't get damaged. A thank you to my mom for posing with it!

Books! Insurgent is actually a late-late Valentine's Day gift. I have been waiting for this book to come out for SO LONG. As you can see, I already started it. Dreamcatcher is a great addition to my Stephen King collection. And I finally got a copy of A Game of Thrones! And man, that book is scary. It's huge!

And I got some awesome non-bookish stuff too. I got lactose-free chocolate (yay!) and some Lush bathstuffs. If you've never heard of Lush, check out their website. All of their products have not been tested on animals, are vegetarian, and smell amazing. I wish it was my birthday more often!

Okay so maybe being on a ban isn't that easy. I went on a trip with my boyfriend yesterday to the city I'll be moving to in a few months and he kind of forced me into the book stores (how awful when that happens!). The Charlaine Harris is a gift from him, and the Terry Pratchett one I bought myself. They're both from series I already own, so I don't have to feel bad about starting a new series again ^^

Gifted:

I'm currently rereading this series and still loving it! I'm at book three right now, the furthest I've come was book four a few years ago. I hope I'll like the last few books, the reviews have been rather aggressive.. 

Bought:

I absolutely love the crazy Discworld books Terry Pratchett has written, and I'm collecting his books now. That should keep me occupied for a while!

Still on the book buying ban! I did get a very new and shiny non-fiction book from my mom that looks awesome. I'm still supposed to get two more books from the boyfriend, but we decided to go to the movies for our anniversary instead (: I'm forcing him to buy me Insurgent soon though!

Gifted:

I'm a total disaster with Photoshop. Like really, really bad. So I hope this book will help me make shiny pictures for my blog. My first project will be to make a new button. :D

I'm currently on a book-buying ban since I have a TBR Hill to get through. These are all of my new books of the last two weeks. I'm doing great, right? My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 1,5 year anniversary next Saturday (and I know he will buy me books :D) so next week I'll have a bit more to show you.

Review:

I heard awesome stuff about this book from its publisher on The London Book Fair, so when it was available on Netgalley for read-now I just had to request it. Haven't started it yet, but it looks really good.

I love the cover for this one. It's slightly cartoon-y but very mysterious at the same time. The blurb sounds absolutely amazing!
