I really enjoyed this psychological thriller - it had some complex relationships, and Lauren Oliver's writing style won me over. Review to come in March closer to its release!

| Thank you to Penguin Teen Australia, Hardie Grant Egmont and Ginger Scott for these books to review! |
- Kissing In America by Margo Rabb - I love contemporary road-trip novels so I'm looking forward to this one!
- Wild Reckless by Ginger Scott - I am a huge fan of all of Ginger Scott's books so far, and this one is what I'm hoping will be another amazing hit.
- Lifespan of Starlight by Thalia Kalkipsakis - YAY for more YA time-travel novels - It's like ever since I mentioned I wanted to see more of these, they keep popping up! This is from a debut author and the first in a trilogy, so I'm excited for it.

Enough from me - what about you? Anything interesting on your book radar?
You know you've made it in life when there's a shoe named after you! :P And what a pretty show it is :D I haven't really been in the mood for contemporary books at all these days, but I really hope you'll enjoy The Last Time We Say Goodbye! It does look really sad, I think I'm going to put it off for a bit. I love the polaroid photo, so cute! Enjoy all your new books Eugenia xx
ReplyDeleteLol that's one way of looking at it ;) I'm enjoying it so far, it's quite an easy read, but also quite sad at the same time.
DeleteGreat haul of books. Can't wait to read your review of The Last Time We Say Goodbye. That one is on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteI should have that review up soon - it won't be long until I'm finished it and it really is quite an emotional read.
DeletePleased you enjoyed Vanishing Girls, I still need to read something by Oliver.. Panic just wasn't for me in the end, *sighs* Last Time We Said Goodbye sounds real emotional and even made some of the toughest cookies cry, so good luck! :)
ReplyDeletePanic didn't really work for me either, but Vanishing Girls was fantastic! I haven't cried in that book yet, but I'm prepared with tissues.
DeleteNice haul this week, I hope you enjoy your new reads :)
ReplyDeleteHaha the shoe thing is so wonderfully random! It's not a bad shoe either!
- Wattle @ Whimsical Nature
Thanks Wattle, I'm really looking forward to getting to them :)
DeleteHAHAHA A EUGENIA SHOE. That's brilliant :D Oooh I hope you like The Last Time We Say Goodbye - that was really good :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely different! (I'm sure there's an Emily shoe somewhere too :) Glad to hear you liked The Last Time We Say Goodbye, I'm hoping I love it too.
DeleteLifespan of Starlight sounds like an amazing book. I haven't read too many time travel books, but I love them because it's a mix of two genres that I love: sci-fi and historical fiction. Ahaha, it's so cool there's a shoe with your name.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'm really looking forward to starting it - it's so good to see more time travel novels out there.
DeleteWell, for me a lot of people have suddenly picked up The Raven Cycle (WHICH IS GREAT NEWS!!!) so I've been happy feeding the hype!!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Vanishing Girls!!! I want to read a thriller, but not a horror and it looks so cool!!!
That's good Renee :) Vanishing Girls is a fabulous thriller - it really keeps you guessing!
DeleteOh I love how you found a shoe named after you, congratulations! I hope you bought it! Thanks for the brief rec for Vanishing Girls, I'll have to track it down now.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a random coincidence, though I have to say I didn't buy them (there were some other named shoes which caught my attention!)
DeleteOLIVER'S WRITING STYLE!! I have such bad luck with her stories thought but her writing always draws me back! Have a good week, my dear! x
ReplyDeleteIt just has the quality about it which makes it so enthralling. I do hope you get to read and enjoy this one Jess :)
DeleteIf I knew you in real life I feel like I would buy these shoes just to mess with you *evil laughter* Anyways, I'm really curious about Vanishing Girls, it's great that it isn't predictable! Hope you like The Last Time We Say Goodbye!
ReplyDeleteHaha now that would be interesting - you could certainly call it a 'personalised' gift! The Last Time We Say Goodbye we good but heartbreaking.
