  1. Did you have a little The Works splurge by any chance? I have been eying that Rachel Vincent set for a while (but I've had book 1 to read forever). I love Matt Haig's books and The Name of the Star is brilliant, so I hope you enjoy your huge and lovely pile of books. Some great choices.

  6. You have a GREAT haul! I'm so jealous of Stung, Unravelling and The Madness Underneath - they look amazing! Yay for The Selection and The Name of The Star! I really liked The Selection and LOVED TNoTS! Insurgent is good too (though not as good as the first I would say). :D

  12. AHHH Rachel Vincent! <3 I love her Werecats series SO much. I'm sure you'll love them, hun! And I'm a massive fan of the late Douglas Adams (very much missed).
    So glad you've got The Radleys as well - Matt Haig is an incredible writer. Actually, he's pretty much one of my favourite writers now!! Look out for The Humans later this month ... I can't praise that book enough!

    I also got Stung and Transcendence this week - they both look really good! :)

    Great haul, hun! Enjoy them :)
