So that's why I'm super happy with the two R.A.K.s I got this week!
The Magicians was a complete surprise! It just turned up one day in a nice Amazon box as a R.A.K. from Sarah at Life In A Break Down. I'd had a crap week, so it was awesome to come home to such a great gift. Thanks again Sarah!
I already knew that Vilija was going to send me Thirteen Reasons Why, but that doesn't make it any less great! It's the Lithuanian cover too - much nicer than the UK version.
I've wanted to read Uglies for a good few years now, but for some reason I've started trying to get hold of it again. You know, without doing anything as obscene as actually buying it. I managed to swap a book for it on Read it Swap it - one I'd been trying to get rid of for ages now, so I'm pleased!
It seems to have been a very YA-centered week, doesn't it? You know you're broken when receiving three books in one week doesn't seem like a lot...
I know what you mean, sadly. I was just happy that until today when I broke (I'd planned to put that tenner in the bank for other things, silly me) I spent 2 weeks not buying myself anything!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind reading The Magicians myself, keep hearing great things about it, and Scott Westerfield is a fantastic writer. I haven't picked up Uglies yet, but yeah.
Woah, that's a cool cover of Uglies!! I loved that book :) I hope you enjoy everything you got!
ReplyDeleteHere's my IMM!
I just recently read The Magician and Thirteen Reasons Why myself. I look forward to hearing what you think of them. I haven't read Uglies yet, but it is on my shelf because I picked up a copy of it from Books A Million on their dollar shelf!!! Needless to say, I was quite thrilled with that find.
ReplyDeleteI have slowed down with buying books for myself too, my shelves are overflowing. But sometimes you find a deal you just can't pass up!
some great titles 13 reasons why? i feel was so thought provoking and a little sad. thanks for sharing your IMM

I've seen The Magicians around a lot lately. And the sequel. I've read good things about both. I loved 13 Reasons Why!! So great! I have Uglies too, got it from Paperback Swap, but my cover isn't as cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my IMM!

Uglies is one of my favorite YA dystopian novels, and I do hope you enjoy it too. I have loved Thirteen reasons why, it's a book perfect for discussions. And I hadn't seen this cover for The Magicians, bur I like it!
