From The Review Pile (46)

From the Review Pile is a meme hosted by Stepping Out of the Page every Thursday.

The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you've received for review (or if you don't receive review books, any book that you own and really want to read/review) but haven't yet got around to reading, in order to give the book some extra publicity.

I know that a lot of you have a huge pile of books that you want to read/review, but it understandably takes a while to get around to reading them all - here you can give a book (or two!) some of the publicity that it deserves, even if you haven't read it yet!

-----------------------------------

This week, I'm going to showcase The Hit!

I'm going to feature this book, though I know I will probably get around to reading it quite soon anyway! As soon as I heard about The Hit, I was so excited! When I was quite a bit younger, my english teacher recommended Junk by Melvin Burgess to me and I got really absorbed into it. I haven't read anything else by this author, but with the similar subject matter to Junk, I'm sure this is going to be great!
