whether you obtained them through the post or otherwise.

 Wow! I was so lucky to receive all of these brilliant-looking books this week! I am SO excited to have been sent Breathe - a dystopian by Sarah Crossan. I read her debut, The Weight of Water earlier this year and absolutely loved it. I'm hoping this will be just as good! I also received HAV3N which I'm reading for a blog tour. It's really good so far! Other YA books that I received are Heaven, Watcher, The Wild Song and a book I've been waiting ages to read - Pure. I also received four adult fiction books this week (I'm a very eclectic reader!) - Haven of Obedience, Fire After Dark, The Inn at Rose Harbor and The Au Pair! It looks like I'm going to be very busy!

 I made three swaps this week which I am really happy about! I haven't actually heard all that much about any of these books, but what I have heard/seen has been very positive. The books that I chose were Whisper, Dearly Departed and Revived.

 I recieved mail from the USA this week - a book that I won from it's author! 
A signed copy of Sleeping Tigers

Okay, once again I couldn't resist buying a book, but to be honest I have wanted this for AGES! Seriously. I am so happy that I finally bought a brand new copy. It's called Under the Ivy and it's a very big book that I'm really looking forward to picking up and devouring!
