The immortal rules has been receiving alot of attention lately, I need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteShae @ Understanding Shae's Story
I'm so worn out from hyperventilating over other people's copies of Immortal Rules, that I think I'll pass out if I do it again here. But the shock and pleasure and envy doesn't seem to fade away though. Gosh, I wish. Please enjoy it for the both of us!
ReplyDeleteHallowed is so deeply, perfectly emotional and lovely, and I have yet to read The Summer I Turned Pretty, though I have it on my shelf, but I've heard great things about the series :)
Have an amazing reading week!

ReplyDeleteYou have some great books to read. I can't wait to hear how The Immortal Rules turns out! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul this week indeed! Immortal Rules! So jealous! ;-) I'm also really excited about Out of Sight, Out of Time.

ReplyDeleteI'm reading Hallowed soon! Unearthly was good! Immortal Rules? I'm so envious of you!! Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteHere's my IMM
YAY for The Immortal Rules!!!!! Jealous!!!!! You had a fantastic book week, they all look great. I've been wanting to read The Summer I Turned Pretty for forever it seems! Enjoy :).
ReplyDelete~ Jen @ A Book and a Latte - My IMM post!
Lots of interesting books this week. I haven't heard of many of them. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy them all!
Eek, I'd LOVE to read The Immortal Rules! You have an amazing haul this week :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
I'm really jonesing for the next Gallagher girls book. I'm such a glutton for punishment too because lord knows I have so much to read! I do need more music (not really, but as a singer this is never a bad thing). I want Jessie J to come out with a new CD and I need the Goo Goo entire anthology along with Kate Voegele's newest venture. Not asking for much right?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great selection! I've heard lots of good things about The Summer I Turned Pretty, hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteGreat Haul, I haven't heard of most of those books.
ReplyDeleteSO jealous about The Immortal Rules! It seems so amazing :) Lots of great books this week ;) I hope you enjoy them all :)

You got THE IMMMORTAL RULES!!!! You lucky duck, I'm feeling a bit of book envy right now! Can't. Wait. For. Your. Review!!! ;D
ReplyDeleteActually they all look awesome Alison - have a great week hun!
Great stuff! Have fun! Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I want to get my hands on Immortals and Hallowed because I loved Unearthly very much!
ReplyDeleteWhen I see someone has The Immortal Rules I squeal lol. I've been waiting a long time for this one to come out. Only a few more weeks left until it's in stores! Thanks for visiting my IMM.
ReplyDeleteThe Immortal Rules! I really enjoyed Kagawa's Iron Fey series and I'm really excited about starting that one -- you got so lucky this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by The Real Book Critique! :)

ReplyDeleteHi! I love that you're posting music here, too! 'Wonderstruck' looks amazing - I just recently saw the film 'Hugo,' so I've been wanting to read some Brian Selznick novels. And thank you for the follow! You have a great blog (and you post manga!!!), so I'm definitely following back via GFC!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous about The Immortal Rules. I loved her Iron Fey series, and the synopsis for TIR looks really good. Post-apocalypse and vampires...what's not to like. And I just finished Hallowed, which I loved. Although I must say it took a bit for me to get into it. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteDanielle @ Novelly Antithetical
YAY, great haul this week. Brian Selznick = <3 Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an impressive haul! : )
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!!
I hadn't heard of The Summer of No Regrets but I've added it to my list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Great week of books, Alison! I haven't heard much yet about The Summer of No Regrets, so I'll be interested to see what you think of it. And your post has reminded me that I still need to read Hallowed!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize The Immortals was coming so soon.
ReplyDeleteI saw The Cults on concert (they were the opening band) they were really good and had a cool, creepy silent movie playing in the background. lol
I got Immortal Rules and devoured it!! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteWell you definitely have some books that are on my list as well! I spotted the Jennifer Han books last week and need to read those and I'm behind on the spy books by Ally Carter, I definitely need to catch up on those! Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Immortal Rules!! And I wish you so much fun with Hallowed and The Summer I Turned Pretty, both very good!
ReplyDeleteNice books! I loved the Immortal Rules! Can't wait to read your review!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that Hallowed is good, I loved the first book. The Immortal Rules will be showing up on my IMM this week, I got it yesterday. Super Excited. Thanks for stopping by and visiting my IMM.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul. That reminds me that I have an ARC of Wonderstruck that I still haven't gotten around to reading.
