Wow, I love the cover of The Water Witch! And One Plus One Equals Blue sounds so good! :) Amazing haul!
ReplyDeleteI know...that cover is so pretty!
DeleteAwesome stack!
ReplyDeleteIs To Win Her Heart Christian Fiction?
It is Christian Fiction...which is hit or miss for me...but I loved the cover and it was free so I figured I would give it a shot!
DeleteAll the books you got - the covers are so gorgeous and it makes me want to read them all - especially Whisper of Crows since I like it dark :-)

You've definitely got some witchy reads there! I really need to add some more witch books to my TBR list. I haven't read one of those in a while. Hasn't really happened that way on purpose. I'll probably be joining the challenge for 2013. Looks fun!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM & SP.

Great haul. I really liked The Dark Unwinding. I have the Water Witch, but I still have to read The Demon Lover too. Happy reading. Have a fantastic week.

Rae Carson has a short story out now? How did I miss this?! I so adore her Girl of Fire and Thorn series:) Congrats on winning the signed ARC of The Dark Unwinding, I'm really looking forward to that one Melissa!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very nice selection of books this week. You definitely got some stuff I hadn't heard of before.

Karen Witemeyer is my absolute favorite author! I am a big fan of Christian fiction, but in my opinion she does it very subtly and it weaves in perfectly with the story. I think the main part of all of her books is the romance. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteNice haul and a signed book how lovely. Enjoy them all, I cannot wait to read Water Witch! The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteAll the books look so good. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love signed books <3 Whisper of Crows looks interesting. You reminded me that I really need to read my copy from Audrey soon. Happy reading :D
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy.
Some Quiet Place looks FANTASTIC. I'm really looking forward to its release.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
My Weekly Wrap Up
I love seeing all of the challenges pop up and am tempted to join more than I can keep track of, so for now, I am laying low, bookmarking and deciding later. I do love books with witches in them, so I will have to bookmark that one too.
ReplyDeleteThe Water Witch has an amazing cover.
Thanks for the heads up on the book deals. I will have to pretend that I need more books and go check them out.
I got the same MG ARCs from Macmillan as you did. Don't they look good? Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYay for MG books! These sound good! The Dark Unwinding, I def need to read this one soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and the get-well wishes!!!
Great books, enjoy them :)
Nice diversity in your mailbox. Enjoy all your new reads.
ReplyDeleteA great mix in your mailbox.
