For review:

Harder by Robin York - This is a bound manuscript, as the physical copies are going to arrive at the publisher late. I'll be reading this for the blog tour, and I'm so excited! I loved Deeper, so really excited to see where the story goes with Harder!

Shadow of the Wolf by Tim Hall - This sounds so good! I'm really intrigued! So excited to read it! And another beautiful cover from Richard Collingridge!

NetGalley:

Unintentional Virgin by A. J. Bennett - An NA novel about a teenager who wants to lose her virginity. Will be reading for Sex in Teen Lit Month. (Not pictured.)

Gifted:

Alex As Well by Alyssa Brugman - Thanks to the wonderful people at Curious Fox, I was sent a signed, personalised copy, with Alyssa thanking me for my review of Alex As Well! So awesome! Such a lovely surprise, I was thrilled!

Thank you to Little, Brown, David Fickling Books, Curious Fox, and Indie Inked via NetGalley for the review copy.

Inspired by Faye of A Daydreamer's Thoughts's Weekly Recap, here is a recap of my posts over the last week, and anything else I found interesting.




This week I've read X books for Mental Health Awareness Month. I am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells is awesome, a supernatural thriller with a sociopath for a main character. This novel actually does justice to the mental illness John has, explaining enough so I understood, and making him sympathetic.

Elsewhere:

• The Atlantic discusses how The Fault in Our Stars is not the saviour of YA - that YA doesn't need saving.
