Review copies:
Marly's Ghost by David Levithan - I was really looking forward to this, but now I've read it, I'm afraid to say it wasn't my bad. Review below. Also came with some heart sweets - look at the cool packaging!
Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley - I have heard such awesome things about this book, and I am so excited to read this! I'm sure it's going to be amazing!
Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver - I haven't heard a huge amount about this book, but I am a HUGE fan of Oliver, so I'm looking forward to reading this! :)
Thank you to Electric Monkey, MiraINK and Hodder & Stoughton for the review copies.
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.
Reviews:
Three books read and reviewed this week. Replica by Jack Heath is a brilliant fast-paced and action-packed YA sci-fi thriller! It's so, so good! Marly's Ghost by David Levithan, a remix of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, sadly wasn't my cup of tea. Finding a Voice by Kim Hood is an absolutely beautiful and moving story of friendship, involving disability and mental illness - one of the books shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2015.
I'm intrigued by Marly's Ghost - Levithan's early stuff seems to be a bit hit and miss for me! I hope you love Lies We Tell Ourselves.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this one didn't really work for me, sadly :( But still a huge fan of his! I'll keep reading his stuff :)
DeleteSo do I! I'm sure I will, though. Really looking forward to it!
Marly's Ghost looks good - I have only read a short story by David and need to read some more!

David Levithan's stuff is really good, generally. His newer books have had more of an impact on me, though. Hope you enjoy it if you read it! :)
DeleteI thought Lies We Tell Ourselves was really interesting. I'm looking forward to Lauren's new book. Sad you didnt like Levithan's though!
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to Lies We Tell Ourselves, I've heard such great things about it!
DeleteYeah, felt a little disappointed that I didn't enjoy Levithan's. He's normally so awesome! But it's a different kind of book, and it just didn't work for me.
Awesome week you had! Marly's Ghost seems interesting! Check out my Sunday Post.
