Bought:

Sara’s Face by Melvin BurgessSara’s Face by Melvin Burgess

Sarah is going to have a face transplant. She has allowed herself to be drawn into the orbit of a highly manipulative and ruthless pop-star. He is going to take her discarded face to cover his own scarred and damaged one. But, as the time of the operation approaches, those closest to her suspect that Sarah is changing her mind. Is she being pressured into it? Is the wealthy pop-star her benefactor - or her gaoler?


Won:

Frostbite by Richelle MeadFrostbite by Richelle Mead from Spinebreakers.co.uk

It's winter break at St Vladimir's, and a massive Strigoi vampire attack has put the school on high alert. This year's trip away from the academy to the wintery peaks of Idaho has suddenly become mandatory. But Rose's troubles seem to follow her wherever she goes - dealing with the pain of knowing that her relationship with her tutor Dimitri can never be, things get even more complicated when one her closest friends admits his feelings for her. The glittering winter landscape may create the illusion of safety but Rose - and her heart - are in more danger than she ever could have imagined...


I'm a happy girl! Get anything good this week? Also check out Ink and Paper for more books.

  1. The first book sounds kind of creepy. Book 2 is on my list. I thought I was the only one who hasn't read that whole series.
