I couldn't resist checking out National Bookstore's sale! I ended up picking up around 12 books actually, since a lot of the YA books I want are on sale (most are 100 php!) but only bought 5. Yep, I'm broke.
Every other week (Saturday) I will be showcasing the literary offerings I got. The list will include print copies, as well as e-books I got for review, and other books that I bought or borrowed from friends.
For Review:
Like Moonlight at Low Tide by Nicole Quigley
Girl With Borrowed Wings by Rinsai Rosetti
Pure (Pure #1) by Julianna Baggott
Losing Lila (Lila #2) by Sarah Alderson
Wicked Sweet by M'arce Merrell
Bought:
Partials (Partials #1) by Dan Wells
Whisper (Whisper #1) by Phoebe Kitanidis
Pegasus (Pegasus #1) by Robin McKinley
Silver Phoenix and Fury of the Phoenix by Cindy Pon (borrowed by a friend almost immediately after I bought it, so no picture!)
Thanks to Candice at DJC Communications and Zondervan, Rinsai Rosetti, the fabulous Sam Eades over at Headline UK, Catherine and Simon & Schuster UK and Ksenia over at Macmillan!
Pegasus looks fantastic! I hope you enjoy all of your books!
ReplyDeleteit does! I haven't read any of Robin McKinley's books but I really want to read this one :)
DeleteI'm still undecided If I'm going to get a copy of Partials, so I will be waiting for your review if the book is worth it :)
ReplyDeletehey there Jello! I'll be reading Partials next week so make sure to check back then and see if the review's up. I've heard a lot of great things about the book though.
DeleteHm. A lot of new books I haven't heard of before. Like Moonlight at Low Tide looks like a good one. Pure looks like a pretty interesting book too.
ReplyDeleteHope you stop by my stack :): http://dream-wish-live.blogspot.com/2012/06/in-my-mailbox_30.html
Hey there, Felicia! Yep, Like Moonlight at Low Tide sounds like an emotional read but it sounds like a good contemp as well. I've read a lot of reviews about Pure and they're mostly positive so give it a try!

You sneaky Brodiemort! Nooooooooooooo!!!! *snatches back Alex and my copy of Losing Lila* You can't have them!!! I'll read Losing Lila closer to release date, also for the tour so maybe in a few weeks? I kind of skimmed over Partials and I liked what I've read! I'll let you know what I think of Pure, I'm thinking of bumping it up my TBR pile, so hopefully this week.
