For review

Clockwork Angel
Cassandra Clare
Walker Books 2010
Hee. Hee hee hee. That's me giggling in glee. I'm reading this currently and it is just as awesome as I thought it would be - and more different to the Mortal Instruments series than I expected. Curious to see how it ends...





Book Tour

Fade
Lisa McMann
Simon Pulse
This comes via UK Book Tours, who you really should check out if you are a UK blogger. I really enjoyed reading Wake last week (review soon) and am interested to find out where the story line will head in this sequel.



Book Faeryness

As You Wish
Jackson Pearce
Harper Teen 2009
I received this on surprise loan from the lovely Emma at Asamum Booktopia. I absolutely loved Sisters Red (review here) by the same author and am keen to see what this is like.







Bought

Mockingjay
Suzanne Collins
Scholastic 2010
Bah. I actually pre-ordered this but it didn't arrive until well after the release date. Sadly, I have had the end of the story spoiled for me by a review that did not carry a spoiler warning. Therefore it has been relegated to my shelf until I feel like having a look.

Candor
Pam Bachorz
Egmont Books 2010
I've seen this reviewed a couple of times recently and like the premise. It looks pretty sinister and I love the extremely creepy cover. I've not heard of the author before and it's always nice to go into a book knowing nothing about the style of writing.

Among Friends
Caroline B. Cooney
Bantam 1988
I read very little teen fiction when I was an actual teen, but I did read (repeatedly) and love Among Friends. I tracked down a copy (it's not in print) and was so excited when it arrived I actually stopped reading Clockwork Angel in order to read it instead. I know. I am delighted to report that it was just as good as I remember it.


So, a slightly quieter week is approaching reading wise which is good as the 12th of September sees the start of Week Of The Living Dead here at Mountains of Instead.  Yes, I will be celebrating all things zombie with reviews, discussion posts, haikus and a great international give away.  There will be contributions from many familiar and not so familiar names and I hope that you will all stop by to check out some of the great guest posts that will be appearing that week!  Until then, happy reading!
