Beautiful Creatures was one of my favourite reads this year (and still is, as I'm currently re-reading it before starting the sequel). I have high hopes for Beautiful Darkness and am sure that it will be just as intriguing and atmospheric as the first book.

On the urging of my young cousin, I read the first couple of Darren Shan books several years ago. I remember being quite shocked by the level of gore and not hugely impressed by the level of writing. This arrived as a surprise through the post this week and is the first in a prequel trilogy. On first glance it actually looks pretty good so fingers crossed.

I suddenly realised last week that we are now into October and I still have a few books on my list for the 2010 Debut Author Challenge. This is one of them and I think the premise looks excellent. Hopefully the story will support the great jumping off point.

I can't say that I know an awful lot about this title bar the fact that, again, it has a nice enough premise. I suspect that vampires may be involved and I haven't read a vampire book for ages having been traumatised by the awfulness of Marked - hopefully this will reignite my blook-sucker love.
And that's me for this week. I have a ridiculous TBR pile at the moment, am back to studying and also trying to start some Christmas shopping so have put book purchasing on indefinite hold until I clear all of that! I know that I have some nice titles on the way from friends and the phenomenal UK Book Tours though, so lots to look forward to! Have a great week, everyone and enjoy yer reads.
