I got a lot of great books this week – I’m afraid I let myself go at Foyles and Forbidden Planet! First off, I got two lovely signed editions this week:
- The Devil You Know by Mike Carey – This is supposed to be a brilliant book and has been on wishlist for a while. Seeing a signed copy was a great excuse to get it!
- Stolen by Kelley Armstrong – Apparently having 3 signed books by her wasn’t enough for me… I was just proud of myself for not buying her entire series signed!
And the rest:
- Beastly by Alex Flinn – So glad to get a cover without the annoying “read it before you see it” faux!stickers.
- Beating Heart by A.M. Jenkins – Hadn’t heard of this book before I found it on the shelves at Foyles. The great quote by Melissa Marr on the cover made me decide to take a risk!
- Angel by Cliff McNish
- Split by Stefan Petrucha – A lovely US hardcover import… thank you Foyles!
- The Secret Life of Trees: How They Live and Why They Matter by Colin Trudge
So that was my week! How was yours? ♥

Great selection of books – I’m reading Stolen at the moment & really enjoying it so far! How lucky to find signed books in the store, I never think to look for things like that but perhaps I need to in the future LOL. Hope you have a fab week :o)
Nice swag this week! I’m hoping to be able to get around to reading all of Kelley’s books in the near future Here’s mine 🙂
Both signed books are excellent. I love Mike Carey’s Felix Castor series. I’m jealous you got a signed book! I live in the US so chances of every getting a signed anything from Mike Carey are slim but it is awesome that you could pick one up. Kelly Armstrong’s book is good too. 🙂
I loved Beastly and I hope you enjoy it too. Split and Beating Heart sound really interesting.
I love Kelly Armstrong’s books. Great books this week! 🙂
