Not many books this week, but I am quite stoked about the ones I got. I took a trip over to the Waterstonesby UCL and they had a ton of fiction in their secondhand/remainders section that I was able to snag on the cheap. I also picked up a pen that looks like a blood filled syringe – needless to say it was love at first sight for my medic mum. Very pleased with myself.
This week:
- The Madness of Angels by Kate Griffin
- The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wrobleski – Give this one a pass, people. I am just glad I only spent ₤2 on it.
- Paper Towns by John Green – I know people practically worship this book, so I hope it lives up to its rep!
- Blood Feud by Alyxandra Harvey
That’s all! As I’m not going to be in the UK for the next 2 months – unless something mad happens, resulting in my return – I’m afraid my IMM posts are going to be rather scarce. I’ll get the occasional book from The Book Depository, but this summer is going to have to be devoted to reading the books I already own. Picky, huh?
Soo… how was your week? ♥

I think I need some time to concentrate on reading what I own too. I really liked Blood Feud. My mailbox is here. Happy reading!
Paper towns is a very good read! I wouldn’t rate it as the best I’ve ever read but it is interesting :).
Paper Towns is awesome, enjoy!
My IMM post
Great books you got this week. Paper Towns looks really good. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
I was totally surprised by how much I liked Paper Towns, so I hope you do too. Personally I thought Blood Feud was a vast improvement on MLLB…enjoy!
I’ve always wanted to read A Madness of Angels (look at the lovely cover), but I wasn’t sure if it’d be good. I’ll wait for your review and then I’ll decide 🙂
Have fun for whatever you’re doing for the next 2 months!
I agree with you, I didn’t think Edgar Sawtelle was all that people were making it out to be. I hope you enjoy the rest of your books more.
Well you did a nice job this week!!! 🙂

The Griffen book looks intriguing. Happy reading. My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
I’ve been wanting to read anything John Green for a while after reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson.. Haven’t checked out Paper Towns though. I hope its good!

I hope you HEART Paper Towns as much as I did, and YAY for reading your own books, right? 🙂
