So, I was in the UK for about an hour-and-a-half this week, but I still managed to sneak in a trip to a bookstore! Got a couple of books I’d had on my radar for a while now…
- Die for Me by Amy Plum – This has been on my radar for quite a while, but I hadn’t actually planned on getting it until I saw Jenny’s (Wondrous Reads) review last week.
- Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson – I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about this book. I’m only about 40 pages in, but I have a feeling it will live up to the hype.
- Unearthly by Cynthia Hand – Again, I hadn’t quite planned on getting this book. I’ve been rather swamped by YA paranormals as of late… but after seeing so many great reviews for the novel, I gave in.
And, that’s all for this week. I’ve got loads of books on the way from Bookdepository (their 10% off code is was a dangerous temptation), so next week should be a good one. ♥

Wait a minute, you were in the UK for how long???? lol These are all books that are on my tbr list.
Unearthly is on my wishlist, hope you will enjoy the book.
The Book Depository coupon is so dangerous, I already ordered some books with it even so I have more than enough in my TBR shelf.
Unearthly and Die for Me are two of my 2011 faves. Hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Well i got a huge stash of books this week. I like the choices. Have read Die for Me, and Unearthly. Both Good Choices. New follower. Check out my IMM.
I loved Die For Me, hope you enjoy it as well. Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand looks really good!

I hope you like Die for Me (it’s definitely worth a read, though I’m not a big fan of the main boy) and Unearthly sounds fantastic (pretty cover too). I’m really looking forward to reading that one.
Happy reading!
