I went shopping over at the Borders closing down sale. I felt guilty about it, as I LOVED the Borders on Charing Cross Road. I wasted many hours at their Starbucks, flicking through books. Am really sad to see them go… I guess Waterstone’s and Blackwells are all that is left for me now.
Young Adult Books:
Tithe by Holly Black
My Soul To Take by Rachel Vincent
She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.
Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who’ll be next…
Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith
Urban Fantasy:
Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow
Not everyone tries.
But Jill Kismet is not just anyone.
She’s a Hunter, trained by the best – and in over her head.
Welcome to the night shift…
Night Life by Caitlin Kittredge
Among them is Luna Wilder, a tough-as-nails police officer whose job is to keep the peace. As an Insoli werewolf, Luna travels without a pack and must rely on instinct alone. And she’s just been assigned to find the ruthless killer behind a string of ritualistic murders—a killer with ties to an escaped demon found only in legend…until now.
But when she investigates prime suspect Dmitri Sandovsky, she can’t resist his wolfish charms. Pack leader of a dangerous clan of Redbacks, Dimitri sends her animal instincts into overdrive and threatens her fiercely-guarded independence. But Luna and Dimiri will need to rely on each other as they’re plunged into an ancient demon underworld and pitted against an expert black magician with the power to enslave them for eternity…

What? Is Borders leaving from Charing Cross Roads??? Oh no. While I was in London I spent hours in that store.
Great books! I enjoyed My Soul to Take. I’ve been wanting to read Tantalize. Enjoy and Happy reading!
@Milka – The whole Borders UK chain is closing! It is uber depressing…. :/
@Casey – Thanks! I am a bit weary of Vincent’s YA book, as I couldn’t stand Faythe in her werecats series. But I have decided to remain optimistic!
You have some great looking books there. I hope that you enjoy all of them. I liked Tithe and Night Life. I have Night Shift somewhere in my TBR pile and My Soul to Save on order from Amazon. I did like her werecats series better than the first one though.
These look like fun reads! I am really drawn to the cover of Tantalize. Enjoy!
Here’s mine
