Friday Finds is something that was started over on ShouldBeReading and Stacking the Shelves over at TyngaReviews, I am in love with all of these as I love finding other blogs to follow and books to read through these! So check them all out and see what you find, Stacking the Shelves has a lot of participants as well which is great. This is basically a way for me to show what books I have received, borrowed or bought each week. All book covers and their summary come from back of book or Goodreads.
Making friends has never been Elise Dembowski’s strong suit. All throughout her life, she’s been the butt of every joke and the outsider in every conversation. When a final attempt at popularity fails, Elise nearly gives up. Then she stumbles upon a warehouse party where she meets Vicky, a girl in a band who accepts her; Char, a cute, yet mysterious disc jockey; Pippa, a carefree spirit from England; and most importantly, a love for DJing.
Told in a refreshingly genuine and laugh-out-loud funny voice, THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE is an exuberant novel about identity, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.
Signed!!! Eeeek!
Starting over sucks.
When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.
And then he opened his mouth.
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens.
The hot alien living next door marks me.
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.
If I don't kill him first, that is.
Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion...she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit--more sparkly, more fun, more wild--the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.
When Cricket--a gifted inventor--steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door
This might be good... if I can get over the name Cricket Bell. Seriously?!?
Gemma Fisher seems to have it all—she’s carefree, pretty, and falling in love with Alex, the boy next door. He’s always been just a friend, but this summer they’ve taken their relationship to the next level, and now she’s falling harder for him every day. But Gemma doesn’t know that her ordinary life is about to change forever.
Penn, Lexi and Thea are strangers in town for the summer—and they’ve been watching her. Three sisters with mysterious powers, they invite Gemma to join their exclusive circle, and it changes her in ways she never imagined. Suddenly she’s stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. But her new powers come with a terrifying price. And as she uncovers the truth, she’s is forced to choose between staying with those she loves—or entering a new world brimming with dark hungers and unimaginable secrets.
What is with the random cover change halfway through the series?
In a world where people born with an exceptional skill, known as a Grace, are both feared and exploited, Katsa carries the burden of a skill even she despises: the Grace of killing.
Feared by the court and shunned by those her own age, the darkness of her Grace casts a heavy shadow over Katsa’s life. Yet she remains defiant: when the King of Lienid’s father is kidnapped she investigates, and stumbles across a mystery. Who would want to kidnap the old man, and why? And who was the extraordinary Graced man whose fighting abilities rivalled her own?
The only thing Katsa is sure of is that she no longer wants to kill. The intrigue around this kidnapping offers her a way out – but little does she realise, when she takes it, that something insidious and dark lurks behind the mystery. Something spreading from the shadowy figure of a one-eyed king...
Untrained. Untested. Unleashed With her unique magical abilities, Opal Cowan has always felt unsure of her place at Sitia's magic academy - but now it's time to test her powers in the real world.
Under threat from a deadly massacre, the powerful Stormdancer clan need Opal's unusual skills to protect their people. And their plea is impossible to resist, especially when it comes from mysterious, mercurial Kade. Yet pulling her powers in unfamiliar directions pushes Opal to uncover a new kind of magic as stunningly potent as it is frightening, with danger and deception rising around her, will Opal's untested abilities destroy her - or save them all?
When the picture tells the story…
Senior year is almost over, and Jamie Peterson has a big problem. Not college—that’s all set. Not prom—he’ll find a date somehow. No, it’s the worst problem of all: he’s fallen for his best friend.
As much as Jamie tries to keep it under wraps, everyone seems to know where his affections lie, and the giggling girls in art class are determined to help Jamie get together with Mason. But Jamie isn’t sure if that’s what he wants—because as much as Jamie would like to come clean to Mason, what if the truth ruins everything? What if there are no more road trips, taco dinners, or movie nights? Does he dare risk a childhood friendship for romance?
This book is about what happens when a picture reveals what we can’t say, when art is truer than life, and how falling in love is easy, except when it’s not. Fan Art explores the joys and pains of friendship, of pressing boundaries, and how facing our worst fears can sometimes lead us to what we want most.

It's Spend the Book Budget!!!!! month at work, which means lots and lots of ordering books. This is an amazing but deadly time of year. I am in charge of ordering all the young adult, which I love. But then they all arrive and I get super excited and borrow half myself - I am terrible! This week all the different book series we ordered have started arriving and I went a little OTT. I also had a great London day with my best friend, who had come home for visit from his uni in Bournemouth. It was so much fun and I had to go to the giant Waterstones at Piccadilly and buy some books.

Heart-Shaped Bruise by Tanya Byrne
They say I'm evil. The police. The newspapers. The girls from school who shake their heads on the six o’clock news and say they always knew there was something not quite right about me. And everyone believes it. Including you. But you don't know. You don't know who I used to be.
Who I could have been.

Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza
Mila 2.0 is the first book in an electrifying sci-fi thriller series about a teenage girl who discovers that she is an experiment in artificial intelligence.
Mila was never meant to learn the truth about her identity. She was a girl living with her mother in a small Minnesota town. She was supposed to forget her past—that she was built in a secret computer science lab and programmed to do things real people would never do.
Now she has no choice but to run—from the dangerous operatives who want her terminated because she knows too much and from a mysterious group that wants to capture her alive and unlock her advanced technology. However, what Mila’s becoming is beyond anyone’s imagination, including her own, and it just might save her life.
Mila 2.0 is Debra Driza’s bold debut and the first book in a Bourne Identity-style trilogy that combines heart-pounding action with a riveting exploration of what it really means to be human. Fans of I Am Number Four will love Mila for who she is and what she longs to be—and a cliffhanger ending will leave them breathlessly awaiting the sequel.
Red Hill by Jamie McGuire
When the world ends, can love survive?
For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone makes fighting for tomorrow an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can’t remember what it’s like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda’s biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly “outbreak” begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can’t outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy—an enemy who no longer remembers what it’s like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you’d die for becomes the one who could destroy you?
Red Hill grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go until its stunning conclusion. This is #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.

Aria is a teenager in the enclosed city of Reverie. Like all Dwellers, she spends her time with friends in virtual environments, called Realms, accessed through an eyepiece called a Smarteye. Aria enjoys the Realms and the easy life in Reverie. When she is forced out of the pod for a crime she did not commit, she believes her death is imminent. The outside world is known as The Death Shop, with danger in every direction. As an Outsider, Perry has always known hunger, vicious predators, and violent energy storms from the swirling electrified atmosphere called the Aether. A bit of an outcast even among his hunting tribe, Perry withstands these daily tests with his exceptional abilities, as he is gifted with powerful senses that enable him to scent danger, food and even human emotions.
They come together reluctantly, for Aria must depend on Perry, whom she considers abarbarian, to help her get back to Reverie, while Perry needs Aria to help unravel the mystery of his beloved nephew’s abduction by the Dwellers. Together they embark on a journey challenged as much by their prejudices as by encounters with cannibals and wolves. But to their surprise, Aria and Perry forge an unlikely love - one that will forever change the fate of all who live UNDER THE NEVER SKY

Poison Study, Magic Study & Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder
Choose: A quick death and hell or slow poison and hell.

(Don't You) Forget About Me by Kate Karyus Quinn
Welcome to Gardnerville.
A place where no one gets sick. And no one ever dies.
Except...
There’s a price to pay for paradise. Every fourth year, the strange power that fuels the town exacts its payment by infecting teens with deadly urges. In a normal year in Gardnerville, teens might stop talking to their best friends. In a fourth year, they’d kill them.
Four years ago, Skylar’s sister, Piper, was locked away after leading sixteen of her classmates to a watery grave. Since then, Skylar has lived in a numb haze, struggling to forget her past and dull the pain of losing her sister. But the secrets and memories Piper left behind keep taunting Skylar—whispering that the only way to get her sister back is to stop Gardnerville’s murderous cycle once and for all.

Wowza! What an amazing haul!
ReplyDeleteObsidian is amazing. As is the rest of the series. Especially the latest one, Origin was great!
I'm just so jealous of all the fabulous books you borrowed. The libraries here don't even own any of the books you got! Under The Never Sky is amazing. I read it pretty recently. SO GOOD! Also, Wake! Good book. I keep meaning to read the others in the series. And Maria V. Snyder! I love her but haven't read those books yet. Just all awesome! :D
Happy Reading!

DeleteThat's a HUGE haul. Wow, how will you find the time to get through them all? Some awesome titles there, I just finished Red Hill and didn't think much of it, interested to read your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading.
My STS
I won't find the time, which is the problem! I'm not too sure about Red Hill, I really disliked Jamie McGuire's other book I read - her male romantic interest was weird, violent and crazy and I was supposed to think he was 'perfect'. Strange.
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Ohh sing it sister. Travis Maddox was the ultimate arrogant jerk off. But Red Hill is much better, none of the main characters are wanks like that.
DeleteHaha soooo glad I'm not the only one who didn't get the whole Travis thing! So glad to hear Red Hill doesn't have a character like him!
DeleteThat's an incredible haul. I hope you enjoy all of these books and that you come out of your reading slump.
ReplyDeleteMe too, reading slumps are awful! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteWhat an awesome haul! I love the Graceling series, I hope you'll enjoy it as well :)
ReplyDeleteThis Song Will Save Your Life seems pretty good, I need to check that one out, for sure.
I have some of the books on your list on my TBR shelf, but there are so many books there :)
Have a wonderful weekend.

DeleteSo many great books. Love the Lux series, it's so addicting. And This Song Will Save My Life was so good, I really enjoyed it. Under the Never Sky...incredible series. I also loved Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue. The Study series was also great. And Lola...loved that book! Have fun reading! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteOMG the Lux series is TOO addictive! I was up till 4am reading Onyx last night, really regretting that decision now as I feel awful!
DeleteI'm really excited for Under the Never Sky, that series looks really great. I hope I enjoy them all :)

Ooh I absolutely LOVED Obsidian, such a great book! So glad I finally picked it up :)
DeleteWow what a haul! I really liked Mila 2.0, but Rossi's books were rather disappointing, at least book one. I think I'll still finish the series.
ReplyDeleteI still have to read Cashore and Synder's study series.
Great selection, enjoy all of these!
I hope I enjoy them all too :)
DeleteGreat Haul! I love all things by Veronica Rossi, I've heard many good things about This Song will save your life. Hope you enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI just finished Obsidian and absolutely loved it. I'm very excited for Lola too :)
DeleteWow, I see so many books that I need to read and a few that I need to finish of those you have listed. I actually read Mila 2.0 and liked it. Have a great week. :) New follower
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following :)
DeleteIt looks like you "spent the book budget" very well! I see lots of excellent picks there. And This Song Will Save Your Life was wonderful, and the romance (if you can call it that) was very different than you typically see in this genre. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteStephanie @ Inspiring Insomnia
I LOVED This Song, such a great read and totally agree about the 'romance' in that one! I spent the budget but made my TBR list way too long in the process! :)
DeleteOh my goodness! So many books! I am really intrigued by Heart-Shaped Bruise. Also I looooove Fire & Graceling. I'm not a big fan of Bitterblue. The Study series is really great as well! Ack you have so many awesome books. Me and Alexa of Alexa Loves Books are doing a read-a-thon of the Under the Never Sky series if you'd like to join? We're still in the planning stages but let me know if you want to join in!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I LOVE the idea of an Under the Never Sky read-a-thon and I would definitely be interested in that! :)
DeleteOoh, so many awesome books! I always come back with that many books from the library too-gotta love the library :D This Song Will Save Your Life is supposed to be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThis Song was amazing, would definitely recommend! :)
DeleteAh, that's so exciting that you got to see your best friend :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a ton of great books! Mila 2.0 was great, as were UTNS & TTEN! I hope you enjoy all of them :D Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
Thanks for checking my post out too :)
DeleteI've heard amazing things about This Song Will Save Your Life! And omg so many other great books! I love Graceling and also LOLA and the Under the Never Sky series. I hope you enjoy them too!
ReplyDeleteThis Song was amazing, would definitely recommend! I'm very excited to read Lola, Graceling and Under The Never Sky; all of those look incredible :)
DeleteI've heard AMAZING things about This Song Will Save Your Life. I am SO jealous that you have it *eyes my Christmas tree hopefully* I do need to read all of Stephanie Perkins books ASAP. I got Wicked Games and (Don't You) Forget About Me weeks ago and I'm SO excited! As you know, I got Fan Art this week as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!

This Song was amazing, I really hope you get it!!! :) Thanks so much for following too :)
DeleteSo many pretty books! I love Amanda Hocking. And I have Red Hill, but haven't listened to it yet. AND Obsidian and Under the Never Sky are both on my TBR list. Enjoy them all! My STS
ReplyDeleteI really loved Obsidian, hope you do too when you get to it :)
DeleteSo many goodies! I'm about to fangirl, too because uh, Heart-Shaped Bruise. One of my favourite books in existence, though it made me cry and oh, the feels.
