My Weekly Book Haul: 06/07/2014

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.

She crosses her legs when she sleeps!

This week has just been the worst. It's been so bad that I don't even have the energy to explain why it was so bad. The only thing that was good about this week was all the pretty books I got. Mainly, the new Bloomsbury editions of Harry Potter, which are beyond gorgeous. Oh, and not forgetting the adorable Lilo, who likes to keep me company as I blog.

 The Harry Potter Series

YAY! So excited to get these. They were going to be gifts from James for Christmas, I just couldn't wait that long. They are just absolutely gorgeous I think they're my favourite covers ever. The original Bloomsbury's have always been Harry Potter to me, but these are stunning and I love them. They're beautiful colours, have brilliant back covers, have a map of Hogwarts in each and so much else. I LOVE THEM!

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Meet Celaena Sardothien.
Beautiful. Deadly. Destined for greatness.
In the dark, filthy salt mines of Endovier, an eighteen-year-old girl is serving a life sentence. She is a trained assassin, the best of her kind, but she made a fatal mistake: she got caught.
Young Captain Westfall offers her a deal: her freedom in return for one huge sacrifice. Celaena must represent the prince in a to-the-death tournament—fighting the most gifted thieves and assassins in the land. Live or die, Celaena will be free. Win or lose, she is about to discover her true destiny. But will her assassin’s heart be melted?

Have already read this, but I needed to own the whole series myself. It's my new favourite. Earns a place of the favourites shelf. 

Crown of Midnight and  The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

I won Amanda's  Summer Surge Read-a-thon giveaway over on Book Badger. I picked these two because I want to own the whole Throne of Glass series. 

Dangerous Boys by Abigail Haas

It all comes down to this. Oliver, Ethan, and I. Three teens venture into an abandoned lake house one night. Hours later, only two emerge from the burning wreckage. Chloe drags one Reznick brother to safety, unconscious and bleeding. The other is left to burn, dead in the fire. But which brother survives? And is his death a tragic accident? Desperate self-defense? Or murder ...? Chloe is the only one with the answers. As the fire rages, and police and parents demand the truth, she struggles to piece the story together - a story of jealousy, twisted passion and the darkness that lurks behind even the most beautiful faces...

I have read this and reviewed it already. But I was lucky enough to win a finished copy from Jess at Jess Hearts Books.

 

Grave Mercy and Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers

Young, beautiful and deadly. Trained as an assassin by the god of Death, Ismae is sent to the court of Brittany, where she finds herself under prepared - not only for the games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?

  

The Killables, The Disappearances and The System by Gemma Malley

Everyone accepted that people were different physically. But inside? Inside, they were different too. You just had to know how to tell, what to look for. Evil has been eradicated. The City has been established. And citizens may only enter after having the 'evil' part of their brain removed. They are labelled on the System according to how 'good' they are. If they show signs of the evil emerging, they are labelled a K... But no one knows quite what that means. Only that they disappear, never to be seen again...

I remember reading and really enjoying the authors first dystopian series, so I can't wait to try her new one.

Erased by Jennifer Rush

I've owned the first book since Christmas, so when I saw the sequel at work I had to grab it. Hoping it will give me the push I need to finally start this series.

Suspicion by Alexandra Monir

Mysterious. Magnificent. Creepy. Welcome to Rockford Manor.
"There's something hidden in the Maze." Seventeen-year-old Imogen has never forgotten the last words her father said to her seven years ago, before the blazing fire that consumed him, her mother, and the gardens of her family's English country manor.
Haunted by her parents' deaths, Imogen moves to New York City with her new guardians. But when a letter arrives with the news of her cousin's untimely death, revealing that Imogen is now the only heir left to run the estate, she returns to England and warily accepts her role as duchess.
All is not as it seems at Rockford, and Imogen quickly learns that dark secrets lurk behind the mansion's aristocratic exterior, hinting that the spate of deaths in her family were no accident. And at the center of the mystery is Imogen herself--and Sebastian, the childhood friend she has secretly loved for years. Just what has Imogen walked into?
