Owl Post is a feature at Eleusinian Mysteries of Reading which was inspired by The Story Siren’s In My Mailbox.
As I’ve currently been on the Gold Coast seeing my dad since the 15th I don’t know what I got in my mailbox at home. So if I got anything they’ll be in next week’s Owl Post (or the week’s after that).
Recently, however, HarperCollins put loads of new books on Edelweiss and since I’m auto-approved and can download directly… DUN DUN DUNNNNN! I ended up with ten more books than I had only a couple days before. And, now, I will share what those titles are. My Sony Touch is going to get a LOT of loving in the next couple of months.
The End Games by T. Michael Martin
Severed Heads, Broken Hearts by Robyn Schneider
Reboot by Amy Tintera
Night School by C.J. Daugherty
Towering by Alex Flinn
Born of Illusion by Teri Brown
The Ward by Jordana Frankel
Life After Theft by Aprilynne Pike
September Girls by Bennett Madison
House of Secrets by Chris Columbus & Ned Vizzini
A BIG thank you to HarperCollins for these e-galleys, acquired through Edelweiss.
SO MANY “AHHHHHHHHHHH!” TITLES!
I’m particularly extremely interested and looking forward to reading The End Games as I haven’t read many zombie books and I think this one sounds pretty awesome, Born of Illusion as it reminds me of The Diviners and I lurrrvvved that book, September Girls because at first glance I believed it was a contemporary romance with a female main character but really is a romance story WITH a boy protagonist WITH mermaids WRITTEN by a male author and it sounds like one of those “special” books, and then there is House of Secrets which I just want to dive into the water on the cover and embark on the adventure that Chris Columbus (director of Harry Potter films) and Ned Vizzini have in store for us.
What books did you acquire this week?
I am excited for these too! When Epic Reads showed them during their #teatime chat I think I fell in love. Totally dying to read Life After Theft

I haven’t yet read the Wings series but I’m hoping Life After Theft may make me.

BOOIDONTLIKEYOUANYMORE! *grabby hands at books* I’m giving up even bothering requesting ebooks, I never read them
Either ebooks just aren’t for me or I need to invest in a better ereader.
Oh hey, I didn’t know that about September Girls… any of that. Male author/protag. Mermaids. MUST GO LOOK THIS UP. Night School is awesome, just finished the sequel and it’s pretty good too. I’m really excited for The Ward! And The End Games! And Reboot! And Severed-… okay, nearly all of them
ENJOY!

NANANANANANANANAAAA!
No, seriously. I MAKE myself read the ebooks I request… actually, I haven’t really requested any of these or, well, really downloaded them yet since I can do that anytime before the download expires. So I don’t have the pressure of having to read any of them before the release date, until it comes up unexpectedly. Love Harper very much. Penguin on the other hand I would like to push off a cliff.
