Review: Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody

Release date: April 10, 2018 Author info: Website | Twitter Publisher: Harlequin Teen Pages: 416 Format: Egalley Source: Publisher provided for review through Netgalley Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets… and secrets hide in every shadow. Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school—and her reputation—behind to follow her mother’s trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted.

Hellooo! How have y'all been? It's been a bit, but I'm still here. I'm super excited because I have one assignment left for this semester, and then I'm done! That means my first semester of grad school is nearly finished, if you can believe it! It's been kind of crazy at work with the Harry Potter Magical Ball on Friday (We had over 200 people in my little store--unheard of for us!) and Christmas coming, but I love retail holidays only because there are more of us working, so I get to see all of my work friends!

I'm saving for school next semester and Disney, so I'm really working not to spend money, aside from Christmas presents--and I'm not doing too badly! So, there aren't as many books as there would normally be... ANYWAY, on to the books! (I was too lazy to turn on another light, so these were really dark... And I just edited them. I'm that lazy--and that's why they don't look good!)

For review:



The Warden's Daughter by Jerry Spinelli

Purchased:


A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir
The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick

Why yes, I did take advantage of the signed books at work over Black Friday weekend! I did a really good job holding myself back, to be very honest. I could have come home with a lot more.

Books I read:
Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nahesi Coates
Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

I'm currently reading:
The Young Elites by Marie Lu

I'm considering making these kinds of posts a monthly thing, rather than weekly. I've never loved putting them together, though I do love looking at everyone else's, and since I'm not buying much, I won't have as much to share. I may go to doing a monthly recap, which would include whatever books I get. I dunno. Just been mulling it over.

But hey! It's kind of cold here and I'm loving it! :D

Have a lovely Sunday and a fabulous week!

Review: The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

Release date: January 26, 2016 Author info: Twitter | Facebook Publisher: Razorbill Pages: 400 Format: ARC Source: Gifted Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.  Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start…until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right. That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s ...

Nothing much exciting going on for me this week, just the holiday meeting at work this morning. I used my last bit of vacation and visited my best friend this week, and we spent too much money. Oops. :) ANYWAY, on to the books! Purchased: Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson (signed! YAY!) Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt Traded: The Dark Days Pact by Alison Goodman I am more than a little bit excited to have this in my hands, y'all. I LOVED the first book. But I'm pretty sad about the new cover direction. I wish they'd stop doing this. I also got this super fun promotional package from Swoon Reads! I did a happy dance when I saw what it was. I love that tote! Books I read this week: The Sun Is Also a Star   by Nicola Yoon I'm currently reading: Notorious Pleasures b...
