OMG you got Reached!!! Jealous :D I've also heard great things about The Diviners so I'm curious about that as well! Great haul this week, thanks for sharing & happy reading!
My StS
Micheline @ Lunar Rainbows
Looking forward to hearing what you think of The Diviners and Reached. I started The Diviners but then got distracted, so I need to pick that one back up. And I'm not sure what I'll do about Reached. I really liked Matched, but Crossed was a bit of a disappointment.
Torn immediately caught my interest. I'll have to check that out. The Shine Light cover is gorgeous! I have the same reaction as you whenever I see how thick some books are. Haha.
Great haul this week, Mands. And your hair looks so good! :)
A wonderful haul Mandee! I can't wait to see what you think of The Dviners & Reached (I still need to read Crossed). The other books you received sound amazing.
Happy reading & I hope you are having a great weekend!
I really enjoyed Burn Bright when I first read it and keep forgetting there are sequels to it. :P I also really love the Aussie cover for The Diviners! It's so wonderfully eerie. :)
Great haul, Mandee!
oh, you have Reached, that is on my TBR list. :) Great haul you have this week. Enjoy!
Stacking the Shelves & In My Mailbox
Hope you enjoy Angel Arias and Shine Light when you get around to them. Angel Arias was my favourite of the trilogy, and I read Shine Light on the day that I got it and although I loved it, I was let down by the end (Not the very end, but the ending in general) :( Hope it’s different in your case ;)
Ahh Reached! Although I wasn’t a big fan of Crossed, I’m still looking forward to see how it ends since I enjoyed Matched more than others. As for The Diviners I’m reading it now for the blog tour :D Only about 30 pages in because of these assignments.
Have a great Sunday Mands :)
I didn't know PC & Gena wrote a book together! That's awesome!
I love your cover of The Diviners, I have not seen this one yet.
I believe I am the only person who has yet to read Crossed series.
I started it but for some reason put the book down. It didnt engross me, ut I also had a few other books I was DYING to read looking at me from my desk.
I am reading the newest PC CAST House of Night story. Its book 10. I like the series, but they need to start wrapping it up soon before we dread another release..lolz..
Have a great weekend! <3
Wow, Torn sounds amazing. I've never heard about that, but it looks brilliant. I hope it's good!
I like your owl, by the by.
;)
Reading 'The Diviners' now and it is sooooo good. Long. Very, very long. But very, very good :)
Happy Reading!
I agree with you - loving the Aussie cover of The Diviners, but yes, I was so surprised at how massive it is! Hope you enjoy them all :D
Shaheen @ Speculating on SpecFic
Come and check out my new weekly book haul feature, Stocktake Saturday.
The Diviners! Still dying to get my hands on that one! Enjoy! :)
Mandee, THE DIVINERS! :D I am SO jealous - I NEED THAT COVER! I actually need to buy the US Version still actually, so I might just spend the extra ten dollars and pick this one up from The Fishpond...we'll see! It's SO beautiful though. I hope you enjoy it, dear! I'm also really curious about Torn - I want to read it now! I also have Burn Bright on my Kindle, so I need to get to it ASAP! I love the covers, so perhaps I'll finally get around to picking it up this month! *fingers crossed* I'm so pressed for time lately too, so I totally understand about now having enough time to read. I actually don't have ANYTHING planned this week, so I need to get to writing those reviews ASAP! Anyway, I hope your busy schedule clears up a bit and I'm glad you're having such beautiful weather in Australia! It's cold in the US now, so my gloves and scarves are out already! Anywayyy, happy reading, Mandee! :)
Ooohh Reached! Can't wait to see how it ends! The Diviners sounds good. Been thinking of getting that one. Welcome Caller looks cute! Happy reading!
My Stack
I hope you enjoy all of your bookish goodness! Happy reading! ^.^ If you would like to check out my Stacking The Shelves you can do so here. :)
I hope you like Chloe!! I loved it!! :D Also, that cover for The Diviners is really cool! :D
enjoy all your books :D
I am so jealous you have Reached! I am really looking forward to that one! Awesome book week!
Great haul! I've heard mixed things about the Matched series, but I hope you enjoy Reached! x]
And Shine Light's cover is gorgeouss<3
My Haul
The Diviners was amazing. I am going to buy it someday. Start there!
Your comments about Matched and Crossed made me smile :) I'm surprised at how big Reached is too. I wasn't a big fan of Crossed, but I think I'll read Reached just to see if my predictions are correct!
Great set! I love that cover for The Diviners. I really liked it.
My Bookish Recap
Great book haul! I read The Diviners a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I have a copy of Reached so it'll be interesting how that goes since I didn't enjoy the sequel compared to the first book . . . but we'll see.
Great books this week, Mandee! I like the sound of Torn, and The Diviners has received some high praise as well. I didn't love Crossed, so I wasn't planning on reading Reached, but hope the series ends on a high note and will be interested in your thoughts. Happy reading!
First of all, I adore your cat's name, hah. I'm very curious about Torn, I haven't noticed it before but it sounds great, and I think you're right, we'll be seeing more of these books.
And I do hope you'll enjoy The Diviners.
Happy reading, Mands!
Amazing haul! I keep putting off reading The Diviners because it's huge & doesn't easily fit in my handbag, lol! I hope you enjoy all these pretties! :)
The Diviners is quite daunting. It put me a book behind on my GR challenge =/ but it was so worth it! I hope you love it as much as I did when you do read it.
Hey Mandee! Hope you're enjoying VeganMoFo. Your books this week look great - I've heard a lot of good stuff about Welcome, Caller, This Is Chloe, so I'm glad you managed to get a copy. I recently discovered a bookshop that imports a lot of American YA, which was a nice surprise. :) (Even if they do forget to re-price them from $ to £!) Happy reading!
Eeeep, you got Shine Light! I LOVED the first two books! Hope you enjoy it. :D
Thanks for stopping by my STS! I've been wanting to read a book by Libba Bray, I hear she's great. And this was the first time I heard of Cast and Showalter writing a book together, that's exciting. Enjoy! New follower by the way =)
Oooh, The Diviners. I keep seeing that one about and I've heard some brilliant things about it. I'll definitely have to get my hands on a copy as soon as possible.
Looks like a great haul. Enjoy.
Let's talk a moment about how wonderful that Diviner's cover is, shall we?
SO WONDERFUL.
YAY! Glad your book made it:) Hope it's fab. I also hope you adored The Diviners, it does seem scary long looking at the page count though. Happy Reading!
I utterly love that cover of The Diviners. I hope you end up loving the Diviners as much as I did.
Great haul :-)
Great books this week! I really love that cover of The Diviners (much better then the US cover). I also can't wait to see what you think of Reached, I still have yet to read Crossed even though it is on my shelf *sigh*
Emily @ Falling for YA
Awesome book haul! Welcome Caller sounds like a cute story. I hope you enjoy all the books!
Ooooh I really like the cover to your guys version of The Diviners! So not fair how you get all the best books and these gorgeous covers! ;) I'm surprisingly really enjoying this one, so can't wait to see how you get on with it! Hope you enjoy all the rest of your books too! :)
Oooooh, Mandee! EPIC haul this week! I LOVED The Diviners, and I hope you do, toooo! And Welcome, Caller, this is Chloe? It sounds EPIC! ♥
Ooh curious what you'll think of The Diviners! I've seen everyone love it but I think it's okay so far, I'm about 200 pages in. Welcome, Caller looks super qt!
Looks like you got some great books Mandee. I also received a copy of After Moonrise, probably not something i'd have picked up either but i'll give it a go!
You are lucky to have gotten a copy of Reached. I'm jealous.
The Diviners was sooo good. Yeah the slang is a little excessive but it really didn't hinder my reading experience at all and you should not worry about the size. It goes really quickly. Trust me!
Welcome Caller This is Chloe was...okay. I liked it but with some reservations. I am interested to see what you think of it.
Enjoy!
Good choice with Welcome Caller!!! Such a great great book.
Hope you had a fab weekend.
THE DIVINERS! I still need to read this. Also, I just fell in love with your accent. Can we trade?
Oh wow! I wasn't expecting Reached to be so huge. o.O
I've been trying to put a hold on it at the library for weeks, but I think their system is overloaded from the number of people requesting this one.
I haven't seen the Aussie cover for The Diviners before! I like it a lot! The black and gold are great.
Interesting cover for The Diviners, I like it. That is quite the read. I am torn about Reached. I loved Matched but hated Crossed but I really want to see how it all ends. Please hurry and read and review it! Have a great week!
i love your vlogs, mandee. you are so natural :)
i have shine light as well ~ have to refresh myself on the series
x Nomes
OOo another pussy cat! I could here her purring:)
YEs how big is The Diviners!!! It's a brick , bigger than a brick. Sarah loved it so I am hoping I will too. Night Creatures I have book 1 and 2 here on my shelf but not rad them. So I must. I think she lives in Brisbane????? I must check that out.
Enjoy your books and your pussy cats:) Our little bubba albino guniea piggy is no longer, Miss Rosie after 4yrs 10 months departed to piggy heaven. Now I am down to one animal. Hubby looked at me and said, no to a pussy cat or two....I may have to work on him:)

Like nearly all of your other commenters, I'm squealing over REACHED too! I'm so excited for that one.
I did not see that covers for 'Diviners' before. I like it more than the more popular one. Great haul.
Oh, and I like your blog (cat lover also here). :)
