Vlog:
Mentioned:
For review I received two books: This All Could End by Steph Bowe and Hidden (Avena #1) by Marianne Curley - both are Aussie YA!
Estelle and I did a book swap and she sent me an amazing parcel including I Could Pee on This: and Other Poems by Cats by Franciso Marciuliano, an ARC of The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life by Tara Altebrando, Don't Let Me Go and Where You Are both by J.H Trumble, and Not Exactly A Love Story by Audrey Couloumbis - thank you, E!

The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life is so much fun, so I can't wait to see what you think of it. Also, I read an amazing review of Don't Let Me Go recently and have wanted to read it for awhile now, so I hope you enjoy that one too, Mandee. Hidden by Marianne Curley looks SO GOOD! I read Old Magic by Marianne Curley awhile back and just LOVED it. It's one of my favorites and I'm hoping to get approved for it on NetGalley so I hope it's good! *fingers crossed* Also, Australia Day sounds like so much fun, Mandee! I hope you have a good time and at least get to relax and read some good books. :)
I hope I have All This Could End when I get home. Text hasn't sent me many, the only being back with Shadows so I hope there's a change. I haven't read Steph's first book as I've seen mixed reviews but this one should be bettrr I hope.
I need to get onto JH Trumble's books. Brigid Kemmerer and Sarah say non-stop good things about them and it makes it like I'm missing out on pure amazingness.
Enjoy all these new reads :)
Awesome haul this week! I've got to read The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life - sounds really good! Thanks for the link to Michelle's Zoetrope shop last week! I got some prints and a Valentine's Day card in the mail from them today! Hope you love you new reads & nail polish! <3
-heather
Ohh, I'm intrigued by Not Exactly a Love Story! I also received Hidden for review, but unfortunately I couldn't really get into it.
Enjoy your books! ^^
Not Exactly a Love Story has been on my Wishlist for a while, and it looks really good. I'm intrigued by The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life - sounds interesting!
I hope you enjoy every one of your new books, Mandee. I'll be keeping a look out for your reviews of them all! I also hope that your nail polish is vegan! :D
Great haul, enjoy : )
my Book haul and international giveaway
I haven't heard of any of these books but I'm sure that they'll be amazing! The covers are all so pretty! Happy reading!
IA wonderful haul Mandee! I really want to read The Best Night of your (Pathetic) Life and I got All This Could End & Hidden as well, they sound great!
Happy reading :)
So many cool books and fun things this week! I'd be digging right into the nail polish. Have u found out about the vegan thing yet? You made me think about my products, if they are vegan or not.
Have a great week & I will be checking back for reviews soon!
All this could end sounds great, and first I have heard of it. Looking up now.
Happy reading,
Brandi @ Blkosiner’s Book Blog
I can't wait to see your review on "I could pee on everything". It looks like it will be a hilarious read.
I read Marianne Curley's Guardian of Time series years ago. I didn't know she had a new book, I'll have to check it out.
Love your nail polish!! I had to say it :D
All This Could End sounds really good, I like the cover.
And the nail polish you got was really pretty too! Also, I saw Not Exactly a Love Story in NG before and I was close to requesting it but I was in the whole "I shall not request!" Thing (which lasted all of 3 weeks :P
It sounds good but yeah, not many reviews of it out there, I don't think I've seen one actually.
Happy Australia Day!! It's one of my favorite countries that I've never visited - the other being Canada :P -
Ooh Hidden! I need to look into when that's hitting the States. I loved Old Magic and her Guardians of Time series so much. Look forward to your review. Happy reading :-)
Oooo!! All This Could End?? I can't wait to hear what you think about that!!
-Jac @ For Love and Books
I wasn't a big fan of Steph Bowe's first novel but I might consider reading her second one. Happy reading!
I'm looking forward to what you think of Hidden; I don't have the best luck with angel books, either, though I do love the Unearthly series. I'll definitely read Paula Weston's Shadows when it's published here in the US later in the year. I hope you enjoy all of your books, Mandee!
I didn't know Steph Bowe (Hey! Teenager of the Year) was a published author! How awesome is that? Look at me learning new stuff every day!
Looks like you got some great books this week!
Happy Reading!

Really lovely books this week. I didn't know Steph Bowe was coming out with another book. Pretty exciting. Great stuff this week, I hope you'll be able to use the nail polish it looks neat! Happy Reading!
All This Could End sounds lovely and I love that cover! Not Exactly A Love Story sounds cute and after reading Estelle's review of it, I'm looking forward to it. I love contemporary set in the past. I'm definitely interested in reading Don't Let Me Go after Sarah's (Saz101) raving review. I really must acquire a copy and soon!
Enjoy!
YAYY! Aussie books<3 I haven't heard of either of them, but the blurbs sound amazing<3 Hope you enjoyyyy!
Happy Reading :)

Great set! I love the cover for All This Could End. I need to read more Aussie YA.
My Bookish Recap
Oooh very interested to see your review for All This Could End! I read Steph's debut novel a few years ago, so I'm curious to see what she's up to now. I usually like angels, but I kind of need something NEW to reignate the passion again (I'm going to read Angelfall next, which I think could do just that), so I really hope it turns out to be good.
I've been hearing AMAZING things about Don't Let Me Go from Sarah and Brigid Kemmerer. Considering they both have incredible taste, I think I must read this soon :D Awesome haul, have fun reading!
Oh Hidden is by an Aussie author? I didn't know that! I received a proof copy from the UK publisher and I'll probably read it in a few weeks. It sounds pretty good. :)
Glad to see Molly make an appearance this week! She is adorable. :)
Oooh, I see Aussie books which is why I hadn't heard of the first couple.
Looks like a great haul otherwise, although I actually haven't heard of the other titles either... haha.
Nail Polish isn't Vegan? Something I didn't know... Is it crushed beetles or something then?
The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life and Not Exactly a Love Story both sound excellent, I hope you enjoy them (and I imagine a book manicure based on The Best Night... would look pretty awesome, I love the cover!). Hope you enjoyed your long weekend, and Happy (belated) Australia Day - I was flicking through the music channels on our cable on Friday night, and they were celebrating with a whole evening dedicated to Kylie & Jason. Of course. :)
Wow, great haul! I love your blog, too. I'm a new follower.
Happy reading!

Those nail polishes are cute. I did not even know nail polish could be vegan though.
Anyways.
Happy reading!
Molly is so cute. I love all your cats, but her markings are my favorite and I love when he is in the videos!
I love how you get all these awesome book packages from other bloggers. I look forward to watching you r videos to see the fun. You're the only vlogger I think I watch consistently.
I'm not sure any of these books are for me (I guess it would depend on how much you liked them!) but I am certainly looking forward to seeing the book manicures you do! I really love those posts!
Hidden and All This Could End sound utterly fabulous! The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life seems really intriguing and I'm curious about Not Exactly a Love Story.
Thanks for sharing, and hope you enjoy!
Yay!!! I'm so glad that you loved the package. I had so much fun putting it together for you! Also, I saw the Cat Poem book on a publishing blog before Christmas and I couldn't believe how funny it was. I bought one for another cat friend in my life and we read through it on new years and shared some laughs.
I can't wait for you to read JH's books. I definitely think she needs more attention and I know with a great word from you, that will happen.
You look gorgeous and tan btw and I am so jealous. Hope you enjoyed your extra day off. xoxoxo
Love your nails! And new polish. Estelle is amazing. Hope you enjoy DON'T LET ME GO and WHERE YOU ARE.
Ooooh congrats on the sweet haul of books swag & goodies !!! How exciting :D I love the earrings, Disney Princess card & the cat book haha - thanks for sharing & enjoy!! Oh and thanks for stopping by :) Hope you had a nice holiday too.
PS-Hi Molly ♥
Oh I love the sound of All this Could End, I look forward to reading your review on it! Also a brilliant swap with Estelle, I've had my eye on The best night of your (pathetic) life, so I really hope you enjoy that and the rest of you books too! :)
Great haul, Mandee! Where You Are is very good, and I want to check out Don't Let me Go sometime.
I haven't used Urban Decay's nail polish but I do use their vegan makeup. Thanks for the heads up about the nail polish.
Enjoy all your new books and goodies!
Yayyyyy! I'm so glad you got E's package! She texted me pictures of things she was wanting to send you! Hopefully you figure out the situation with Urban Decay. :-/ That's so questionable. I hope you love the books! I haven't read J.H.'s books yet, but I did read Audrey's and I LOVED IT. I laughed out loud so much that my husband kept asking what I was laughing at. :) Enjoy! xo
Oh wow! What a great book haul, Mandee! I have Hidden for review & hope to start it really soon! I hope you enjoy all these pretties! :)
You have like the best in Aussie books and I love that. Hidden sounds like a book I'd enjoy and All This Could End sounds like realistic fiction which I love.
Great book haul! Love how you included the nail polish, too.
Sana @ artsy musings of a bibliophile
Ooohhhh Hidden! It was one of my WOWS! I am dying to read The Best Night of Your Pathetic Life. I love one night books! Happy reading!
I'm really excited for the new Steph Bowe. I was curious about her debut but was kind of put off at finding out she wrote it when she was 16.
Aww, awesome package! Leave it to Estelle to keep the Christmas spirit going. :) Who's not a nail polish fan?? Be gone! Great picks.
-Maggie
The books E sent you all sound wonderful! I've only read The Best Night of Your Pathetic Life - and I really loved that one :)
Hmm, I've never heard of J.H. Trumble. Am I missing out? Will wait for your reviews on that. I had no idea about that Urban Decay controversy. This might be having something to do with me having no clue about the nail polish world:) I had a secret santa I had to buy a present for this year and she LOVES doing nail art and has a blog for it so I bought her a bunch of that stuff. I had no idea a lot of it even existed! Anyway, loved the vlog as usual, M<3
