For review:
Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan – Excited to read this one! Two boys set out to break a record in a 32 hour kissing marathon, and the book is narrated by gay men who lost their lives to AIDS.
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson – First book in the Reckoners trilogy about superhero types called Epics, and the vigilante humans called Reckoners who hunt them.
Smoke by Ellen Hopkins – The long-awaited sequel to Burned.
White Trash Beautiful by Teresa Mummert – A self-published success now getting an extended edition release from Gallery books. It’s about a girl who has a rough life and falls for a rock musician.
Clockwork Princess audiobook by Cassandra Clare – squee! Want to read/listen to it next? Enter my giveaway here.
Happy reading!
Steelheart sounds really interesting. Going to put it on my TBR list right now. I love things to do with super heroes. Two Boys Kissing also sounds like a really good story. I love David Levithan. I haven’t heard of White Trash Beautiful before. That’s cool that it is getting a larger release. I am def going to see what it’s about.
Awesome book haul this week, Lucy. Thanks for sharing!
I’m really excited for Two Boys Kissing! I adore David Levithan’s writing. If this is anything like Will Grayson Will Grayson I’m sure to enjoy it :). Happy Reading Lucy!
I just got Two Boys Kissing yesterday. I’m excited to read it!
Smoke!!! I’m afraid to find out what happens next.
Ooh, I want Two Boys Kissing and Burned – they’re both going on my wish list!
What a nice variety of books you’ve received recently! I think I’m most interested in the Brandon Sanderson novel. 😀
Thanks, Kelley! I guess this is Sanderson’s first YA. I haven’t read any of his books before.
I am really, really excited for Clockwork Princess, but at the same time I am terrified. I know how I want it to end, but I have no idea if that is what Clare has planned. I’m totally stressed 🙂
I’m listening to it now and feeling quite stressed! Taking my time for that very reason. Hope you enjoy it when you take the plunge!
A nice mix in your mailbox.

Oo, I’m dying to read the Levithan–and omg, Clockwork Princess! <3 That book broke my heart. Happy reading, Lucy!
Thanks! Your review of CP makes me very nervous. Hope my heart can stand it!
What a variety! I hope you enjoy them!
Here’s My Post
HOW DO YOU HAVE SMOKE BY ELLEN HOPKINS ALREADY?! I was told that it’s not coming out until September.
-Amanda.
Hi Amanda- Yup, Smoke is out in September. I received a review copy through Edelweiss.
Is it possible for me to do this as well?
Check email 🙂
I can’t tell you how much I want to read Steelheart! You better read and report quickly! haha! 😉 But more seriously, great haul again this week. I’ve been intrigued by Two Boys Kissing – it’s especially nice to have them kissing on the cover. We rarely see the kiss on the cover for non-hetero YA novels, I feel. Enjoy your new books! 🙂
