New arrivals at Casa Reading Date:
For Review:
The Darkest Minds and Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken – From Big Honcho Media. I’ve heard good things about this series, and now I get to read books one and two back-to-back.
Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple – From Hachette. I think this book is pretty new to paperback, and it sounds very cute.
Dare Me by Megan Abbott – From Hachette. Also new to paperback, this is a mystery about a cheerleader’s suicide.
Library books – picked up for Cybils:
17 & Gone by Nova Ren Suma – A girl has visions of missing 17-year-old girls and fears she might be next.

One & Only by Liv Daniels – source: author. Viv Daniels is Diana Peterfreund’s pen name and this New Adult book sounds fabulous.
What exciting new books did you pick up this week?
Oooh, great haul! The Darkest Minds was AWESOME, I have a copy of Never Fade to review, too, and can’t wait to read it! Crash & Burn is also really good and I want to read 17 & Gone someday! Enjoy your books!
Great haul. I read good reviews about Where’d You Go Bernadette. Enjoy your new books!
Where’d You Go, Bernadette and Dare Me are very different but they’re both so good!
Great collection of books…hope you enjoy them all. Where’d You Go, Bernadette was a fun read. Hope you like it. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I keep seeing How To Lead A Life Of Crime at Work. It looks interesting. Hope it is! Enjoy your books, Lucy!
I enjoyed “Bernadette”. Have a great week!
Wow it seems like a lot of authors have New Adult or Romance pen names these days. I would totally read that Viv Daniels book though. I’ve almost gotten 17 & Gone a few times, too. Kidnapping stories always freak me out though.
Lots of good books this week, Lucy. Happy reading!
Ooh Bernadette! Such a riot! I hope you like it 🙂
It looks like you have a fantastic haul of books this week. They all look really interesting. I heard parts of Where’d You Go Bernadette on BBC Radio 4 a while back (June 2012, according to the website) and it was a really fun play, so I hope the book is just as good. I hope you enjoy your books, and that you have a good week.
Looks like a great week mailbox wise and library wise.
ENJOY!!!!

Where’d You Go Bernadette was really fun and heartwarming with a touch of originality; I hope you’ll enjoy it too! And I am SO looking forward to your review of One & Only! I discovered this week that Liv Daniels is Diana Peterfreund and since i enjoyed her Secret Society and Unicorn series (I still have to read her most recent one though!), I am really looking forward to this one. Enjoy your new books! 🙂
