I had a FANTASTIC week. An enormous thanks to Harper Collins Australia, Allen & Unwin, and Harlequin TEEN Australia. I haven't had a mailbox (even last week's terrifyingly enormous one) I've been this excited about in a while... it goes to say it's quality, not quantity, right? Then again... it's not like this is low on quantity.
Given they're all kind of thick books this week, I'm not quite sure you can see it, but The Immortal Rules is THICK. 451 pages. I am SO excited to read it. And Storm! Oh my goodness, Storm. I've been hanging out to read Storm since reading Brodie's review a couple of months ago. Brodie has a knack for writing reviews that get me ridiculously excited for books, and she was on the money once again. Storm was AMAZING. Next up, Insurgent! Oh my goodness, you guys. I am so excited for this one. You? Yes?
From top to bottom:

Can I just say how much I love your IMM pictures? They're so gorgeous. Do you use a special camera or photoediting software of some sort? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteINSURGENT. <3 <3 <3 Have you read it yet? I can't remember...but I don't think you have? GOSH. Can't wait for you to rip into it. <3 I can't wait for my copy to arrive when it comes out. EEEEK!
OH LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD. THE HOTNESS IN THAT PILE. TWO COPIES OF STORM. THAT'S...*counts*....FIVE HOT BOYS. EIGHT BROTHERS. ALL IN ONE COLUMN OF BOOKS. FAAAAAAAAAARK. Not to mention Four...oh my god. o___o *trembles*
THE IMMORTAL RULES! Preordered my copy as well...but can't get it until birthday. >< OH WELL! So psyched to read it! Should I read The Iron Fey series first though?
UNRAVELLINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG HEARD NOTHING BUT RAVING THINGS ABOUT THAT ONE! EVERYONE SAYS THAT IT IS FABULOUS! <3 EEEK. Can't wait for you to read it! I can't wait to read it! FDASFHSOAUH. I also really like that cover. <3 I like both covers to be honest. EEEEEK.

*drools* *Also, love pats your shiny pretties* :D Such a fantastic set of books!!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many amazing books!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Divergent so I can't say much about Insurgent, but I'm seeing everyone excited about this one lately. I read Allegiance's first part, Legacy, but it wasn't for me so I don't think I'll be reading the second :(
The Immortal Rules! I've already read it, but... the physical copy looks so stunningly pretty I can't wait for it to come out. And then, Unraveling! I've heard many great things about this book. I'm really excited to read it.
Have a great week and happy reading!
My IMM
Awesome books again, Saz! I am so looking forward to Unravelling!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you're gonna have to take a month off work to read and review all the books you've received in the last 3 weeks! P-M xoxo
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! :D
DeleteEeeek! Fingers are tightly crossed that Insurgent and Unraveling arrive tomorrow! *squeals* So happy you've finally got your hands on Storm and Allegiance! Enjoy both!! But remember, the twins are mine….. TIR looks scary. I'm sure I own a few thick books like that but eeeek! Hopefully it's yummy and we can just fly through it ;) Awesome mailbox!!

ReplyDeleteAwwwww! *glomps you* My review honestly doesn't do the book justice, I was too ADHSFLDIJFDJKX with excitement to write it properly. But OMG I am so excited for yours! Your reviews are always so effing amazing and I KNOW you will give it the praise it so deserves.
ReplyDeleteActually, Insurgent is thicker than The Immortal Rules. 525 pages, I think? 525 GODDAMN BRILLIANT PAGES. I so hope you enjoy it *bites nails* And eeeeeeeeee!

I'm really looking forward to INSURGENT and sTORM! I just received an e-ARC of SPARK, but need to read GLOW first! I read ALLEGIANCE recently and will be interested in seeing your thoughts! Oh, I have to read UNRAVELLING as well!
ReplyDeleteThe Immortal Rules and Storm (x2)!? So Jealous! Looks like you'll be having a good reading week.

This is Insurgent there.
ReplyDelete"Why are you looking like this?" they asked.
"Why are your hands trembling like this?" they asked.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THIS KNIFE?" they asked.

Oh my freakin god you got Insurgent.. Make sure you think of me when you read it !!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I'm sooo jealous of your IMM! Unraveling was amazing! I can't wait for you to read it! FAB IMM! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteASDF;JKASKDLFJIO7UZOMG. NO. EFFING. WAY. You already have INSURGENT?!?!? You and Brodie are KILLING ME. Seriously, stabbing me to death with anticipation because you guys both have these books.
ReplyDeleteStorm and Temptation are BIGGIES for me. I want to read them both at some point, as well as Glow.
Oh, man, SARAH, enjoy your books, yo!
*CACKLES* YESSSS! AND IT WAS SO GOOD.
DeleteOh, Brodie and I won't stab you to death only with anticipation... but, I don't know about Brodie, but I'll only stab you if you try to run away. *clutches* *hugs*
SARAHHHH Looks like we got the EXACT same books the week...except for Glow and Insurgent :( (WHERE THE HELL IS MY COPY!?!? I bet the postie stole it! GRRRRRRRR) I really hope you enjoy Glow! It was one of those "average" reads for me ( too many physics terms-totally did my head in!)
ReplyDeleteENJOYYYY <3333
OMG! You got the same books, but I don't have INSURGENT and UNRAVELING. I'm super envious right now! I feel so left out. :( All of you guys got Insurgent, while I have to wait for my fricken pre-order. I'm sure I've gone over this like 5+ times in the last couple of days, whether it be on Goodreads, Twitter or just IMM posts like yours. GAH!
ReplyDeleteAwww, it bears going over... and over... AND OVER AND OVER. Have you got your pre-order yet??
DeleteYou have Unravelling? UNRAVELLING? *coughs* Unravelling! Unravelling!! You have Unravelling! Um...WANT! Unravelling, Unravelling, Unravelling!
ReplyDeleteI SO want a finished Aussie copy of Storm! *adds to wishlist*
<33
I KNOOOOOOW! I feel so lucky... I won it in a HC Facebook comp :D
DeleteI'm SOOO excited to read it! I'm hearing such delicious things... did you ever see the TV show Fringe? It's reminding me of that.
Also: I love your crazy :D
