Haul from the Hummingbird (#4)!

Hi everybody! You may have noticed that I didn't do this feature last week, so this post is a wrap-up of books I've received the past two weeks. I haven't posted much lately, but you can expect things to get back to normal soon! Exams are finally over! *insert breathless shriek here* Talking about excessive happiness! :)

Since I love rewarding myself to the point of spoiling, I decided to get many some books for my Summer read!

(clicking on the picture would bring you to the Goodreads page) 



ENORMOUS thanks to Harper Collins, Tribute books, Harlequin Teen, and Abrams! :)

I'm so excited to read What's Left of Me! I've been wanting the book ever since I saw the cover, so I'm very glad to have the chance to read it! I heard that Pushing the Limits is a touching and lovely story, so I can't wait to dive into! I'm in the mood for historical YA lately. My first thought when I read the blurb of A Soldier's Secret: Mulan, anyone? Shadow and Bone, oh-em-gee! Finally.

I received The Color of Snow for the book tour. Lovely cover! Darkness Before Dawn looks so good! I love the cover of Beauty, so I just know that I have to buy it! I was a bit hesitant to pick Arise, but I have to know what happen to Amelia and Joshua.

I love the dark tone in Elizabeth Scott's books. Living Dead Girl is my favorite book by her, but I hope Miracle could be my new favorite. I read Easy two weeks ago and fell in love with the story. It's so good and I'd recommend it to anyone! I have a thing for fairytale, so Enchanted is an instant-buy. Good Oil looks really good! I love Australian author!

I hope everyone had a great week with books too! Looking forward to see what everyone else got! Happy Sunday lovely people! :)

  2. I saw another blogger mention The Colour of Snow last week, and thought it sounded like a great read, so I hope you enjoy it, as well as your other books! I haven't heard of Beauty until now, but I just read the synposis and it sounds very intriguing, I'll look forward to your review. :) Happy reading!

    And you have an AMAZING hummingbird haul this week too, Hilda! Pushing the Limits, Shadow and Bone (!!), Darkness Before Dawn, Enchanted, Arise... They're all books that I've either already read & loved or books that I'm so pumped up to read! Either way, I can't wait to read all your reviews! :) <3

  24. What a stack of AWESOME. I'm tempted to share my thoughts on so many of them but it's time I go sleep. Have to go to work tomorrow. So I'll just say: I can't WAIT to read Easy! It's got great reviews and I love that it's set in college! And GOOD OIL is amaazing. I loved it. I love books by Australian authors in general but this one is extra special x) Have a great week and an awesome summer ahead, Hilda!!
