Second Chance by Katie Kacvinsky | Brooklyn Girls by Gemma Burgess | An Endless Summer by C.J Duggan | Red by Alison Cherry | How My Summer Went Up in Flames by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski
The last two weeks have been relatively quiet in terms of incoming books, but awesome nonetheless. I've had my eye on Endless Summer, Red and How My Summer went Up in Flames for sometime now, so was ecstatic to receive copies. And Brooklyn Girls had been receiving really favourable reveiws as of late from my blogging friends, that I couldn't hold back in requesting this one.
Over to Rachel and her goodies over the last two weeks.

Well, you can see I went little nuts with audio-books lately! Audible saw me coming and knows exactly how to tempt me. Throw a sale and a coupon at me and I’m hooked! I actually did get amazing deals for the books above. I logged into download a book and they said “hey, we haven’t seen you for a while here are some sale books for you.” That’s when I got Covet for $4.95. Then they sent me a coupon for $10 and an email with a bunch of audio books for $7.95. I bought three and then used my coupon so I ended up paying about $14 for the three! I’m so excited when I get a good deal. I keep trying to tell my husband how much money I’m saving by buying, unfortunately, my logic isn’t always apparent in his eyes! Go figure.
I’m so excited about my review copies, Drowning by Jessica Park who wrote Flat-Out Love, one of my all-time favorite geeky romances! Simone Elkeles wrote Perfect Chemistry, Leaving Paradise and Return to Paradise *swoon* has a new read coming out!! I hope I love Wild Cards as much. The Cutting Room Floor sounds really suspenseful and creepy, and I’m giddy in anticipation!
So once again we've had some great incoming books, if you posted a book haul of some sort, feel free to share a link with us in the comments and we'll be over as soon as we can to check it out!

BEYOND LOVE! Jasprit and Rachel, I want to read every single book on each of your lists! CanNOT wait for your reviews :)
Eep so Manu awesome books this week! Jasprit, I'm super excited for Brooklyn Girls and Red! I've heard some great things for How My Summer as well. :) Rachel, I got Wild Cards last week and I'm so excited! Obsession seems like another great read by Jennifer. I can't wait to see your reviews for all of these, happy reading! :)
Have heard good things about How My Summer. Hope you enjoy
Left Drowning looks good and I really want Wild Cards! Awesome haul this week :D
Happy reading :)
-Dannielle
So many amazing books! I can't wait to read Wild Cards. I'm just really getting into JR Ward's books, so I may try Covet once I read BDB. Second Chances and Red both look good too. Enjoy, ladies!
I'm really intrigued by How My Summer went Up in Flames for some reason (since I don't usually go for contemporary reads) but it looks too good to pass up.
I also have a copy of Covet but dangit if I've actually gotten around to reading it. Had plans to catch up on the Black Dagger Brotherhood series first but... I've only read the first one. lol
Happy Reading guys!
You got some good ones this week! Have fun reading and listening to them all!
My STS
WILD CARDS! *flails*
- Ellie at The Selkie Reads Stories
Oh yes Wild Cards! I can't wait to see some reviews for that one as I need some good summer book by Simone. It's been a while. Also Obsession as I love Lux series I must read that one asap. Great haul girls :)
Wild Cards and Red! EEP! I was declined because I wasn't a U.S citizen but I hope you two enjoy them! I'm eager to hear your thoughts.
Awesome haul and happy reading, Rachel and Jasprit! <33 My haul
Oh, pretty books. <3 Have not read any of them, but they looks awesome :D Enjoy them all ;) Happy reading. <3
How My Summer Went Up in Flames looks good, I've had my eye on that for a while! I haven't read any reviews of Brooklyn Girls yet, but I just clicked over to Goodreads and it looks awesome - looking forward to hearing what it's like!
I got How My Summer in the USA and read it on the plane home, it was good but I think I had hyped it up :)
Left Drowning sounds good too, today is the first I've heard of it :)
Red sounds very interesting :D Happy reading!
Haul from Mel@thedailyprophecy.
Such fabulous hauls, both of you! Jas, How My Summer Went Up in Flames sounds fantastic and I can't wait to read it on my Kindle! An Endless Summer and Brooklyn Girls seem really awesome too - enjoy! Racel, all your new books have such HOT covers :P Wild Cards has caught my attention and I'll be looking out for you review!
Thanks for sharing!
Great hauls ladies. Some great offers on the audio's Rachel. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of How my Summer went up in Flames Jasprit, I really want a copy of that one. It's next on my to buy list :)
Obsession sounds amazing. I can't wait to read it :)
My Showcase Sunday
Yay! Second Chances! I can't wait to hear what you think of it, Jasprit. I'm looking forward to Red too after that unique although a little strange premise. And yay for Endless Summer, it's Sean's turn now. Haha. Left Drowning and Wild Cards sounds fantastic too. Gotta go check those out. I also got my copy of Obsession but haven't started yet. Great haul Jasprit and Rachel. Hope you enjoy all these books. :)
Awesome haul! Brooklyn Girls sounds great, I have seen that one on a lot of blogs lately. I hope you enjoy all of your books. Happy reading! :)
You ladies both had fabulous book weeks! Super excited for Red and Wild Cards, both of those look AWESOME:) And I'm really excited your starting the J.R. Ward series. I adore her even if this series isn't as good as the Brothers (for me). You've read the BDB right? If not, you need to abandon Covet and start with Dark Lover!
You have some great titles - with amazing covers! I have seen around Red and How My Summer Went Hot In Flames, a lot lately!
I requested an egalley of Left Drowning just a couple of minutes ago and I am so happy you liked the author's previous works, that should mean I made a good choice!
Happy reading!

I have been hearing a lot of great things about Wild Cards and I love Jennifer Armentrout books! I read Obsidian recently and now I am hooked on the series!
This is what I got this week!
Wild Cards and Red looks good :) Hope you both enjoy your haul!!
-Ariella @ Secrets of Lost Words
I'm so curious to see how Brooklyn Girls turns out as a New Adult novel and as a fan of Julie James I hope you enjoy About That Night, though it isn't my favorite by her. Wonderful haul! :)
Lovin' the haul! I was curious about Brooklyn Girls but didnt want to request it till I was done with my existing haul. How my summer went up in flames has gotten great reviews everywhere and I am waiting to read Left Drowning. I loved Flat Out Love by Park and have high hopes for this one xD
Looks like lots of romance girls! haha.
Red looks interesting so I'm off to check that one out now.
Oooh, I bought Flat Out Love the other week for my kindle as it was a daily deal, so I'm more excited to read that one now. And Covet is great, Rachel. I simply adore J.R. Ward so I hope you enjoy that one too.
Fabulous haul! :) P.s. I fear I'll be running out of adjectives again soon! So sorry if I say fabulous too much! ;)
cant wait to hear what you think of brooklyn girls! i want to read it, but am trying to cut back on review commitments... so ;)
