The lovely Lynsey of Narratively Speaking set up a
Secret Santa especially for the UKYA book bloggers and of course I had to take
part!
About a week ago, I sent off my
package and then I received mine on Monday morning! Look at the beauties that I
got:
THE
BOOKS:
Wild Roses by
Deb Caletti
Here is something you need to know about me. I’m
not a Hallmark card, ooh ah romance, Valentine-y love kind of person...
When Cassie meets her stepfather’s latest protégé
she is irresistibly attracted to the boy on a bike with a dog called Rocket.
Ian Waters is a musical genius, like Cassie’s
stepfather, Dino Cavalli. He is talented, gorgeous and funny, and Cassie’s
starry-eyed and swept away. But she knows if Dino finds out the sky might as
well fall in...
A bittersweet, star-spangled, completely compelling
tale from the author of Honey, Baby, Sweetheart.
AND
Shatter
Me by Tahereh Mafi
I have a gift.
I’m more than human.
My touch is power.
I will fight back.
No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal, but The
Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette
has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she’s finally
discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time – and to find a
future with the one boy she thought she’d lost forever.
In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a
riveting dystopian world, a thrilling superhero story and an unforgettable
heroine.
THE EXTRAS:
Scrabble Fridge Magnets AKA testing my (limited) vocabulary
Paperchase Post-It Notes AKA going to be EVERYWHERE
Rose Heart Candle AKA *sniff* Aahhhh
A big
thank you to Sya who was my
Secret Santa and to Lynsey for taking on such a mammoth task with this!
