For
review:
Unspeakable, Abbie
Rushton (e-proof)
Megan
doesn’t speak. She hasn’t spoken in months.
Pushing
away the people she cares about is just a small price to pay. Because there are
things locked inside Megan’s head – things that are screaming to be heard –
that she cannot, must
not, let out.
Then
jasmine starts at school: bubbly, beautiful, talkative Jasmine.
And for reasons Megan can’t quite understand. Life starts to look a bit
brighter.
Megan
would love to speak again, and it seems like Jasmine might be the answer. But
if she finds her voice, will she lose everything else?
This sounds incredible. It’s
not out until next February though so don’t expect to see much about it for a
while yet! Thanks Atom and NetGalley!
Unmade, Sarah
Rees Brennan (paperback)
All’s
fair in love and magic.
Kami
has lost the boy she loves, is tied to a boy she does not, and faces an enemy
more powerful than ever before. With Jared missing and presumed dead, Kami must
rely on her new magical link with Ash for the strength to face the evil
spreading through her town.
Rob
Lynburn is now the master of Sorry-in-the-Vale, and he demands a death. Kami must
use every tool at her disposal to stop him. Together with Rusty, Angela, and
Holly, she uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town. But with
knowledge comes responsibility – and a painful choice. A choice that will risk
not only Kami’s life, but also the lives of those she loves most.
It’s here!! I am crazy excited,
but also fearful. SRB is known for breaking her readers’ hearts... Thanks

Opal Plumstead, Jacqueline
Wilson (bound manuscript)
Opal
Plumstead might be plain , but she has always been fiercely intelligent. Yet her
scholarship and dreams of university are snatched away when her father is sent
to prison, and fourteen-year-old Opal must start work at the Fairy Glen sweet
factory to support her family.
Opal
struggles to get along with the other workers, who think her snobby and
stuck-up. But Opal idolises Mrs Roberts, the factory’s beautiful, dignified
owner, who introduces Opal to the legendary Mrs Pankhurst and her fellow
Suffragettes. And when Opal meets Morgan – Mrs Roberts’ handsome son , and heir
to Fairy Glen – she believes she has found her soulmate. But the First World
War is about the begin, and will change Opal’s life forever.
The
brilliantly gripping new story from the bestselling, award-winning Jacqueline
Wilson.
What a lovely surprise from
RHCP! I adored JW when I was growing up so I definitely plan on reading her 100th
(!!) book, even if it is in an awkward manuscript binding...
Bought:
The Vacationers, Emma
Straub (e-book)
Two
weeks in a remote island villa with America’s most dysfunctional family – what
could possibly go wrong?
It
was set to be the family vacation of a lifetime.
From
Manhattan to Majorca, two weeks in a remote island villa, with the sort of
relaxation, culture and cuisine that only Europe can offer. At least, that was
Franny’s plan. She wasn’t counting on the extra baggage...
Warm,
wry and glowing with life, The
Vacationers is a glorious novel of
marriage, friendship, secrets, lies – and love.
This has had rave reviews this
summer so I snapped it up while it was on a Kindle bargain!
Superlatives: Biggest Flirts, Jennifer
Echols (paperback)
The
yearbook votes have been cast.
Senior
year is about to get interesting.
Tia
just wants to have fun. She’s worked hard to earn her reputation as the life of
the party, and she’s ready for a carefree senior year of hanging out with
friends and hooking up with cute boys. And her first order of business? New guy
Will. She’s can’t get enough of his Midwestern accent and laid-back swagger.
As
the sparks start to fly, Will wants to get serious. Tia’s seen how caring too
much has left her sisters heartbroken, and she isn’t interested in commitment.
But pushing Will away drives him into the arms of another girl. Tia tells
herself it’s no big deal...until the yearbook elections are announced. Getting
voted Biggest Flirt with Will is, well, awkward. They may be just friends, but
their chemistry is beginning to jeopardize Will’s new relationship – and
causing Tia to reconsider her true feelings. What started as a light-hearted
fling is about to get very complicated...
I really love Jennifer Echols
so it’s about time I bought this really!
