For Review:

The Kissing Game – Aidan Chambers

Prepare to be amazed, enchanted and to gasp with shock.

Delve into these Stories of Defiance – moments in life, realisations, insights and sudden revelations.

Absorb yourself in flash fictions – very short but complete stories that reveal, as in a flash of light, a moment of awkward truth in the life of their characters.

I love flash fiction so I’m really lokking forward to this. Thanks, RHCB!

A Million Suns – Beth Revis

Trapped on board the spaceship Godspeed, Amy trusts no one.

The ship’s ruler is dead and a rebellion threatens. Amy wants to help Elder as he tries to take charge, btu she’s torn between her feelings for him and the chaos that’s pulling everything apart. As more harrowing discoveries are made about Godspeed, Amy is caught in a desperate race to uncover its secrets. Only one thing is certain.

They have to get off this ship.

I loved Across the Universe so I’m looking forward to this. I do wish the covers hadn’t been changed though – they were so beautiful, and now, this. Thanks, Razorbill.

Truth or Dare: You’re invited to a Creepover... – PJ Night

Go to sleep, if you dare, because you’re invited to a Creepover!

During a round of Truth or Dare, Abby Miller confesses her crush on Jake Chilson. The only people who know her secret are her friends at the sleepover – and whoever sent her a text message in the middle of the night warning her to stay away from Jake...or else!

But Abby isn;t going to stay away from Jake, especially not after he asks her to the school dance.

As the night of the dance comes closer, some very creepy things start happening to Abby. Is it a jealous classmate or could it be a ghost?

This sounds very cute and fun. Thanks, Atom!

One of my favourite series’ EVER is being re-covered again at the end of the month. The only thing I’m not too keen on is the Hunger Games-related tagline – it slightly annoys me for some reason... Thanks, S&S!
