First stop, Perception by Kim Harrington
This hotly anticipated sequel to CLARITY delivers another dark, paranormal mystery.
When you can see things others can't, what do you do when someone's watching you?
Everybody knows about Clarity "Clare" Fern. She's the psychic girl in school, the one who can place her hands on something and see hidden visions from the past.
Only Clare would rather not be a celebrity. She prefers hanging back, observing. Her gift is not a game to her.
But then someone starts playing with her head . . . and heart. Messages and gifts from a secret admirer crop up everywhere Clare turns. Could they be from Gabriel, the gorgeous boy who gets Clare's pulse racing? Or from Justin, Clare's hopeful ex-boyfriend who'd do anything to win her back?
One thing is certain. Clare needs to solve this mystery, and soon. Because the messages are becoming sinister, and a girl in town has suddenly disappeared.

Then, an invisible archer in the Library of Antiquities decides to use me for target practice. And now, I find out that someone at the academy is really a Reaper bad guy who wants me dead.

Swept up in a volatile mix of revolutionaries and counterinsurgents, Lena struggles to survive—and wonders if she may be falling in love again.
Full of danger, forbidden romance, and exquisite writing, Lauren Oliver’s sequel to Delirium races forward at a breathtaking pace and is sure to appeal to fans who crave the high-stakes action of The Hunger Games and the bittersweet love story of Romeo & Juliet.

Pandemonium and The Calling are by far my favorites! Am I the only one to think the model on The Calling looks a lot like Jessica Alba?
Which one’s you favorite?
If you’ve read my post from last week, you know I’m looking for a new reviewer, I was hoping to find someone in my area who could pick books from my bookshelves, and even though I’m still interested (see details here if you are from Montreal), I will widen my options.
Because shipping from Canada is so expensive, and I honestly don’t want my books to go back and forth in the mail, lending my books won’t be an option. BUT, if you are an avid reader who can’t put the time investment a blog means, and would love to review books. Here’s your chance!
If you choose to review for me, I won’t be sending you any books, you’ll have to review your own books, but you’ll be able to use my blog as a platform! Also, I have a lot of review request I am turning down right now, so if any of those books interest you, I could have them sent directly to you, and you can obviously keep those books, you could also request books from NetGalley =)
My criteria:
I might have forgotten something, so feel free to contact me with any questions you might have =)
