First of all, sorry I haven't been able to visit and leave comments on some of my Qwertwins (You can find these blogs at the bottom of my blog sidebar ^_^). My life is currently in the autopilot mode due to the fast-approaching exams. Keeping things posted on this blog is hard enough for me nowadays. But fret not, after 13th Nov I'll be freeeeeeee and I'm going for a reading rampage! Haha. Anyway, I didn't do this meme last week because I got nothing to show off LOL! But this week, somehow so many review copies are made available!
Bought
Speechless by Hannah Harrington
I think this year is a rejuvenation year for contemporary YA books. And this is one of those books which made a huge splash. I believe if a contemporary book can gain such hype among the surplus of YA paranormal books, then this book must be extremely good. :)Review copies
That cover with that facial expression? I'd read this for the sake of that cover alone. But what's this, 5-stars review after 5-stars review on GR? I think Pantomine will be HUGE!
The Mad Scientist’s Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke
You know I'd read anything by Cassandra Rose Clarke. But I'm a little worried to be honest because this book is not a YA book. I feel like a Harry Potter fan, trying to read The Casual Vacancy here.
First Frost by Liz DeJesus
Wool by Hugh Howey
Another self-pub author secured a book deal with a major publishing company!
Currently reading this. For those who are not familiar with Christine's books, do check them out if you like melodramatic reads. :)
Thank you so much Strange Chemistry, Musa Publishing, Random House Australia, John Barlow and Christine Fonseca.
Exiled (The Protector, #1) by M.R. Merrick
I think M.R. Merrick is one of the most popular indie authors out there. I bet he must have a very good personality! I hope I can say the same for his books. :)
Mark of the Princess (The Kingdom Chronicles #1) by B.C. Morin
Been seeing a lot of positive reviews for this one too.
Iron's Prophecy (The Iron Fey #4.5) by Julie Kagawa
Aaaah!! Why the blurb has to be so spoilery!!! I haven't read the entire series, you know. :(
Iron's Prophecy (The Iron Fey #4.5) by Julie Kagawa
Aaaah!! Why the blurb has to be so spoilery!!! I haven't read the entire series, you know. :(
I won all these from Christine Fonseca's Transcend Release Blitz giveaway.
p/s: I read Lacrimosa just because I felt indebted to her.So if you want me to read your books, gimme free stuff. Tee hee

Oh you got Speechless!! :D I loved that book! I hope you like it as much as I did!
Pantomime & The Mad Scientist's Daughter look so good. I'm adding these to my TBR!
And I seriously need to start reading The Iron Fey books! They seem to be so popular, and I'm so behind :(
Oh and don't worry, I'm pretty sure you'll receive the His Black Wings swag pack soon :)

I didn't request The Mad Scientist's Daughter even though I loved her YA read. I think I'll wait to see what everyone thinks of it. So excited to see Pantomime made your pile too! I love the sound of that book and can't wait to read it myself. :)
I LOVED SPEECHLESS. SO. MUCH. I've heard fabulous things about Mr. Merrick's books too, I hope to get to them soon! Happy reading and thanks for stopping by A Reading Daydreamer!
@ Hira: Haha. Don't worry. I'm still at book no 1.5 of The Iron Fey series. I keep getting distracted by other books.
@ Sam: I see. Hopefully I get around reading The Mad Scientist's Daughter soon so that I can tell you what I think about it. :)
@ Jen: Whoaa~~ It's good to know that so many people love Speechless. I don't buy books very often so I hope I made the right choice this time. :)
I agree, there are lots of awesome YA contemporaries being released this year - I hope you'll enjoy Speechless!
Have a great time reading all the fabulous books :)
Yay for YA contemporaries! I hope there will be more awesome YA contemporaries coming out next year!
Ooh, I loved Speechless! I hope you like it, Zuleeza! This also reminds me that I need to buy myself a copy of Iron's Prophecy. I completely forgot that it was released! Oops. Thanks for stopping by my blog, Zuleeza! Enjoy your books!

Hi! I welcome comments and feedback! But because I suck at HTML code, I don't know how to add reply button to each comment (I tried googled it but I think this template doesn't allow such change), so I will be very lousy at keeping track of the comments but it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate your comments! ^_^
