Weekly Roundup #14

So...not too much has actually been happening for me. Aside from the fact that I have to read My Name is Mina and Everybody Jam by next Tuesday. And I don’t have a copy of Everybody Jam. Yay!

             Here’s what I got!

• For review,
• From Hachette-Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. I’m so excited to read this one. But I have so much other stuff...
• From Harpercollins-Insurgent by Veronica Roth. It was so so good....
• From the library
• Gorgeous by Rachel Vail
• Mice by Gordon Reece
• Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter
• The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett (nice, but no plot)
• My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel (also nice but with no plot. Not in photo because it had to go back to the library asap)
• Two copies of My Name is Mina by David Almond
• The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty from Laura/Sister Spooky


Here’s what’s going on around the book-y world!
• Kristi, aka The Story Siren has been accused of plagiarism. And there’s been a huge storm about it all, and there’s been an apology from her. See here and here, and make up your own mind.
• The Queen of Teen shortlist has been announced. And for the first time, a male author has been put up! Congrats to James Dawson, whose book I loved in extreme proportions. I’m definitely voting for him. Go vote for whoever you think should win. But if you can't decide, vote for James!
• Disney bought the rights to The Graveyard Book (Neil Gaiman). I really should re-read that. I didn't enjoy it for Carnegie, and then it won. So... Anyway, I'll definitely see the film.
  
            Here’s what’s going on at Death Books and Tea
• Nothing to report! Aside from the fact that of all the books I could read for the Clear your TBR challenge I signed up for, I’ve not read a single one. I have eight months, right?
