July 2014 Book Haul

I got some pretty great books this month! A big thank you to Macmillan for sending the middle stack of books that I received as a thank you for being part of their Spring 2014 Fierce Reads Street Team (Go Team Alice!). As you can see I have duplicates of both Sekret by Lindsay Smith and The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu. That's because I was lucky to meet both of them at author events in my area this past month. Both author's were positively lovely and the amazing part was that they recognized me from Twitter and Tumblr. I also received Brutal Youth by Anthony Breznican from St. Martin's Press in exchange for an honest review. I'll be reading it soon and posting my thoughts on it as soon as I do. I purchased both Extraction by Stephanie Diaz and Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens, the former being one of my most anticipated books of the month and the latter being one of the best books I've read this year. Both were books that I knew I wanted to add to my permanent collection.
