Usually this would be a thing about the things that happened since last Saturday. However, because this is the new year, I’m going back a little further.
I’m sure you can all cope 🙂

Books Released:

On the Internet

If you pre-order The Ruby Circle at Dymocks, you get a free copy of Masquerade, by Kylie Fornasier!!

Guys, you totally want to do this, Masquerade is an awesome book, which means that not only do you get a phone call when Ruby Circle comes out (who wouldn’t want that?) but you also get a TOTALLY AMAZING BOOK FOR FREE HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT THAT???

And if you still have doubts, here’s my review of Masquerade.

Book Review, Nick Lake, There Will Be Lies

Author: Nick Lake

Series: Standalone

Rating: 4 stars

Genre: Contemporary/Mystery (I think…correct me if I’m wrong)

Synopsis: In four hours, Shelby Jane Cooper will be struck by a car.

Shortly after, she and her mother will leave the hospital and set out on a winding journey toward the Grand Canyon.

All Shelby knows is that they’re running from dangers only her mother understands. And the further they travel, the more Shelby questions everything about her past—and her current reality. Forced to take advantage of the kindness of unsuspecting travelers, Shelby grapples with what’s real, what isn’t, and who she can trust . . . if anybody.

Award-winning author Nick Lake proves his skills as a master storyteller in this heart-pounding new novel. This emotionally charged thrill ride leads to a shocking ending that will have readers flipping back to the beginning

How I got this book: Netgalley

Book Release Date: January 6, 2015

The Short Version:

Well…that was weird.

I liked it. The beginning was really strange, but towards the end stuff started making sense and it was actually really good.

WARNING: THE LONG VERSION MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPLOILERS
