Ali's Week at A Glance and Showcase Sunday!

Alright, so this is my Week at a Glance and Showcase Sunday post for this week.  I haven't done one of these in a while but I really want to get back in the habit of posting a couple of these types a posts on the blog.  So here we go! 

THIS WEEK ON ALI'S BOOKSHELF

So this week I have been major sick with the flu, like a lot of people in my area but I did start Team Vampire by  Justine Larbalestier, Sarah Rees Brennan and I'm half way through it.  Should be able to review it hopefully next week.

Waiting on Wednesday #26

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I usually don't do these posts but there are a lot of books coming out soon that I'm dying to read and share with you all so I figured why not post one of them today! 

Road Tripping

Review: Kiss of Death by Rachel Caine

In a Glance: Road tripping, with a typically Morganville twist

Title: Kiss of Death

Author: Rachel Caine

Publisher: Allison and Busby

Format: My own tatty paperback

Pages: 348 pages

ISBN #: 9780749007843

 

Caine's back with a bang after the lacklustre performance as our favourite Morganville residents go on a road trip with a twist to Dallas. Of course, this being Morganville, things don't go exactly to plan, especially when Oliver escorts them and insists on a series of short stops that result in disaster and near death experiences for all involved. When they stumble upon the little town of Blacke, it appears there's a minor mystery to be solved as well. Put quite simply, it appears that wherever the Glass House residents go, death, danger and wanton destruction follows right behind them.

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where she spotlights upcoming releases.

 

I haven't shared a Waiting on Wednesday in a long time, but I thought this book would be a great way to start off this feature once again.   

This Time it’s the Human’s Causing Trouble

Review: Fade Out by Rachel Caine

In a Glance: This time it’s the human’s causing trouble, will there ever be a normal week in Morganville?

Title: Fade Out
Author: Rachel Caine  
Publisher: Allison and Busby

Format: My own paperback

Pages: 345 Pages

ISBN #: 978-0-7490-0749-2

Morganville is pretty normal in this visit for a change as it's human drama, rather than vampire drama that dominates. Eve's been cast in the town play, alongside Oliver and an annoying new character called Kim who instantly rubs Claire up the wrong way. Events continue to unfurl and in time it's clear that Kim's little video project is not all it's cracked up to be, in fact, it's a lot more! Throw in a crazy vampire computer out for revenge and it is, on balance, a pretty normal few weeks in Morganville.
