First off, I hope everyone had a happy Valentines' Day! Whether you spent it with your SO, your family and friends or curled up next to a good book, it doesn't matter as long as you were happy and content! I didn't even realize the books I got (well, the physical ones) were in varying shades of RED! That makes me really happy because red is my favourite colour :)

• Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins

This week I've stacked up on ebooks. I hope my old rickety tablet would be up for the job and allow me to read even while at uni. I don't think I could bring my laptop to just read books. I can barely keep my knees from buckling when I climb up 3 flights of stairs to get to my classes (medical side effect :c ) I hope I could review all of them! :)

Fine-Tuning Hanna - Tiina Walsh (author given, for review!)

Would saying the magic words 'I love you' in time have stopped it all going so wrong for Hanna? Or was some other power at play? Finnish piano-tuner Hanna Suvanto loves her new life and friends in Dublin. And the icing on the cake is meeting Ireland's premium bachelor, the personal development guru, Sebastian O'Reilly. But their whirlwind romance hits a serious obstacle when Hanna's stay is unexpectedly cut short. Sebastian seems strangely unconcerned about her departure - and then Hanna makes a shocking discovery about the man she thought she knew. Heartbroken and disillusioned with love, she returns to Finland, resolving to rebuild her life. Back in Ireland, Sebastian can't get Hanna out of his mind. Surely there is more to her abrupt departure than meets the eye?

Cruel Beauty - Rosamund Hodge (review here!)

 Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom-all because of a foolish bargain struck by her father. And since birth, she has been in training to kill him. 

With no choice but to fulfill her duty, Nyx resents her family for never trying to save her and hates herself for wanting to escape her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, Nyx abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, destroy his enchanted castle, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people. 

But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle-a shifting maze of magical rooms-enthralls her. 

As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. Even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, how can she refuse her duty to kill him? With time running out, Nyx must decide what is more important: the future of her kingdom, or the man she was never supposed to love.

Anything To Have You - Paige Harbison

Nothing should come between best friends, not even boys. ESPECIALLY not boys. 

Natalie and Brooke have had each other's backs forever. Natalie is the quiet one, college bound and happy to stay home and watch old movies. Brooke is the movie--the life of every party, the girl everyone wants to be. 

Then it happens--one crazy night that Natalie can't remember and Brooke's boyfriend, Aiden, can't forget. Suddenly there's a question mark in Natalie and Brooke's friendship that tests everything they thought they knew about each other and has both girls discovering what true friendship really means.

See Jane Run - Hannah Jayne

I know who you are. 

When Riley first gets the postcard tucked into her bag, she thinks it's a joke. Then she finds a birth certificate for a girl named Jane Elizabeth O'Leary hidden inside her baby book. 

Riley's parents have always been pretty overprotective. What if it wasn't for her safety...but fear of her finding out their secret? What have they been hiding? The more Riley digs for answers, the more questions she has. 

The only way to know the truth? Find out what happened to Jane O'Leary.

Afterparty - Ann Redisch Stampler

Emma is tired of being good. Always the dutiful daughter to an overprotective father, she is the antithesis of her mother -- whose name her dad won't even say out loud. That's why meeting Siobhan is the best thing that ever happened to her...and the most dangerous. Because Siobhan is fun and alluring and experienced and lives on the edge. In other words, she's everything Emma is not. 

And it may be more than Emma can handle.  

Because as intoxicating as her secret life may be, when Emma begins to make her own decisions, Siobhan starts to unravel. It's more than just Dylan, the boy who comes between them. Their high-stakes pacts are spinning out of control. Elaborate lies become second nature. Loyalties and boundaries are blurred. And it all comes to a head at the infamous Afterparty, where debauchery rages and an intense, inescapable confrontation ends in a plummet from the rooftop...

Bought:

• Delirium - Lauren Oliver (review up!)
• Pandemonium - Lauren Oliver (review up!)
• Candyfloss - Jacqueline Wilson
• The Bed and Breakfast Star - Jacqueline Wilson
• Changeling - Philippa Gregory
• No One Else Can Have You - Kathleen Hale (review up!)

I didn't get to pick newer books this time, since my dad's legs were hurting and so were mine. We were a little pressed for time too, so I hauled our tired buns to the Booksale store located inside the mall. Many of the books were old so I picked two books by Jacqueline Wilson (Candyfloss and The Bed and Breakfast Star) as well as Philippa Gregory's attempt into Young Adult (Changeling). I have a weakness for her other books so i'm hoping this would have the same effect on me. 

The next day, we hurried off to the bookstore and I grabbed Delirium and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. I ran out of cash (oh nooo!) so Requiem would have to wait until we visit there again. I can't wait!

Despite being ill in a big city, I make it a point to visit the book store. Mainly because it's the only way I can go to one since my tiny town doesn't have a book store, let alone one that has any Young Adult titles. I just had a bone marrow biopsy but I can't let that stop me from visiting the book store chain (National Bookstore) nearby. They even gave me a calendar, haha :) I think it's time I revive my membership card to this bookstore chain.
