Back to the books and it's been another good week in terms of books in, only two review books and one book bought... I know, I know! I said I wasn't buying any books but this one is different because it's my bestest book buddy's second novel and she's amazing and everyone needs to check it out :) Also amazing is the cover for Ali Shaw's new book, The Trees. I loved The Girl With Glass Feet so can't wait to get stuck into this one. In other news my replacement Kindle Fire still isn't here and Amazon are now saying end of February/beginning of March. Grrrr...

Book Haul #108, Or The One Where I Develop Vertigo...

Yes, you read that correctly. I have vertigo, quite badly in fact, thanks to a pesky ear infection and it's all I can do remain upright for long enough to do anything! The one bright point is that I can genuinely do nothing but read so there's always a silver lining :)

I've been really good this week and bought one book. And if that book hadn't been written by one of my dearest, oldest friends then I would have been purchase free. I've been waiting for this girl to get published for a long time though so absolutely had to buy a copy of Under My Skin. I've already finished it and I can highly recommend it if you're a fan of anything Gothic, YA, horror or Frankenstein. There will be a review appearing just as soon I can sit still without the world turning and/or wanting to be sick!

Inside we are all monsters...

Chloe was once a normal girl. Until the night of the car crash that nearly claimed her life. Now Chloe's mother is dead, her father is a shell of the man he used to be and the secrets that had so carefully kept their family together are falling apart.

A new start is all Chloe and her father can hope for, but when you think you're no longer human how can you ever start pretending?

A contemporary reworking of a British horror classic, Under My Skin follows seventeen-year-old Chloe into an isolated world of darkness and pain, as she struggles to understand what it really means to be alive.

Set against the familiar backdrop of everyday, normal teenage worries, Chloe's world has become anything but...

Under My Skin is available to pre-order now!
