Books That Need More Attention Giveaway!

Welcome to the Books That Need More Attention Giveaway hosted by Val of Stuck In Books! This is about books that, although you love them, appear to pass by most readers. I've chosen three books which are some of my favorites but I don't see them mentioned a huge amount around the blogosphere. You get to choose one of the books below which will come via the Book Depository. All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me about your favorite underrated book and a way to contact you in case you're the lucky winner!

A Face Like Glass - Frances Hardinge

The Blackhope Enigma - Teresa Flavin

The Bones of Avalon - Phil Rickman

Don't forget to check out the other blogs taking part, thanks for entering and good luck!

Top Ten Tuesday #35 - New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2013

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely people at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2013

Thanks to my book journal and Goodreads this one was fairly easy to sort out although I did discover that I read an awful lot of new authors this year, at the expense of not reading sequels to books by authors I've read over the last few years and I've read far more contemporary YA books than I thought too. It was hard to narrow it down but this is my Top Ten (in no particular order) and books pictured are the ones I've read and/or own.

Reading RoundUp #24

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

An amazing week in terms of books and signings but an awful one in terms of reading... This is what I've read over the last seven days -

That's right... Zero, zip, nada, nothing, null and any other word for zero! I had an excuse while I was away, hard to read with twins poking you every five seconds but since I've been back I haven't so much as looked at a book. My excuse? The sun has finally decided to shine in the UK so I've been poddling about in my dad's garden trying to keep the place looking decent, he is not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination and my mum always did everything out there. Hopefully she'd be pleased with what I've been doing...

To Definitely Read/Finish This Week

The Crimson Shard - Teresa Flavin

Hysteria - Megan Miranda

A Ranger's Tale - Mysti Parker

To Start This Week

A Kiss At Midnight - Eloisa James

Working Stiff - Rachel Caine

NOS-4R2 - Joe Hill

I've got half-written reviews of The Testing, Don't Look Back, Witchstruck and Dead Ever After so I'm hoping to get at least a couple of those up this week and get the giveaway for Dead Ever After Started!

A better week for reading but still not great! This week will be an off week as I'm currently with the terrible twosome at my sister's house, not much reading again as I take advantage of going to bed early and sleeping! I've also fractured my right elbow and as I am right-handed things are awkward to say the least! It's currently strapped up while my docs deliberate over whether I need surgery or not...

Finished

Killing Rachel - Anne Cassidy

Undone - Cat Clarke

Wickedness - Deborah White

The Testing - Joelle Charbonneau

Yet another good week! In all fairness though most of what I finished this week was pretty short, already started or I stayed up quite late to finish... Isn't that sunrise pretty?
