This was a slower week for me. I am trying to spend less on everything and put that money towards paying off the bills from Christmas. I am trying to take the 2013 TBR Pile Challenge seriously and actually read from the insane stacks of books taking over my office.
Netgalley
Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
A zombie who yearns for a better life ends up falling in love—with a human—in this astonishingly original debut novel.
R is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He doesn’t enjoy killing people; he enjoys riding escalators and listening to Frank Sinatra. He is a little different from his fellow Dead.
I cannot wait to read Warm Bodies! I wrote about the book and the movie in Read It Before You See It: Warm Bodies. I nearly always need to read the book first, so this really could not have come at a better time.
ARC
The Cadet Of Tildor by Alex Lidell
I received The Cadet Of Tildor through the Debut Author Challenge ARC tour, which I am so glad to participate in. Other books from the Debut Author Challenge ARC tour Altered by Jennifer Rush (review for Altered can be found here) and Nobody But Us by Kristin Halbrook (review coming next week.) I am about halfway through The Cadet Of Tildor and am think it is amazing. A review should be posted next week and I sure do have a lot to say about this book.
What books did you get this week?
All cover images and summaries from goodreads.
Hi! Love your Stacking the shelves picks
Warm bodies was awesome, I loved it so much I’m afraid the movie won’t be good enough, lol! Happy reading!

The movie looks really good. It can be so disappointing when the movie does not live up to the book.
I borrowed a copy of Cadet of Tildor from work and I”m looking forward to reading it soon! I love a good high fantasy
Enjoy!!

I have heard nothing but really great things about Warm Bodies. I pretty much love anything zombie related, so I’m sure I will enjoy it.
I just finished reading Warm Bodies yesterday. It was absolutely amazing! It was really unique as were the characters. I’m super excited for the movie!

Yes, I have been seeing the book tons of places lately. I just wanted to make sure that I read it before I saw the movie.
Warm Bodies should be good. I’m a little confused. You got it on NetGalley but isn’t the movie about to come out? Are they that close together?
Anyway, happy reading!

The book has been out since 2010. It may be on Netgalley so people read it before the movie? Not exactly sure.
