Geek Chic This Week is a feature here at Geek Chic to talk about the books I received this week, whether bought, borrowed, or mysteriously found on a park bench! It's inspired by the Story Siren's In My Mailbox.
First things first--Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Seriously, you guys absolutely rock!! (:D)
Also, I just wanted to mention the fact that I've been practically non-existent here for the last week. That's because of various things, but the point is that next week will be better--I've been having exceeding writer's block when it comes to reviews, but I'm determined to push past that and gets some reviews written. So look out in the coming week for reviews of SHINE, Storm, Darwin's Children, and maybe some others :)
Now, on to the books I got this week! I didn't get many, but I got some nonetheless ;D
FROM THE LIBRARY
-The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. I already read this book last year (it was actually the last book I started in 2011--I finished it a little while after midnight on New Year's Day), but with all the excitement over the sequel, the Evolution of Mara Dyer, plus some awesome Mara pictures drawn by the awesome ice-ridden, I was dying to read it again. So I did. (Just finished it this afternoon ;D)
-Storm by Brigid Kemmerer. Storm, you guys! STORM!!!!! I've already read this one, as well, and I am thoroughly dying to read Spark, and of course, Fearless, the novella coming in August. Absolutely anything to get back into this awesome, AWESOME world!!! I completely fell in love with Becca and Chris, just so you know, and the other Merricks (just not as much as CHRIS)! Like I said above, review of Storm is coming later in the week :)
-Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter. I've been looking forward to this one for quite a while! I love Greek mythology and all kinds of retellings of it, and Goddess Test was awesome! I'm very excited to see what happens next, and if Kate will get her happily-ever-after with Henry :D
So, what's in your mailbox this week? Leave me links to your book-sharing posts!!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted over at Breaking the Spine, spotlighting books that have not yet been released but are being greatly anticipated. Today, my pick under the category "Eeek awesome-looking sequel and have you SEEN that cover" is the, well, AWESOME-LOOKING sequel to the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin: the Evolution of Mara Dyer.
(*Note: Some Unbecoming of Mara Dyer spoilers in the synopsis!! You've been warned!*)
Two days after Mara walks into a police station in Miami at the close of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, she is committed for psychiatric treatment for what her parents believe is a mental breakdown. But what seems like a hallucination to everyone else is a chilling reality for Mara. Someone from her past has discovered her strange, disturbing secret and that someone wants her to pay. But she's about to discover that the price is more than she can bear.
Dark and thrilling, suspenseful and passionate, The Evolution of Mara Dyer will have readers breathlessly turning pages to find out what will become of Mara Dyer next.
Isn't. That. AWESOME? I loooved the first Mara Dyer, and I think this one is going to be awesome as well! And LOOK AT THAT COVER! Isn't it pretty? I think it's so, so cool!
Also, Goodreads is doing this thing that if the Evolution of Mara Dyer cover is "pinned" on Pinterest 500 times before May 6th, they'll release an exclusive excerpt on May 7th! Cool, right? I'm not on Pinterest, but if you are, you should totally pin the cover :)
Anyway, I'm super excited to see what happens next with Mara...and Noah <3
So what are you waiting on this week? Leave me your WoW links in the comments!!
