Hello everyone! I have got a number of books this week, some are yet to be delivered, which is why I won't be listing them now (In my country international deliveries often turn out to be a little 'unpredictable' :\)-
REVIEW COPIES
Book Title: Sneaking Candy
Author: Lisa Burstein
Author: Lisa Burstein
All I ever wanted was
to make a name for myself as Candice Salinas, creative writing grad
student at the University of Miami. Of course, secretly I already have
made a name for myself: as Candy Sloane, self-published erotic romance
writer.
Though thrilled that my books are selling and I have actual fans, if anyone at UM found out, I could lose my scholarship…and the respect of my faculty advisor, grade-A-asshole Professor Dylan.
Enter James Walker, super-hot local barista and—surprise!—my student. Even though I know a relationship is totally off-limits, I can’t stop myself from sneaking around with James, taking a few cues from my own erotic writing…if you catch my drift. Candy’s showing her stripes for the first time in my real life, and I’ve never had so much fun. But when the sugar high fades, can my secrets stay under wraps?

Book Title: Infinityglass (Hourglass # 3 )
Author: Myra McEntire
Author: Myra McEntire
The stakes have risen even higher in this third book in the Hourglass series.
The Hourglass is a secret organization focused on the study of manipulating time, and its members — many of them teenagers -have uncanny abilities to make time work for them in mysterious ways. Inherent in these powers is a responsibility to take great care, because altering one small moment can have devastating consequences for the past, present, and future. But some time travelers are not exactly honorable, and sometimes unsavory deals must be struck to maintain order.
With the Infinityglass (central to understanding and harnessing the time gene) at large, the hunt is on to find it before someone else does.
But the Hourglass has an advantage. Lily, who has the ability to locate anything lost, has determined that the Infinityglass isn't an object. It's a person. And the Hourglass must find him or her first. But where do you start searching for the very key to time when every second could be the last?
