In Ethan Wate’s hometown there lies the darkest of secrets . . . There is a girl. Slowly, she pulled the hood from her head. Green eyes, black hair. Lena Duchannes. There is a curse. On the Sixteenth Moon, the Sixteenth Year, the Book will take what it’s been promised. And no one can stop it. In the end, there is a grave. Lena and Ethan become bound together by a deep, powerful love. But Lena is cursed and on her sixteenth birthday, her fate will be decided. Ethan never even saw it coming.

Bloom by Elizabeth Scott (read this one too, very good book)

Lauren has a good life: decent grades, great friends, and a boyfriend every girl wants. So why is she so unhappy?

It takes the arrival of Evan Kirkland for Lauren to figure out the answer: she's been holding back. She's been denying herself a bunch of things (like sex) because staying with her loyal and gorgeous boyfriend, Dave, is the "right" thing to do. After all, who would give up the perfect guy?

But as Dave starts talking more and more about their life together, planning a future Lauren simply can't see herself in-- and as Lauren's craving for Evan, and moreover, who she is with Evan becomes all the more fierce--Lauren realizes she needs to make a choice...before one is made for her.

Beastly by Alex Fynn (bought as per Katies recommendation) 
 
I am a beast.
 
A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.
 
You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.
 
Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog (I shuld have bought this a long time ago, it sounds fab, right?)
 
Morgan Sparks has always known that she and her boyfriend, Cam, are made for each other. But when Cam’s cousin Pip comes to stay with the family, Cam seems depressed. Finally Cam confesses to Morgan what’s going on: Cam is a fairy. The night he was born, fairies came down and switched him with a healthy human boy. Nobody expected Cam to live, and nobody expected his biological brother, heir to the fairy throne, to die. But both things happened, and now the fairies want Cam back to take his rightful place as Fairy King.
 
Even as Cam physically changes, becoming more miserable each day, he and Morgan pledge to fool the fairies and stay together forever. But by the time Cam has to decide once and for all what to do, Morgan’s no longer sure what’s best for everyone, or whether her and Cam’s love can weather an uncertain future.

Okay, so I got some pretty amazing things in the post this week.  For those of you who have gotten this far in my IMM post, boy, your in for a treat.  Also, those who paid attention will be thinking, "Now why did she mention Hush Hush and The Hunger Games and not include them in the post?" Well here's why:-

I swear, when they came, I hyperventalated.  Not only is The Hunger Games one of my favourite dystopian novels ever, its the Amerian copy, which has such a better over than the UK one.  And Hush Hush, wowzer!!! When the post lady came i'd just got out of bed, so I had serious bad bed head (not the sexy mussed up kind) and pj's.  I did a little happy dance and actually squeed.  If my post lady didn't think I was crazy, well, she sure does now.  I want to thank Katie, who is awesome beyond beleif for sending me these books, her kidness and generosity is endless.  I love you!! and you rock my socks off on a daily basis <,3

And then, the following day, another parcel came.  This time from Sophie, who you will all know as @Katarinasmama and/or @MundieMoms on Twitter.

Check out my goodies!!!!!!!!  This is the bet-EST present I have ever got.  Much squeeing and jumping around ensued when this parel was opened.  I got my 10 year old sister to take the photos, and she told me to grow up, thats how giggly I got.

So, as you can tell, I had an amazing week!!! Hope you all did too :-)
