ReplyDelete*taps foot*
Totally kidding! Great books, sweetie! Living Dead Girl is good, but sooo eerie, wrong and sad. It just makes me sick how stuff like that happens, ya know?
Let me know how Overprotected is! :)
Atonement is a great book if you have patients. I've read it, and now own it thankfully, two years ago and it was great but I got lost at points. You could tell McEwan got bored when he was writing this book because it just lost momentum at the most inappropriate of times. Still, its an amazing plot. I really hope you like it! Terrific haul!

I really liked Elsewhere, I couldn't finish Living Dead Girl as it was just too much for my heart to take. Atonement has been on my list to read forever.....
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Elsewhere, it is such a good book! I've heard good things about Living Dead Girl too, just haven't got round to buying it yet. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI only read Atonement, but I really liked it. Sing Me To Sleep sounds really good! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOMG you got Over Protected - I cannot wait for that one. I completely love Jennifer Laurens.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :D
Great IMM! Living Dead Girl has a beautiful cover!! And I didn't really like Elsewhere... too bad my review is in French haha
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to read Living Dead Girl for like forever! Atonement drags at times, but overall probably more due to the plot than anything else makes it amazing and worth it. The ending has to have the biggest twist I have ever come across!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't much of a fan of Elsewhere, I expected more, but sing me to sleep is supposed to be awesome. Happy Reading! :)
Living Dead Girl and Atonement are great books...Atonement is definitely a bit heavier than most books I read though, so be prepared! Enjoy your new books, G! :)
ReplyDeleteohmigosh, what a fantastic book haul this week for you! sing me to sleep, living deal girl & elsewhere are all on my tbr pile, and ive heard great things about all of them. hope you enjoy them! as for atonement, i think id rather watch the movie, since literary fiction isn't really my thing. plus, i shamelessly get to ogle at james mcavoy *swoon* hehe :D
ReplyDeletealso, i cant believe i wasn't following you earlier :O i thought i was!
Here's what's IMM!
I noticed quite a few people got Overprotected. It looks really cute! Can't wait to see what you think about it!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Elsewhere... very interesting idea. Living Dead Girl broke my heart! It's certainly not a light read!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to read Elsewhere! She's also got a book called Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac that's good. :)
ReplyDeleteSing Me to Sleep is a good book! I also have Elsewhere on my shelf (I think I paid $3 for it) but I haven't read it yet. Great books!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to check out 'Living Dead Girl' because I love Elizabeth Scott's writing, but I guess I've been putting it off because of the sadness. I bought 'Elsewhere' a couple of months ago, but I haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteNice finds. =)
I liked Elsewhere but thought it could have been better. Still a worth while read though. Read it couple of years back. I came so close to getting Sing Me to Sleep recently. Person on Bookmooch had it and I requested it but they turned out to be a scammer. *sigh* Living Dead Girl is also on my wishlist. I have and need to read Atonement. Happy reading. :)

I've heard a lot of good things about Sing Me to Sleep, and I even own a copy, but I haven't gotten to read it yet. I hope you enjoy it! I''m curious to see what you think!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of those books, but I do love me some Elizabeth Scott! I've read Stealing Heaven and LYHYMY) I'm interested in hearing how Overprotected goes, it sounds like Tension City.
ReplyDeleteI've read Elsewhere! It was an okay book. Overprotected sounds interesting. Enjoy your books! :)
ReplyDeleteI bought Elsewhere AGES ago and totally forgot I had it until I cleaned out my book piles the other day.
ReplyDeleteI loved Living Dead Girl, but it was so sad.
