For Review:
(click the cover to go to Goodreads)
All her life, eighteen-year-old Bea has wanted nothing more than to become a sniper on the wall and earn the coveted ink of a Dread warrior – a mark of distinction among her people.
She knows that one day the terrifying Erebii might break through the city’s outer defences, and if her people aren’t prepared and the wall is breached then the last human city will fall.
But everything Bea thinks she knows is about to be challenged…
What does the ink really do as it flows underneath their skin and who is the mysterious Unwanted boy that keeps appearing in her life?
Imagine my surprise when an unsolicited copy of a book shows up on my doorstep. I’ve never heard of Unwanted, but my husband and I have recently watched a Japanese anime called Attack on Titan, which has certain elements in common with this book, so I’m really hoping I’ll enjoy it, even though I won’t get around to reading it until well after its January embargo date. Thank you, Penguin Teen Australia!

I’ve had Aurora Sky on my ereader for a while and hope to get started on the series in the spring. I’m trying to get through the books I have on my physical bookshelves first so I can free up some space! Enjoy your books!
Nemo
I know the endless pain of trying to read all your physical books. Good luck!

I can only dream of attending a large-scale book event. I hope it was fabulous!

I’m reading Dreamer’s Pool right now. I love Marillier and…I’m struggling with this one. It’s soooooo beautiful, though.
Enchanted by Althea Kontis looks intriguing.
Nemo
Thanks for the warning, but I was an adult high/heroic/dark fantasy reader before I discovered YA, so I think I should be OK! Besides, she’s an Australian author. I have a good history with them.
Brigid
same here actually. I still am, tbh.

Great haul and Unwanted sounds interesting.

All these books look enchanting! I love fairytale retellings and I can see that there are quite a few here so I hope they turn out amazing! Your blog is beautiful by the way:)
