So first up let's look at the books I grabbed from Amazon. I had to buy "Dog Rough" when I stumbled upon it (it's a fairly new release). "Celebrity Chef Zombie Apocalypse" and "The Outsiders" were both free grabs. And finally, told you I didn't think I'd be able to hold out on "The Belles" for very long. And can I just say "Dog Rough" has one of the best dog covers ever!
And then of course I got a few books for review. "In the Vines" is a thriller that doesn't release until this summer. Hope the hype DOES NOT start building because that may mean the kiss of death for me. "Devil Shark" sounds pretty interesting and come on, sharks. It releases in June and nothing screams summer to me like a good shark book or movie. "White is the Coldest Color" is another thriller (did I mention how I think 2018 is the year of the thriller?) and "The Uninvited Corpse" is a new cozy.
So what books did you add to your shelves this week????
Looks like a fun bunch. I like the look of the Outsiders. :)
ReplyDeleteYea, from what I can tell, it's five interlinking novellas. Can't wait to find out more!
DeleteI added Devil Sharks as well. It's by the same author of last year's Shark Island, which I loved!

I need to read Shark Island - I didn't even realize they were by the same author.
DeleteI've been seeing The Belles everywhere, I should check it out!
ReplyDeleteMe too which is part of the reason I had to give in to the pressure.
DeleteOne of my reading friends won me a copy of The Belles! I can't wait to see what you think! I'm hoping to dive in soon :)
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteWhat an impressive haul! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Belles. Hope you enjoy all your new books. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy STT
Thanks. It might be a while before I get to it but I feel better just knowing it's there!
DeleteI've heard good things about The Belles, I hope you get to read and review it. In the Vines sounds good, just stay away from reviews if you can so it doesn't get spoiled!
ReplyDeleteThat's great advice!
DeleteI love the cover of DOG ROUGH!! :) I wished for the shark one but still haven't gotten it, oh well that is probably a good thing...lol. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll get it in the end :)
DeleteAt first I thought The Outsiders so the one from SE Hinton but upon a closer look it obviously isn't lol. It has a Stranger Things vibe to it. I also love the Dog Rough cover. so cute.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist Dog Rough and was anxiously awaiting its release. Can't go wrong for $2.99. Yep, this isn't the normal Outsiders.
DeleteEveryone seems to have read or at least own The Belles. I'm so intrigued by that book!
ReplyDeleteI am too. That's why I had to have it.
DeleteIs Devil Sharks a sequel? I missed out on reading Shark Island. I need to read those this summer. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's a sequel or just by the same author. I must figure that out.
DeleteI thought the Belles was very interesting - much more so than I'd expected. It still has an element of lots of dresses and descriptions of looks but there is an under current of intrigue. I'm keen to see where the second book goes.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Wonder what the second book will be called? Does it have a name yet?
DeleteSo many books! I love the cover of White is the Coldest Colour and it sounds so intriguing.
ReplyDeleteYes, the cover is what initially caught my attention.
DeleteI've only heard of The Belles but the other ones look pretty good too. Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHere is My STS
Hope you had a great one too Jackie!
DeleteI have The Belles checked out from the library but haven't started it yet. I've heard great things. I haven't heard of In the Vines, but it looks interesting. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteNatflix&Books
My library didn't have it yet and this was one I felt compelled to buy.
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of these!! I want to read The Belles so bad. It sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks tons! Seems like you've read a lot of good books lately.
DeleteLooks like a fun haul. I hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks AJ.
DeleteOh my goodness, Celebrity Chef Zombie Apocalypse looks like it would be a fun read. Enjoy all your new reads this week.
ReplyDeleteI know. Who could resist that cover - plus it's free!
DeleteHaven't read any of these, but I've seen the Belles around quite a lot :) enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI may wait to read it because I don't have the best of luck with over-hyped books. Might want the hype to die down first.
DeleteI love that cover for Dog Rough! OOH I didn't know about Devil Sharks! I have to grab that when the paperback comes out as I loved the first one!
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought of you when I grabbed Devil Sharks.
DeleteYou've got some interesting books this week! I am looking forward to reading your thoughts about The Belles! I hope you'll enjoy all the books you got! Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn - you too.
DeleteI really want to read The Belles, but I have bought too many books this week! A great haul. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThere's worse things you could buy right?
DeleteI like the cover of in the Vines! I hope you enjoy all your new books!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading Barb!!! ox
Thanks Michelle.
DeleteThe Belles looks so good and I've been hearing a lot of great things about it. I hope you enjoy all of your new books. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristin.
DeleteI remember reading a book called The Outsiders in school way back when. Is it the same one, I wonder? Nice haul this week, Barb. I would have been shocked to see one without a dog or a bird! LOL
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
You most likely read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton about a group of poor kids and the rich snobby jerks they get into a brawl with.
DeleteYes, gotta have at least ONE dog book (or bird).
DeleteI have the Uninvited Corpse to review, too. It looks good. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks like a promising new series.
DeleteOMG, Devil Sharks! One of my fave things to do with my mom is watch really terrible B-movies about sharks. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Sometimes B-movies are the best (even when they're really bad).
DeleteI haven't seen any of the books that you picked up for review since I am trying hard to stay off NetGalley. I am really curious about The Belles and look forward to your review of that one. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI admire your willpower!
DeleteI love a good thriller and In the Vines seems like one I'd enjoy! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cricket and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI've heard so much about the Belles, but I'm hesitant. The beauty concept just doesn't appeal to me. That's part of the reason I could never get through the Uglies series, actually. But I love the pink map inside, so I may have to but it just for that. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Shell's Stories!
I've never read The Uglies. This one is getting so much hype, it may be a while before I pick it up - even though I really want to!
Delete*laugh* Oh I am so looking forward to your review of Dog Rough!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds fun.
DeleteThat Dog Rough cover is amusing. Is he drinking wine? Water? Vodka? I'm guessing straight up vodka with those shades of his.
ReplyDeleteI would think vodka too. He doesn't look much like a white wine kind of dog :)
DeleteI like the cover for The Outsiders and In The Vines. Hope you enjoy your books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks you too!
DeleteI would like to read The Outsiders and In the Vines. Seems like it is different then the original outsiders that they did the movie about. I have to go check it out on goodreads. I hope you have a great week of reading!
ReplyDeleteMary
This Outsiders is horror so yes, much different.
DeleteI have a copy of Belles, but I haven't read it yet. I hope you love all your new books :)
ReplyDeleteI think lots of people have The Belles. It and Cruel Prince are kind of EVERYWHERE!
DeleteYay new reads! The Uninvited Corpse looks fun.
ReplyDeleteI think so too.
Deleteyay! you are reading the Belles! I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get to it sooner rather than later.
DeleteI had an ARC of the Belles and finished it the other week. I hope you enjoy it and all your goodies!
