Extra! Extra! 20
Extra! Extra! is my weekly Sunday post featuring brand new additions to my TBR pile as well as a summary of what’s coming up on the blog.
This Sunday I’m linking up to Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer and also Sundays in Bed With hosted by Kate at Midnight Book Girl.
New books!
I Swear by Lane Davis
Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson
New Winners!
Winner of this week’s Freebie Friday was….
And don’t forget to enter to win one of three great new YA releases in my stop on the Back to the Books Giveaway Hop!
What Happened on the Blog this past week?
I reviewed Something Strange and Deadly — and wanted more zombies? What?????
I reviewed Defiance — and prompted a conversation in comments about the LOST smoke-monster. What was that thing, anyway?
What’s up for next week?
Reviews of The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna and I Swear (see above).
Hope you’ll stop by!
Tell me what you’re up to in comments or leave me a link to your post!
Both of those books sound great! Can't wait to read your review of The Lost Girl. I really enjoyed that book.
I'm finishing it right now. LOVE it.
Confessions of a Murder Suspect is already out?!? Ahh, can't wait! Read an excerpt of it from Nevermore, and I gotta say, it sounds really cool! And its cover is pretty kickass! 😉
And congrats to Donna! Hmm… hopefully that ARC of Throne of Glass will be up for grabs in next week's FF too! 😀
And what was that LOST smoke-monster? I don't remember anymore… I watched the entire series- except the last season where all questions were answered! *facepalm*
I think the Patterson book comes out later in September. His other YA series was not my kind of thing, but I've loved his mysteries, so I'm excited to give this a try!
Can't wait to hear what you think about Lost Girl!
LOVE it. Almost finished.
Nice haul. Confessions looks really good. Hope you have a great week.

Thanks so much!
I'm currently reading Throne of Glass-was hating the MC (copy too far away to confirm spelling of her name) and somehow have grown to have some sympathy for her! How did that happen? Not sure. I'm not loving it as much as I wanted to but I think I have a lot of thoughts to share when I write my review. I'm also really excited for Labor Day tomorrow when I'm having my own mini-readathon!
I liked Throne of Glass. It was the perfect level of fantasy and action for me. Look forward to hearing what you thought.
I am up to being BIG… about 5 weeks left! I also started DRowning Instinct by Ilsa Bick. She is my new favorite author. Love her writing.
I haven't read that one, but I did read Ashes, as you know…
I haven't heard of your new books but I am looking forward to your review of The Lost Girl! I am waiting for my copy to arrive. 🙂
It's a great book!
Confessions sounds great, hope you love it.

Me too!
I've never heard of I Swear before, but it looks good. I usedto be a fan of Patterson's Maximum Ride series, but quit. I'm looking forward to see what readers think of this new series. I hope you enjoy the books!
Thanks so much!
They look good, I've yet to read Patterson but I've heard he's so good.
His books are fun to read. Hope I like this one!
Both of those sound pretty awesome! I'm excited to see what you thought of The Lost Girl!
I find it harder to write reviews when I really liked the book. Working on it!
I enjoyed your review and the Smoke Monster discussion! I have been hearing great things about Lost Girl! I hope it ends up being a great read for you. Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great week!
Yeah, I wish someone could have explained what that thing was!
Confessions of a Murder Suspect sounds great.
Enjoy your books, and happy reading.
Here's my weekly book haul: Saturday on the Shelves

Thanks so much!
I am DEFINITELY going to have to check out Something Strange and Deadly — it looks great!
I really liked it!
I've never heard of those books. Glad to hear you are loving Lost Girl! I love Sean! I had a dream last night about the Carnival of Souls book. I was trying to order the audio book online but couldn't find it in my dream. I am hoping to get the audio book from the library since Spike from Buffy is the narrator so I guess my dream self really wanted that book.
Spike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to read Lost Girl bad! And I really liked Something Strange & Deadly..
Hope you entered my giveaway then!
I love the cover for I Swear!! It looks like my kind of book.
Not sure it's mine — lots of POVs. But I do like issue books!
CONFESSIONS OF A MURDER SUSPECT ticks all the boxes. I hope it lives up to expectations.
Congrats to Donna!!
Me too!
Uh-oh, Confessions of a Murder Suspect, eh? Sounds like someone's been copying down my diary! 😉 I might have to read that one.
Ha ha ha — I'll see if they catch her in the end!
Both of these are new to me, I like the sound of I Swear – enjoy your reading, hun!
Thanks 🙂
Can't wait for your thoughts on The Lost Girl, Jen!
Eep — need to get my thoughts in order!
I join all the other in saying I can't wait for your Lost Girl review! That book has been on my radar for awhile!
OMG — the pressure. Now I have to think of something intelligent to say.
After re-reading my posts, most of which ramble and are missing important letters and words- There can be no pressure for intelligence from me. Some squeeing from you during your review, maybe 🙂
What? You left one letter off. You should see what autocorrect and fast typing do to some of my comments! They're complete gibberish sometimes…
Nice haul this week! I want to read Confessions of a Murder Suspect. And The Lost Girl totally sounds like MY KIND OF BOOK! So I'm definitely looking forward to your review! 😀
Got to get that one written today!!!
Thanks for hosting!
Someone told me that Dearly Departed has lots of zombies….. true??
I'm enjoying it so far.
