A lot of these are new ones to me which is odd but whatever. Proxy sounds really interesting, I'll be curious to start seeing reviews on that one. The Twistrose Key I had to get my hands on too, besides the gorgeous cover it SOUNDS incredibly enchanting too. We got short changed though when they explained the synopsis of Counting by Sevens though, all they said was it was a book about OCD but the way you explained it out makes it sound even more interesting! Again I am so so sorry about the state one of your BEA boxes was, that's just too horrible but I am glad some of these made their way back to you!Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-38972466720709616422013-06-11T21:30:02.678-04:002013-06-11T21:30:02.678-04:00Thanks!

Sounds like there are some great adult fiction books coming out (I'm try to get back into my love for adult fiction this year, haha)! I've added Margot on Goodreads since it sounds interesting - although, would you believe that I am a lover of history and history graduate and somehow have NOT read The Diary of Anne Frank? I need to remedy this soon, me thinks!

Steph has even more contacts, and I don't think that's really gotten her any ARCs either. Just fill out their blogger form and you'll either get stuff or you won't. That's pretty much it.<br /><br />Seriously, that title is ridiculous. It's LONG and I can't spell that first word.<br /><br />So PRETTY.

It was about a woman who got amnesia and does not remember last 10 years of her marriage or why is she divorcing her husband (last she remembers they were madly in love). I was scared it's going to be a cheating story but it was not and it was good - very realistic characters and original twists and turns in story. I am hoping to read 'The Husband's Secret' soon too and I hope that there will be no cheating involved again.<br /><br />I have read 'Down to You' Cash and Nash *giggles* It's nothing special, just another new adult contemporary romance with a love triangle.<br /><br />The rest of the books and authors are all unknown to me but most of them sound very interesting. Especially middle grade ones.<br />I hope you enjoy them all!Dragana M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01012304691571509653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-85280228513962755652013-06-09T16:11:05.460-04:002013-06-09T16:11:05.460-04:00Great books!
