I’m really happy with the arrivals this week. Both the novels are outside my normal genres but really pique my interest. First up!

I’ve wanted Touched by an Alien for a while now. I’d never heard of sci-fi romances until I saw this book advertised on a blog. I’m not a fan of contemporary romance, and my interest in romances wasn’t  revive until someone introduced me to paranormal romances. Here’s the thing. I’ve read very few sci-fi novels. In fact, I can only think of two: Jenna Starborn and the Ender’s Game series. Okay, Ender’s Game is a series, not a single novel, but still. You get my drift. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to this book. As soon as I finish Darkest Lie, this one’s next. Thanks, Monica (The Bibliophilic Book Blog).

This book I can see myself reading right after Touched by an Alien. I won Rampant for my second place entry on Melissa Barlow’s blog Surviving Writing a Book in her Zombie vs Unicorns contest. Go Team Unicorn! Yum! Apparently this novel is about killer unicorns and a young girl’s quest to destroy these useful beasts. If you follow this blog, you know I’m new to the YA genre. I’m thinking this will be a fun read. Thanks again, Melissa. 🙂
