Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Between, #1) The Fairest of Them All The Butterfly Sister: A Novel The Goddess Chronicle

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke 
A girl and her brother living in crumbling mansion take on a renter for the guesthouse who may or may not be the devil incarnate. I've started this already and am enjoying it so far. I love that cover!
The Fairest of Them All  by Carolyn Turgeon
A re-imaging of two fairy tales with Rapunzel as Snow White's wicked step-mother. I'm pretty intrigued by this premise. 
The Butterfly Sister by Amy Gail Hansen 
Almost a year after a woman drops out of college her senior year after having an affair with one of her professors her dorm mate goes missing and she receives a piece of the missing girl's luggage.
The Goddess Chronicle by Natsuo Kirino
A re-imagining of the ancient Japanese creation myth of Izanami and Izanaki.

What I snagged from the library

Code Name Verity Spies and Prejudice The Lonely Hearts Club

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
I've heard great things about this novel about two friends and pilots whose plane goes down during WWII.
Spies and Prejudice by Talia Vance
I'm honestly pretty over re-tellings of Pride and Prejudice (there are so many), but I'm a sucker for books about teen spies so I'm crossing my fingers this one will be good.
The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg
I remember liking this one when it came out a few years ago, but can't really remember it, so I decided to give it a second look.
 
Well, that's all for me this week. What did you add to your shelves this week? Link me up!

  4. I've read all three books you picked up from the library. Yes, Code Name Verity is AMAZING. I mean, I had pretty high expectations, and it was even better than I was expecting.

    Spies and Prejudice - well, I was totally disappointed. I was not a fan, I'm afraid. But maybe you will like it.

    The Lonely Hearts Club is really cute, definitely worth a second read. I loved reading about all these girls sticking with each other.

    Anyway, enjoy you goodies and happy reading :)

  8. Great haul! Some of these I've never heard of before. I guess I'll need to make another trip to Goodreads and look them up before I go to bed. You know what that means.. I'll most likely be adding even more to my TBR. LOL.

    Thank so much for stopping by My Book Addiction!

  24. BtDatDBS was awesome and so atmospheric. I really hope you enjoy that one! That's actually the only one I've read from your haul. But I hope all of the others are just as great! Happy reading!

    BTW, how did you get Penguin to approve you? I got an ARC, but they never approve my e-requests for some reason. :(
