Welcome to Stocktake Saturday! This feature is where I share some bookish news with you and then show you all the bookish goodies I got over the week.
The cover reveals from the last week – (links to Goodreads pages)
- Half a King (Shattered Sea #1) by Joe Abercrombie – Voyager cover
- The Mime Order (The Bone Season #2) by Samantha Shannon
In Bookish News, it’s less than a week until the Divergent movie releases here in Australia!! Yay!! I’m going to a media screening on Wednesday night, so I’ll be posting up my thoughts on Thursday. In the mean time, watch these awesome featurettes that have been released in anticipation of the movie.
Kate vs. Shailene:
Take a Stand:
Meet Four:
There’s a new Winds of Winter chapter on GRRM’s website. Ignore that it says it posted in Jan 2013, it’s definitely the newest one that went up this week. Martin apparently replaces old excerpts with the new ones on the same post.
Watch the book trailer for Jessica Shirvington’s Disruption!
This week’s reviews:
- [24 Mar] While We Run by Karen Healey ★★★★
- [25 Mar] The Elite by Kiera Cass ★★★
- [27 Mar] The Gospel of Loki by Joanne Harris ★★★★½
I’m also Waiting On Out Of Control by Sarah Alderson this week!

Half a King looks very interesting. Thanks for the Divergent clips, they were great, can’t wait to go see the movie. Love the Disruption trailer, can’t wait to read that one. Didn’t get to Sydney to meet her unfortunately.
Sea of Shadows sounds interesting too. Haven’t read anything by Kelley Armstrong yet, maybe that would be a good book to start with.
Thanks for another great stocktake Saturday 🙂

Yeah I didn’t get to Sydney either, it looked like fun!! I’m very excited about Divergent, can’t wait to see it!
Sea of Shadows is gorgeous – it was a surprise copy from the publisher but it looks great! I have Kelley’s other series but I haven’t read them yet 🙁
Thanks for hopping by!!
