Stocktake Saturday 42 – 2014

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 the World (Shattered Sea #2) by Joe Abercrombie – UK/AU cover
• Salt & Stone (Fire & Flood #2) by Victoria Scott – there’s a matching US PB cover for Fire & Flood.

In Bookish News, Maggie Steifvater’s The Scorpio Races could be coming to a screen near you! Focus has “come onboard” to develop the book into a movie, with English screenwriter and playwright Jack Thorne writing the screenplay, and David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith’s KatzSmith Productions producing.

This week’s reviews:

• [3 Nov] Bad for You by Abbi Glines ★★★½
