The Pigeon Hole Twelve Days of Christmas - Part 1

Hey everyone; it’s Dusty here kicking off our Twelve Days of Christmas book haul event and wishing you a very Merry Christmas. I hope you’re having a good day for all of you who are celebrating today and that you have had a very bookish Christmas. Over the next few days I’ll be showing you all of the books I received for Christmas and believe me; there are a lot of them, a whopping thirty-six! So I hope you like what I have been given; here we go!

Feed – M.T Anderson

 This book was hard to get…I mean really hard to get. But my father is a wizard at finding difficult to get books and so here we are; Feed is in my midst. It sounds like a fantastic book, not one I hear about often on the blogs and YouTube.

Feed depicts a modern day Earth in which nearly all humans have had a chip implanted in their brains, and the protagonists’, Titus’, life in America, as the country is on the brink of war with a collaboration of other countries.

It sounds good, huh? Feed may not be number one in my to be read pile, but I know this is a book I certainly want to sink my teeth into. This is a novel that is fantastic for kicking off my Twelve Days of Christmas haul as, although it is far from festive, it sounds like an amazing novel with a thrilling and absorbing plot; I cannot wait.

Darkest Powers: The Awakening – Kelley Armstrong

The Darkest Powers series is quite popular around the blogosphere and the YouTube book channels, and I’m extremely excited to receive the second instalment in the trilogy. I have the first book in the series, The Summoning, but I am yet to read it, but this gift makes it a priority.

The Awakening commences from where the Summoning left off, with our protagonist Chloe having been captured by those responsible for the exacerbation of her psychic powers, where dark secrets lay in wait…

This sounds fantastic, and I definitely need to pick up the Summoning and dive head first into what sounds like an enchanting plot of sinister mysteries and supernatural powers. There’s a third book to get too, but I’ll have to put that off for a while until I catch up on the series.

The Curse Workers: White Cat – Holly Black

When you get into the world of blogging and YA books, you can fall back on three of the biggest authors in the business: Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare and the queen on the chequered board Holly Black and that’s what I have here; a great book from a great author.

White Cat is the story of Cassel, a boy with powers in necromancy whose abilities are kept under wraps as they are illegal. However, Cassel begins to sleepwalk whilst the figment on a white cat appears to him, apparently with the desperate need to tell him something, against a backdrop of other disturbing events that have begun to pan out in Cassel’s walking hours.

Wow; this book sounds absolutely amazing, I can’t wait. A great way to end today’s post, I think!

So, I think we can call it a day from there. I’ll be back tomorrow with another three books of awesome that were under my Christmas tree this morning. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Christmas all of you partying the night away. Until tomorrow, keep that jacket dusty for a Libba Bray centric day tomorrow!

Dusty :]
