Bookish Recap

In wake of this week's scandal, I'm going to do a recap of books I received, books I read, and my posts instead of In My Mailbox. I haven't commented on the drama nor will I except to say that I am very disappointed both with Kristi and with the YA blogging community (especially the Twitter-sphere). I don't know what the consequences will be or should be. But I'm using this as an excuse to change the format for my mailbox posts.

Books I Read This Week


-It's been a busy reading week - the best kind of week.


Heaven Is Here by Stephanie Nielsen
-Stephanie of the popular blog NieNie Dialogues - about the horrible plane crash she was in and her recovery.
-Heartbreaking but hopeful

-I was lucky enough to meet Stephanie at an event a few years ago. I would love to spend more time with her. Here's  photo of me, Stephanie and Mr. Nielson:




Skip Beat vol. 3 by Yoshiki Nakamura

The Snowchild by Eowyn Ivey

-Beautiful and depressing. I won't review this because it's an adult book, but I'd recommend it.


Soulless by Gail Carriger

-I wanted to read this for a long time. I also won't review this one, but you should read it. Goofy and fun.


The List by Siobhan Vivian

-Better than I expected it to be. A quick read. Also somewhat depressing.


Body and Soul by Stacey Kade

-Such a cute book. Love the whole series.
