Skip Beat vols. 11-21 by Yoshiki Nakamura
-I went a little crazy for Skip Beat this week. I couldn't stop reading it!



Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
-Barely started it, but I'm excited to see where it goes.


Books Received This Week


Library Stash

-I really shouldn't have gotten anything at the library with all my BEA books at home, but I couldn't help myself.


Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein



The Paris Wife by Paula McLain


Books For Review:


-Here are a few books that arrived in the last several weeks. I didn't put them up because I was just focusing on BEA books last week.


A Farewell to Charms (Princess for Hire #3) by Lindsey Leavitt
-For a blog tour. Thanks to Lindsey and Disney-Hyperion!


Triangles by Ellen Hopkins
-Thanks to Goldberg McDuffie!


From What I Remember by Stacy Kramer and Valerie Thoms
-Up on Netgalley for this weekend only!!!! Get it now!!!


CD Stash




Blunderbuss by Jack White
-I bought the single "Love Interruption" off of iTunes weeks ago, but I finally got the whole album from the library! It's good, although "Love Interruption" is my favorite by far.

    I read Paris Wife and ... wow. Hemingway was kind of a jerk in real life.
    Loved Code Name Verity and I am SO sorry that some of your BEA books were lost. I hope wherever they ended up, someone is enjoying them!

    I can't believe I isn't realize you were at BEA. It's so crazy though that I barely got to meet up with friends that I knew were there! lol
    Hope you had a great time. And you have reminded me to go download some music before my credit expires!

    I had no idea about the TFiOS tumbler, either! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for posting the link.

    Awesome library books! I started listening to Code Name Verity but couldn't get into the audio version ... the book seemed awesome, though! Now I just have to wait for the physical copy from the library.

    From What I Remember looks great! I'm going to mosey over to NetGalley to take a look. :)

    Have fun reading!
