Last week I bought zero books. Nada. And went on a book buying ban. That lasted about four days ;) I have gotten some great books this week and something I've been dying to have.....
A Kindle!
Loving it go far. It has some not-so-great things, but I'm a fan. I'll do a review over when I'm more comfortable using it.
From Net Galley:
The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross (I was debating which book to start reading, but Kady tweeted me and offered me a cupcake, so I'm a little ways into this book. So different from anything else I've read, mysterious, but in a good way)
Starcrossed
by Josephine Angelini (A retelling of Helen of Troy---this mythology trend can continue forever as far as I'm concern)

We'll Always Have Summer
by Jenny Han (I finished this on Friday night. Still processing it. I didn't realize I was so attached to these characters until after I finished it. Loved it)

by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (ALICE! Oh how I love this girl. Naylor will be wrapping up this 20+ book series that I've been reading since elementary school soon. I'm going to relish each word.)

ReplyDeleteWow you've got some amazing things on your plate. You best get reading I sure hope you have a ton of free time!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
Great IMM! I am really looking forward to reading The Girl in the Steel Corset and Starcrossed! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGlad your enjoying your new toy!! I see you're already loading it up with some great books! I can't wait for Girl in the Steel Corset---it looks and sounds amazing! Hush, Hush is a great read! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteOh! Oh! Oh! I love Helen of Troy stories and had no idea that Starcrossed was about that lovely lady!! I will def have to look for it. Or a review of it. Or actually maybe I'll ignore all reviews in favor of the epic Troy-ness. So glad I stopped by your blog! Thanks :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I did enjoy Hush, Hush quite a bit. It was pretty sexy if a little frustrating (to me) at times. Plus, I love the fallen angel trend, and both City of Bones and Hush, Hush use very unique angel mythologies. So cool to compare!
Tons of great stuff this week! :)
