Holy cow that's a lot of books, lol!!

I liked what you said about not being a loser and knowing what people are talking about, lol! I feel the same way a lot of times. But there's just too much to read everything!

Hmm. I mixed on this one. I love Jane Austen, but Mansfield is my least fave (by a loooooong shot. It's the only one I haven't read more than once, though I do own it and have been meaning to give it another shot). Also, I am one of the naysayers for City of Bones. I read it and it was okay enough for me to read #2 (and I likely will read #3), but the writing is seriously flawed in my opinion.
As for the rest, looks like a good haul. I think I'm going to end up being powerless in the face of killer unicorns too. Plus, as I've said before, I am a sucker for a good cover.

You got a lot of books. I want to read Rampant, it sounds really good. City of Bones is amazing! Absolutely love her books. Hope you enjoy all your books.

Happy reading!

My speakers have gone so I can't hear any sound on vlogs. :( That's a good list though. I'm desperate to read Rampant – a unicorn book that actually sounds good! I loved City of Bones too.

I have to say, I found Mansfield Park pretty dry. It seemed a lot more sombre than other Jane Austen novels… one of those books where I feel like it's an achievement when I finish it.
