Your finished copy of Firelight is lovely. I still need to read my ARC. Happy reading!
Firelight is SO good! I totally recommend you get to it ASAP.
I LOVED this vlog so HARD! I think you should swear every week, because I can’t stop laughing, its like staring at The Duff only FUNNIER!
lololol The DUFF. Maybe if I had on some horrendous green eye makeup next week, it’ll be just as funny.
Nice mailbox! I have a number of the books you bought on my TBR stack. I see you read The Replacement. I got it this week and am eager to get to it. My mailbox is here. Happy reading!
The Replacement rocks, and is definitely worth a read!
Nice loot, waiting to get my own copy of Firelight but will buy it… Lots of books to read April, enjoy!
My Mailbox this week
jackie ^_^
Jackie, Firelight is so awesome. I totally recommend buying it!
Awesome books this week! I love the cover for Firelight
I need to buy it, but UGH there are so many good books out right now.
I totally hear that. The market is exploding with awesome books!
Looks like you got some great books! I always end up with a ton of books when I go to library sales. I agree that $2 books are just too good to pass up. I’m a new follower and here is my mailbox.
Me too! The library sales are SO tempting.
Thanks for following Kate, I will definitely check out your mailbox.
Hi,
I’m a first time visitor to your blog, but when I saw the haul that you’ve listed, I had to listen to your vlog! I’ll be back to look for some of the reviews of the books that you mentioned.
Happy Reading!
Aww, yay Lillie! I will have to check out your blog. Thanks for stopping by!
OK drop everything else you are reading and read (in order)
1. Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher (you don’t even know how excited I am that you got this book. You are going to love it)
2. The Disreptuable History of Frankie Landau-Banks (Awesome book! Frankie is so cool. Feminist and cool. And she makes up words. Thus she is awesomesauce).
Oh and I guess Firelight should be next because everyone raves about it
I really really want to read the Duff. I need to work on that.
I’ve actually already read Firelight, and quite enjoyed it!
I can’t freakin wait to read Whale Talk and Disreputable History. I think they will be on my October reads. Right now though, I am reading Absolutely True Diary Of A Part Time Indian, which I don’t really want to drop
Well you may not be reading but you are buying some wonderful books! :0 They look good! Enjoy!
