Hi April
Nice haul!
I didn’t know you spoke on domestic violence. There is a book you may be interested in that is AMAZING that deals with the subject.

You got SO MANY awesome titles! I’m most jealous of Wolfsbane. I need to read Paranormalcy, it’s right up my alley so I need to get on it. Right now I feel like I’m stuck in Book Club book land and I’m drooling over my TBR pile. I love that you include audiobooks, It never even occurred to me that publishers would send those for review.
Thanks for your vlog!!

How have you not read Paranormalcy? IT IS SO GOOD!

I didn’t know they sent audiobooks until I was offered them, ha ha.

I hope you review Go, Mutants! I have that book lying around but have yet to pick it up.

Go, Mutants! isn’t too bad so far. I’ll admit that it’s weird, but makes my drive go by pretty quickly.

Beauty Queens is effing AMAZING. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Sooo jealous of your Package of Awesome! Shatter Me is one of the books I’ll be grabbing for at BEA.

Speaking of BEA–woo! Only about a week away! So excited!

Oh yay that makes me even more psyched to read Beauty Queens.

Also, I am jealous of myself for that package hahahaha.

I think I’m going to read Wolfsbane this week before BEA, because it’s kind of calling to me.

Yay! Looks like you got some amazing books. Enjoy Supernaturally, I really liked Paranormalcy. Hope you have tons of fun at BEA. I’m hoping to go someday once I have my educator’s discount. :-)

As a blogger, you can go through BBC which is discounted and so worth going to BBC as well.
