Wow! That is beyond crazy how many books you got! When are you gonna be able to read em all?!?! haha
Can’t wait to hear what you think about Name of the Star & A Touch Morbid!
My latestIMM
Holy crap! It would take me, like, a year to read all those! Enjoy!
Nice haul! Not going to lie, I’m definitely kind of jealous of Wings of the Wicked. Enjoy your new books!
Awesome books April, looking forward to your reviews!
It would take me, like, a year to read all those! Enjoy
looking forward to your reviews!
NICE! God, I love books. They rock. And yay for WINGS OF THE WICKED — really enjoyed ANGELFIRE & looking forward to this one (please, no sophomore slump…). Happy reading!
Wow awesome haul!! Wish I could have a week like this.

Wow so many books, its like book heaven!
What the What ! OMG, look at all those books. Wow. I guess you will always have something to read, but where will you begin ?
so basically I see….blablabblahblahTONYHAWKblahblahblah. I know that’ll be your new favorite. (*snort*)
Anyway, yay for Elizabeth Peters! Man, I love that series.
I’ll be curious to see what you think about Julia Quinn, basically the darling of the genre….I’ve tried her books more than once and didn’t like ANY of them. sigh.
Dang! Good thing you’re a fast reader!
So many pretties. I want to pet them.
Romancing Mr. Bridgerton is my favorite JQ book. Have you read any of the other Bridgerton books? If not, you’re so going to want to after you finish Colin & Penelope’s book.
And enjoy the Amelia Peabody books! Emerson was my first book boyfriend (for some reason, I stole Crocodile… off my aunt’s shelf when I was in 8th grade and thought I was super cool) and I’ve never really gotten over him.
I loved Amy & Roger’s — I hope you do too. It’s such a fun road trip book. I also can’t wait to hear you thoughts on Name of the Star- I’ve been dying to read that one. Enjoy all your books!
mists of avalon! hell to the YEAHHHHH.
You basically had the most monumental week ever.
woohoo good week!
OMG. An epic week of Awesomeness. Come visit me over at Livre De Amour-Books of Love and see what I got this week. I didn’t get a lot like I usually do.

HOLY POO. That did explode with awesome. Sooo jealous of Wings of the Wicked. And Epid Detour!! Hope you enjoy!

Uh awesome HarperTeen titles for sure. And I just finished Sweethearts by Sara Zarr – I cried and cried and cried, hah! I have Birthmarked for Kindle too – looking forward to when you review
this is a total book gang bang of a mail box! oh my goodness so much hotness in one photo! HOW CAN YOU STAND IT! x
OMG! The awesomeness did explode! And yay for Wings of the Wicked (I’d totally do happy dances for that one as well)! I’m dying to read it, hope you enjoy!
And by the way, your library seems to have the best sales ever! I’ve only been to my library’s sale one time, but the books were just meh.
I never realized 50 Cent wrote a book… But as it’s what all the ‘cool’ celebs are doing, it sort of figures…
Happy reading!
I LOVED Amy & Roger! It is so much fun! I also really enjoy The Name of the Star. I can’t wait to see what you think of it.
I just finished The Son of Neptune and thought it was fantastic because Percy is back. I love Julia Quinn’s books and I’m only just now starting the Bridgerton series. So much fun
I hope you enjoy all of these!
Oh wow, that is A LOT of books, April! I got that surprise package from Harper yesterday too, but I was too lazy to add it to my IMM
so next week, hehe.
Oh my goodness!! I want to be you this week!! I have never had a mailbox like this!

I’d strongly suggest reading the print version of A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness (if you haven’t already) too because the illustrations are beautiful.
Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour is on my wishlist too. Enjoy
