  • Sab H.

    You got AMAZING books! I loved If I stay! I really really want The Tear Collector.. and I'm looking forward to read your opinion on Hate List. Happy reading!!

  • Mandy

    That's some great book booty.

    I am currently reading Forest Born by Shannon Hale and it holds up by itself, without having read the Books of Bayern series before (I've only read the first in the series, and her other one-shot books).

    Boy Toy by Barry Lyga is also very awesome, if a tough read.

  • *Samantha*

    Great books! I have a few of them and I too an wondering about Forest Born. I haven't read the others in that series, but I have it and I don't know if I need to read the others or not…Happy reading!

    Xander! Yay. I love seeing Xander, he looks a lot like a rottie I used to have. So adorable.

  • Cat

    Aww, sleepy Xander! I like that you woke him up and he looks down the hall like "Whu..? Food? Maybe? No? Sleeping again."

    You and your a lot of books! Geez! I hope you have a big house. hee!

  • Shalonda

    You got some AMAZING books this week. Don't you love the cover of Tricks?????? I've had to stop and admire it in all the bookstores I've visited this week.

    And how awesome is Xander?!?!

  • Lizzy

    You got a bunch of great books this week. I'm not really sure about Forest Born, and I didn't even know it was in a series. Shame on me. Happy reading!

    We got some of the same RH books again, lol. Very jealous of Karma for Beginners hardcover- I just have the ARC which doesn't have a cover. :( Am excited to read it though. Same for Splendor Falls- got that this week and am so excited to read! I actually had just finished the third Maggie Quinn book recently, so it's funny that I got Rosemary's next book randomly, lol.

    Great vlog!! :)

  • Erica

    I can't wait to see your review of Sphinx's Princess – I loved Esther Freisners other books so I can't wait to see how this one is.

  • Kristan

    I can't wait to read the Prophecy of the Sisters…. *Lucky*

  • Lauren

    Wow, you get a lot of books! How long does it usually take you to read one book, AKA do those books pile up fast?

    I LOVED Tricks (http://starvingforbooks.blogspot.com/2009/08/tricks-by-ellen-hopkins.html), and I can't wait to read Soulstice! I'm excited to hear about Sphinx Princess, although the cover looks a lot like her Nobody's series.
