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 said...
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* said...
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 said...
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 said...
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?!?!

Looks like you got some really good ones! I'm excited to read your review of Ash and The Hate List. Prophecy of the Sisters is at the top of my TBR pile! I totally bought just because it was so pretty...thankfully I've heard it's good. =)

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!

Great list! I'm reading Hate List right now and really liking it so far. I really want to read Tricks, and Spledor Falls and Ash sound intersting. 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 said...
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.

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

susan said...
I'm looking forward to reading Ash, too.
