So I'm back for another weekly wrap-up! I'm so pleased with all the good reading I did this week! My blog ain't so sparse anymore. Actually that's due to the fact that I actually sat down and wrote reviews. Lol. I suck at that sometimes. ANYWAY, here's the wrap up and what's new!

I'm baaaack! It's been forever. But I been gone for three of the 6 weeks, and super busy with no time the other three. I have great priorities obviously. =] But anyway, as a result I have a TON of books. Like over 40. It's insane. I don't know how I got so many...but I did. So yup, there's a almost-twenty-minute vlog because I was too lazy to edit.

What's New On The Blog:

The Book Haul
We finally come to the part of the post where I show you my books. Because of the overload I didn't want to edit and therefore this video is almost 20 minutes long. It's annoying but this is me seriously trying to not ramble. I think I did okay...obviously not enough though. Enjoy!


Again, due to crazy amount of books I don't feel obligated to type all 40+ out for you. However, once I get back on a regular schedule, I'll pick that up again! And with that said..I'M DONE! Holla! It's been cray-cray. I won't have a book haul up next week because I'll have just gotten back from a two-day camp of sorts so I'll do one in two weeks with my birthday haul! What's in YOUR stacks/mailboxes/hauls? Link me up! XOXO,


Sunday, June 16, 2013
Hullo everyone! Happy Sunday! Hope you're spending lots of awesome time with your Dads. :D Here's what's new this week in posts and books!

Hey guys! I've been having a pretty epic week. Lots of summer activities and parties! Plus I got into this choir I auditioned for! Yay! Anyway, it's kinda sad that these haul posts are getting scarcer on the blog. I have had no time to vlog and edit and post lately. So these might be more like monthly hauls. Haha. But here's all that's happened on the blog and in books! Plus, my signing recap from two weeks ago!! Yay!

Random Read of December
So it's that time of month again where I pick the Random Read of this month. This December I'm gonna read.......
The Sweetest Spell by Suzanne Selfors
Emmeline Thistle, a dirt-scratcher's daughter, has escaped death twice-first, on the night she was born, and second, on the day her entire village was swept away by flood. Left with nothing and no one, Emmeline discovers her rare and mysterious ability-she can churn milk into chocolate, a delicacy more precious than gold.

Suddenly, the most unwanted girl in Anglund finds herself desired by all. But Emmeline only wants one-Owen Oak, a dairyman's son, whose slow smiles and lingering glances once tempted her to believe she might someday be loved for herself. But others will stop at nothing to use her gift for their own gains-no matter what the cost to Emmeline. Magic and romance entwine in this fantastical world where true love and chocolate conquer all.
OOOH. Yay. I can't wait to read this. i actually have it from the library so it should be easy to read soon!!! AND THAT IS IT for today. Keep an eye out bright and EARLY tomorrow for the epic KICK-OFF of....

{This Girl Reads}
BOO! Hey! Sup? It's yet another day of this fun week of Halloween and books. Today Skeletons rule the day and in honor of them I'm going to share 5 books that I own that I still haven't read yet... Yikes.


Fated 
I got this one back from a giveaway, and I was excited because I haven't read any of Alyson's books and it had an interesting premiseand gorgeous cover. But then it just sat there and sat there as more books filled up around it. I still want to read this, but I will admit it's being pushed farther down my priorities list.




A Breath of Eyre
I bought this because I was absolutely enchanted with the idea behind this book. And the cover. It was gorg and totally just sucked me right in! But then I put it on hold so I could finish reading Jane Eyre, and I've put Jane Eyre on hold till I get a more modern Teen edition. :D So....I'm going to read, just not yet. At least that's the plan.



Inside Out
I loved Maria's book Touch of Power, and I've wanted to read this one for a while, so I snagged it up in Omnibus form with the sequel. My friend has already read my copy and liked it so I've been meaning to get on it, but so far it hasn't happened yet. I'm still really excited, though the guilt is starting to get to me. But I've promised myself the money will not be a waste. lol.


The Girl of Fire and Thorns
I bought this book after feeling so eager to this one. I mean it literally felt like the book was staring at me the whole time I was in the store. :D It was creepy. So I cracked and bought it, really excited to read. My friend has been raving and amazing reviews are everywhere, I just havn't found the time to read it. That sounds so ironic.... Anyway, it's in my future. Soon I hope. 


Tiger's Curse
This is the worst of them all. There are SO many good reviews out there for this book I felt SO behind having not read the series. But every time I went to the bookstore I could never find the first book. It was weird. Finally the first one showed up and in excitement I snatched it for my possession. It's still sitting on my shelf collecting dust. This one I'm really motivated for though so probably next road-trip or break in library books I will read this. I just feel so guilty every time I see someone rave or review it. :P


So, these are the poor, unfortunate souls, I mean Skeletons sitting on my shelf. Hopefully I'll get to them soon so that they may Rest In Peace, and I will too.... What Skeletons do you have? Participating? Link me up? Not? I'd still love to hear! XOXOOOOOOO,

But of course I'm not splurging as much as I want to so I just got it uber fast from the library (and found a  SUH-WEET Breathless Reads book mark in the copy. Score!) And then...MARK OF ATHENA came out! I HAD to have this book! Eep oh and it came with a Target Exclusive Poster (which for the record you won't see on my walls). Double score!
