What a crazy two weeks it's been. It's actually been more of a blur, really, but that seems to be the pattern for me these days. Another great pattern that I hope continues: I've been picking more "win" books than "loser" books!
Books I Was Given:
- Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge (thanks to Epic Reads!)
- Racing Savannah by Miranda Kenneally (thanks to Miranda herself!)
Books for Review:
- We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (Random House via NetGalley)
- The Edge of Falling by Rebecca Serle (Simon Pulse via Edelweiss)
- The Treatment by Suzanne Young (Simon Pulse via Edelweiss)
Number of Books I've Completed: 2 *cue sad sound effects*
What I'm Reading Now/Next:
- Fire by Kristin Cashore
- We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

Bookish (and not-so-bookish) Happenings:
- The feedback and comments I got from The Blogging Age discussion was AMAZING. Really, I actually wasn't sure about the post and then whap, I was slapped with great, insightful comments. And Jamie, who I consider the blogging queen, thrilled me to pieces.
- I had an interview for a Scholar Program at a university I'm looking at and they offered me a spot RIGHT THEN. I thought that was pretty cool, but I still need to decide if I want to join.
- I haven't been on Twitter much thanks to school sucking all the time out of my life.
- You know how I was off of sweets during January? Well, I definitely made up for it this past couple of weeks. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do it again.
- Did anyone else freak out about The Fault in Our Stars trailer? I DID.
- I just wanted to say that Joanne Rock is one of the nicest authors out there. I feel like I give her virtual hugs all the time.

The hoopla of Valentine's Day is coming up, brace yourselves. Happy reading!
That's awesome about the Scholar Program thing! :) Ahh, Valentines Day! I like the day after it more myself, when all the chocolate gets marked down! ;) My Mom has taught me to enjoy that! :) Have a wonderful week, Summer! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for that! Cheaper candy, hurray!
DeleteOh, the scholar program! Wow! Congrats :) I hope that you will be able to make a decision that suits you the best, but that's great news, Summer! :) anyhow, this haul? Amazeballs.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, Siiri, thanks :)
DeleteCongrats, on being offered a place on the Scholar Program! I enjoyed TFioS, but I wasn't quite as blown away by it as everyone one. So, I don't think I'll watch the movie.
ReplyDeleteAw. Well, I have seen a few people say the same thing!
DeleteOoh, it sounds like you have some awesome upcoming posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the Scholar Program!
Thanks, Emma!
DeleteI feel like I haven't been here in ages! I missed talking to you... I've just been in this huge blogging slump and it seems like I can't seem to pick up any books. Which sucks! Anyways, I'm kicking this nasty slump to the curb! I have We Were Liars and The Edge of Falling for review as well, we can talk and discus them :) Hopefully they're good reads <3
ReplyDelete*hugs* You're too sweet, Iris. I've been in something similar! Blogging slump and a definite reviewing slump that has got to GO. Yay, I hope we do!
DeleteYou really scored with the review books this week, Miss Summer! We Were Liars is one I want to get started on soon. Cruel Beauty is one I recently picked up at the library and I can't wait to see your review.
ReplyDeleteBig congrats on nabbing a spot in the Scholar Program- very cool!
Cruel Beauty is an awesome retelling! I'm so excited to see what else the author will write. We Were Liars also sounds amazing. I've heard a few different people say that it's already one of their favorites. Congrats on getting into the Scholar Program :)
ReplyDeleteYay that you're reading Fire Sunny, how are you finding it so far? I've actually been reading some pretty decent books lately too, I hope our good run continues for both of us. I hope you get to red loads more books this month too! :)
