I can't go check my library, since I'm in Italy and the book is in English...well, of course there are book in English in our libraries, but not just every book.

Also, giving up sweets would be VERY hard for me! I'm considering doing it for Lent this year (last year, I gave up coffee and nearly DIED), so I'll keep you posted.<br /><br />And awesome new books you've got! I can't wait to find out what you think of them, especially Alienated, which I am really excited about.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-27415666119787376432014-01-30T17:21:25.843-05:002014-01-30T17:21:25.843-05:00Thanks, Emily!

I'll be honest, when I'm not on the ban, I have a horrible time with moderation. I actually think it's easier to go cold turkey if I'm working towards a purpose (like I told myself to do it for January for the start of basketball games) than trying to balance it out.

And it's also great that you've been on a sugar ban - I've been meaning to do that too, although I'm already very good at using moderation when it comes to unhealthy food. I'm excited to read all of your upcoming posts. :)Emily @ Forever Literaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220478018390968505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-67470800901704749182014-01-27T12:48:54.807-05:002014-01-27T12:48:54.807-05:00Congratulations on the game!

I featured them on my Stacking the Shelves post earlier today! Can't wait to compare notes once we finish reading them. :) <br /><br />I'm really curious about your thoughts on Say What You Will and Bright Before Sunrise! Hope you enjoy all of your review copies though.<br /><br />So, I've been M.I.A. this past week, but I'll slowly be making my way through all the posts I missed.
