August Rewind and Review

Hosted by Shae Has Left the Room

Fall is officially here! I'm thrilled to be out of summer. I don't necessarily like the start of school, but when August comes, I start feeling a bit more orderly, sane, and secure. It's a wonderful feeling. Along with that, I also got some books, which is even better.

My Posts

• The Song of the Lioness audiobook series by Tamora Pierce (hello, amazing)
• Wishlist Wednesday #19 - Being Sloane Jacobs by Tamora Pierce
• Six Reasons Why I'm Glad I'm Not in Fiction
• Top Ten Tuesday - Things That Make Blogging/Reading Easier
• International Cover Battles: US vs Everyone
• Top Ten Tuesday - Secondary Characters

Stuff I Was Given

• Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (hardcover, thank you St. Martin's!)
• Six Months Later by Natalie Richards (I mentioned it in my last R&R, but now I have a picture for it!) 
• I also included the really sweet note Natalie attached along with the book because those kind of things need to be recognized as well.

Stuff I Bought

• Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen (new cover for $1)
• Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen ($1)
• The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart ($1)
• Josephine by Beverly Jenkins
• Camp Boyfriend by J.K. Rock

A Few of My Favorite Blog Life Moments

• The geeky moment where I excitedly fixed a post's code...thing. So it's not totally geeky since I don't really know what to call it, but I figured it out all by myself. 
• I started rereading The Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter to prepare for United We Spy's release. I'm full of nostalgia, happiness, and when I get closer to the end: sadness. 
• Reading relaxing things such as Cover Snark or reviews such as Gillian's latest one. 
• My dad showed me a really great read on typography. Worth it. Here's the link. 

However, today is September 1st. Meaning, it's my little sister's 14th birthday! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, S!
Aren't we cute? Well, she is at least (on the right). 

Did you have a good August?
