Hey, everyone! I had an awesome time doing this week's STS post because I was able to do it with my best bloggy friend, Nicole! The video of us making fools of ourselves is so long (only 16 minutes!) that it couldn't upload to youtube and blogger can't support it as a file from my desktop, so unfortunately I just have pictures since I don't have enough time to get it to youtube. :( Bummer, right?

This week I was able to get my last few Hanukkah books, so it was pretty awesome and full of contemporaries. I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas!

Gifted from my Parents for Hanukkah:

Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder
Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder
Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Lola and The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally

Secret Santa

Smart Girls Get What They Want by Sarah Strohmeyer (Thank you, Ashley!)

Trade

Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman (Thank you, Leanne!)

For Review

Timeless by Alexandra Monir
Timekeeper by Alexandra Monir

Bought

Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi (e-novella, yay!)

I'm a 18 year old from a small town in New Jersey that's a newcomer to the book blogging world. Because I am an incoming senior in high school the closest thing that I have to a job is being a volunteer at the town library, so I spend most of my time reading and persuading my parents to let me buy more books!

  27. Yay, I'm glad Smart Girls Get What They Want made it safely to you! And I hope you love it, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it (wait, did I write that on the note to you, too? Doesn't hurt to say it again I suppose haha). One of my best friends - who is NOT a reader by any means - can't stop raving about the Poison Study series and I'm mega-curious about it.

    Happy reading, happy holidays!
