So, it's really awesome to be sitting here right now because last week...I graduated! I'm happy to say that I am officially a high school graduate, now a college student. Feels great not to have anymore homework! haha I originally had a video to share, but read the reasoning below as to why you can't see my graduation fun.
I actually had a vlog showcasing the three weeks worth of books that I have to share with you, but a thunderstorm cut out my electricity for about five minutes last night and it deleted my vlog. I'm sorry, cover photos will have to do! With that being said, this was a really amazing three weeks because so many surprises showed up on my doorstep!

Library
The Art of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar (story just wasn't for me, did not like even though it has genies!)
Shadowlands by Kate Brian
Borrowed from Friends
Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines (Thank you, Jennifer!)
Never Too Far by Abbi Glines (Thank you, Christy!)
Going to be honest and say these books disappointed me in every imaginable way after all the hype surrounding them. Did not like this new adult series, at all.
My First Ever Acknowledgment
In 2012, I reviewed SANCTUM by Sarah Fine here on Tynga's Reviews. If not for me joining this blog tour, I would never have gotten as close to Sarah as I have. I'm very proud to call her a friend. And I'm even more amazed that she decided to put me in the acknowledgement section of book two, FRACTURED. When I noticed this in my ARC, I did the world's biggest happy dance! Thank you, Sarah! And for those of you who have not read this series, I highly suggest it!

I want to read For Darkness Shows the Stars so badly!
ReplyDeleteI saw people who received The Winner's Curse from BEA and apparently it's amazing so I hope you enjoy that.
Losing It is an absolutely adorable and insanely sweet book, I really love it and I hope you do too. Garrick Taylor omg <3333
A friend of mine recommended Twenty Boy Summer and From What I Remember to me, they're her favourite contemporaries so I've been meaning to check them out.
I also have Suddenly Royal sitting around waiting to be read!
Congrats on graduating, and for getting an awesome acknowledgement in a book! Very exciting! =D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting recognized and what an awesome stack of books you have. Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend!!

Those are both contemporaries I've heard amazing things about, so I traded for one and was shocked to have the other gifted to me.
I can't wait to read it! <3
Great book haul! I have Dirty Little Secret to read also. From What I Remember looks good. I loved Losing It and Faking It. Enjoy your reading.

ReplyDeleteSweet haul! 'For Darkness Shows the Stars' was my waiting on Wed pick!
ReplyDeleteIsn't WoW meant for upcoming releases? I thought it's been out for a while :o
ReplyDeleteWell I know the paperback version comes out on Tuesday and sadly I don't have an eReader. :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous new books...I'd like to read every one of them! And what great news that an author acknowledged bloggers in print...nice!
ReplyDeleteWoo, congrats on your first acknowledgement! :-D Some great looking books too... I've seen The Weight of Souls around on a few blogs now and am very intrigued.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Love your book haul. Never heard All The Truth That's In Me and From What I remember sounds for a fun read with 5 POVs. Added them to my TBR pile. Thanks for the new authors for me. Read a great swoon for Suddenly Royal and look forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteMy Book Haul
Oops sorry left an old link for June 9th. Here is my newest.
ReplyDeleteMy Book Haul
Great haul! I've so badly wanted to read For Darkness Shows the Stars. Whenever I remember to log on to the ARCycling, there is never any there I want, although I've donated a few. Very cool about your name in the book! I had that once in an ARC, but then when the final copy came out, they decided there were too many people to thank, and so it wasn't there. I was disappointed. Different situation than yours though, I was part of a start up publishing company, and one of many readers I guess, but not a friend of the author.
ReplyDeleteGreat great haul!!!! Happy reading and have a great summer!!!!

--The Next Chapter
Oh, I can't wait to read Taste Test.
ReplyDeleteNice haul for the week. A Darkness Strange and Lovely looks very interesting. I may have to check that out as well. Here's our list if you'd like to see it: BiblioJunkies Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! Congrats on graduating! A Darkness Strange and Lovely has an amazing cover-I will have to look into the book on goodreads. I just finished Losing It. Really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteHere are my newest additions.
