    OMG! You have a baby! She's beautiful! You got married! Congratualations! That's a lot of exclaimation points!

    And, you look gorgeous, but my answer in these situations is always cut the hair. New looks are fun!

    Arrhh Baby Lily is so cute!
    I got The Golden Lily last week and loved it; glad you enjoyed it too. I also have Grave Mercy which I want to read; heard really good things. I'm so jealous that you have Prodigy. I really want to read it! I want to read Girl of Fire and Thorns too! I can't give any advice on hair; sorry, I'm the worst person to ask.

    What a happy baby :). She is so cute.
    When I had my first I was 26 and had very long hair. I cut mine to chin length when he was 6 months old. The longest I've grown it since is 3 inches down my back. People told me cutting it would make things easier - don't believe them. Long hair can air dry and be pulled back in a moments notice. Shorter hair has to be styled. I'd stick to the longer hair while still in your 20's :).

    I am so jealous of Prodigy by Marie Lu! I requested an ARC, but I wonder if I'll actually get it, being right after BEA and all. But I'm crossing my fingers! You got a ton of great books and it's so convenient that you have a paperback of Grave Mercy and your friend has a hardcover! :)

    Oh Lily is uber-cute, and a bit bigger each time I see her. You have such beautiful hair, it being longer is actually easier that it being shorter with a little one. Wonderful books, I'm going to have to check out some of those.

    Wow, you got some great books this week! And your daughter is too cute. Thanks for sharing the video with us! As for your hair, my hair was about your length and I did go ahead and cut some of it off. It made it a lot lighter, and easier to pull back. I took about three inches off, which put it below my shoulders. So I say go for it! Less weight for the summer and all. :)

I'm still a little late in the Sherrilyn Kenyon series but I can't wait the Acheron book.

    And re: the existential question: Cut, Cuz, Cut! :-D Lol, I'm quite brave when it comes to hair since it grows back quite fast, so whenever I feel like a change I have it cut. Right now I have had my hair cut like this: http://www.feelny.net/photo/Katie-Holmes-hair83790.jpg and really enjoy it, especially for the hot summer weather. It's a great way not to get bored with how you look, so I urge you to do it :-)

    So many of those books are on my wish-list ! :D
    That ABC book for Lily-Ann is just too adorable. I used to have them too when I was little and my mom still keeps them. :) It's going to be a while until she can use it though ! :P
    I'm so glad you loved Grave Mercy. It's one of my favorite reads of this year !
    I bought my copy of Golden Lily this week too and you're right, it was much better than Bloodlines. Bloodlines was also a slight disappointment for me so I'm glad GL was better.

    A haircut below your shoulders will look good on you although the long hair suits you as well. :)

    Lily Ann is an adorable little thing. <3
