It's Friday! Have You Turned Into A Book Yet? [6]

Okay, this is going up later than usual, because the Book News section is really really really long and I didn't want to do it. (I know, bad me)

xXx

"It's Friday! Have You Turned Into A Book Yet?" is inspired by the #fridayreads Twitter meme, Book Journey's "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?", Should Be Reading's "WWW Wednesdays", Tynga's Reviews "Stacking the Shelves" and the various other book haul memes, and probably a few others I can't remember right now.

All covers/book title links lead to Goodreads.



Uggh! This book!! Almost every page hits me right in the feels. And I LOVE it (most of the time)!


I started this a day before Unravel Me came out and I started that, so I'm not very far yet, but oh my goodness I so badly want Bosque to go away. (Also, I love the book so far.)


I just got an ARC, and I am using all the willpower I have to not start this while I'm in the middle of two other books. So. Hard.


I was kinda meh about this book until I saw the trailer for it (released Tuesday, and included in Book News), and now I'm like, MUST. READ. NOW.


I re-read this for yet another time, and loved it just as much as the first time around! I can't recommend it enough, it's so AMAZING.

(Books/Stuff that came in the mail.)
That's me, trying to look excited for the picture.
Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers (signed ARC)

Dark Triumph came from Robin herself, because I won a trivia contest she held on twitter. (And she's holding another DT contest on her blog, ends Saturday, so go enter!)

(Books I bought.)
Once in a Full Moon by Ellen Schreiber
Torn by Erica O'Rourke

Salvation by Anna Osterlund

So my local indie was closing one of their stores, and having a big sale to get rid of stock, so I picked up The Friday Society, Witch World, Chime, and Once in a Full Moon at that store. Then I went to another of their stores so I could get Unravel Me and City of a Thousand Dolls, and while I was there I, of course, browsed the used books section and found Torn (which I bought because Susan Dennard rec'd it, and I have the third book sitting on my shelf), and Princess Academy. Then I got Salvation two days later at B&N.

Prepare yourselves, this week brought a bucket and a half of book news. And I put it under a cut, because WOW this section made the post long. (←And it's even longer than when I said that last!)
