It's Friday! Have You Turned Into A Book Yet? [7]

I skipped last week because I had family visiting and a book signing to go to, and I honestly forgot about this. Sorry.

"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.

(P.S. What do you think of my new little button ↑ ?)

I haven't gotten very far into it (like only 10 pages), but so far I'm liking it.

I still haven't finished this. And I probably will end up marking this DNF-For-Now.

 

As you'll see in "TBF Left Me Hanging," I just picked this up, and, knowing me, I'll get on another ContempRomance kick after Amy & Roger, so figured I might as well start this before I forget about it.

I still haven't read this, and I ended up *cringe* seeing the movie before reading the book.

Loved. It! Ugh, it was just so good, I don't even know what to say, other than Go. Read. Now.

This book. . .WOW. It was so amazing. I loved it just as much as Grave Mercy, which, while that's what I was hoping for, I didn't think it would happen, because I LOVE court intrigue, and this book focused more on Sybella's feelings than court politics.

I am so happy about find Dance with a Vampire! Awhile ago I started collecting old editions of books that got their cover changed, and with DwaV I only need to find a hardcover of Vampire Kisses (book 1) to complete my Vampire Kisses collection. Also, I found it when I went to Ally Carter's signing in Lansing (which is how Perfect Scoundrels got to be signed), and I must say, Ally. Is. AWESOME!

This week I've just did a title and link to the various Book News.

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.

That's me, trying to look excited for the picture.

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!)

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!)

Reading this for the 3rd time. I love this book soooo much, and it seems to get better every time I read it.

I started this on the plane last week, but after I got Gates of Paradise from Books of Wonder, I just put it aside.

Finally got the ARC I won, so I hope to start this soon.

I still need to read this, and I only have 2 weeks left. Gah!

O. M. G. This book was AMAZING! And I can't believe the series is over!! Uh, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. *sob* No more Blue Bloods!! (Well, there is a spin-off coming, but not for a while :( .)

I loved it! Just what I needed to get over the end of the series. The art is gorgeous, and it was adapted very well!

There were so many cover reveals this week that if I listed them all here the "Book News" section would be longer than the rest of the post! So I decided to just recap all the cover reveals over in a "Exciting Book Stuff" post. You can find that post here.

Jodi Meadows revealed the trailer to her recently released Asunder, book 2 in the Newsoul trilogy. Check it out below.

Courtney Allison Moulton revealed the trailer to her recent release, Shadows in the Silence, Angelfire book 3.

Three new Unravel Me spoiler videos were unveiled, "Infomercial," "Household Products," and "I Wrote a Song for You." HuffPost Books posted "Household Products," as well an interview with Tahereh Mafi. Examiner.com posted "I Wrote a Song for You." The videos are below, and remember they are SPOILER vids, so watch at your own risk.

That's everything. See y'all next week!
