    Hereafter :D Wow it’s out early haha. It was a decent book, I loved Shadowlands because of the mystery so it’s completely different in Hereafter but enjoyable. Hope you enjoy all the books you got this week Kelly!

      Hereafter isn’t out early; it’s just the bookstore I go to sometimes has books out early. :P
      I hope Hereafter is better than Shadowlands; I didn’t really enjoy Shadowlands. D:

      I’m nervous to start and finish United We Spy. Once I finish it, there would be no more Gallagher Girls. ):
      I’ve been seeing mixed reviews of Wild Cards around, so I’m really nervous about that.
      As for Hemlock, I’ve already read it and loved it. :D

    It always give me joy whenever I read bloggers winning books. Gives me the hope that soon, I will win one as well. :) I have seen a few Ally Carter books in the second hand bookstore I always visit, and if I get to see one again, I might buy it.

    Rebel Heart just has the prettiest cover. I think I take it off my shelf just to look at it some days. Which is not that weird…hopefully ;)

      Yes, and the guy is just plain hot. ;D
      Somebody (I forgot who) told me that the guy on the cover of Rebel Heart is the same guy on the cover of Tempest by Julie Cross and Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles. It looks like she’s right.
      And it’s TOTALLY not weird. ;D

    Hereafter is amazing! I thought it was even better than Shadowlands. I’m also really excited to read United We Spy, although I’m sad the series is ending. I hope you enjoy all your books :)

    Ooh, you got Wild Cards!!! I’ve been hearing some bad things about it, but I hope you like it :D. I also heard some bad things about the Shadowland series, but the covers are so pretty I just want to buy the books.
    Hope you like all of your new books :D

    United We Spy… so many different emotions about the book even though I haven’t read it yet. I really want to read Hereafter too, but I still need to read Shadowlands – I’m kinda of slow with reading. Enjoy your books and happy reading! :)

      I didn’t really like Shadowlands, but I’m willing to give Hereafter a try. Hopefully it’ll get better.
