First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH BLOOMSBURY AND VICTORIA. Now excuse me while I dance some more over A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Darker Shade of Magic! -dances-

Ahem. Anyways, I couldn’t resist buying Seraphina and These Broken Stars, especially since it was 50% off.

A late thank you Kristen and Mary for your gifts! -pats all the books-

I was lucky enough to win Every Word and can’t wait to start the series and see what everyone else is talking about.

That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?

      I sacrifice a piece of my soul to the book gods. ;D
      Only a month and four months to go for A Darker Shade of Magic and A Court of Thorns and Roses! Don’t worry, you will LOVEEEEEEEEE them.
      As for Of Metal and Wishes, I haven’t read it yet so I can’t really give you my opinion of it yet. :P
      YESSSS. 2015 is off to a really great start!

    I can’t resist either when I see books for 50% off. I love the mask that came with A Court of Thorns and Roses. I hope you love all your new books this week.

    Like you I have added a number of books. My gift was an Amazon card. So far I have only a couple. Several ARC from Netgalley and a couple from authors. I try to read a library book an ARC and my choice in that order. I have some ARC being published next week.

    These Broken Stars was AMAZING. It also killed me in a way [crap, no spoilers!] I’ve heard of a Court of Thorns and Roses but I haven’t read anything else by that author. I KNOW I NEEED TO, RIGHT?!!!!

    You’ve got great books, btw

    I’ve read some LInda Howard books and I have liked them. I’ve never read that one, though, but I hope you LOVE it.

    Yay for These Broken Stars behind 50% off. You cannot go wrong with that.

      I’m obsessed with most things Linda Howard – I think only one book of hers has disappointed me? But yes, I’ve already read Escape and like most of Linda Howard’s other books, I really enjoyed it.
      YES. You can’t go wrong with any awesome book that’s 50% off. ;D<3

      There should be sales for books EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
      I wasn’t supposed to buy either of those, but -whispers- it was on sale!
      Yes, I saw! I’ve already read ACOTAR and it was pretty good. I just started ADSOM, but kind of landed myself in a book slump. ):
      You too Alyssa! ;D

    WOW SO MANY PRETTTTIIIES. Of course, I’m dying to get my hands on a copy of ACOTAR. And that mask is FIIERCE. I’m also dying to read Seraphina now that the sequel is almost out! I think A Darker Shade of Magic is going to be a fantastic read. I’m looking forward to your thoughts of these! Happy reading, Kelly! <3

      I was flailing and internally screaming (internally because if I actually screamed, my friend would have probably called 911) when I got ACOTAR. And that mask!
      I definitely need to read Seraphina again – it’s been two years since it was first released.
      YESSS. I’m about 1/4 into A Darker Shade of Magic and it’s so good so far!
      Thank you Jen! :D<3

      Eeep, I really wish I could share ACOTAR with EVERYONE, but with shipping costs, it’s just not possible. ):
      I haven’t read Of Metal and Wishes yet, but so far, A Darker Shade of Magic is really good!

      He he, my Till It Arrives GIF review for ACOTAR is up! My written review will be up in May though.

    Seraphina and Jellicoe Road are both books I have read and loved! I hope you enjoy them as well. This shattered world is one I want to read myself, so I look forward to seeing what you think of it as well. Of Metal and Wishes is also something I really want to read so I hope you enjoy it as well. Looks like some nice books here ^.^
