Christmas Book Haul

Macy's Christmas Book Haul

Signed Collection
(All of t he books below are signed by their author.)

1. Spirit: I read the first book in this series, Storm, and automatically fell in love with the Merrick brothers. This is a super unique, underrated book that demand more attention from readers.

2. The Vicious Deep and The Savage Blue: I met Ms. Cordova and she was one of the nicest authors I have ever met! I cannot wait to read her books. I will definitely be reading these this month.

3. The Fame Game and Starstruck: Yes, these are signed by the Lauren Conrad. This makes me very giddy and excited.

4. Cold Kiss: I like me a story about death with a mysterious turn.

5. Unbreak My Heart: I enjoy nice, sappy romances for summer. 

6. The Dead-Tossed Waves and The Dark and Hollow Places: I wasn't that into The Forest of Hands and Teeth, but I am hoping to care more about the characters in these books. I just haven't been that into the whole zombie phase.

Unsigned Collection
(Just plain ole amazing books.)

1. 21 Proms: Ha. Okay, so let me tell you how much I hated my experience at prom last year. I got stood up less than a week before prom and then my ex kind of ruined the actual dance for me. So it is only fitting that I buy a book about authors' tragic prom experiences. Please note though that I did in fact end up going to prom with Andrew, my bookish partner, and he made the night a bajillion times better than it would have been if I had gone with anyone else. Basically, I am ultimately glad that I went.

2. Ten Things We Did: Um. No comment at this time.

3. Incarnate: This books sounds so amazing! I cannot wait to dive right into this book.

4. Through Her Eyes: I love ghost stories and I absolutely cannot wait to read this one.

5. Dreamless: Loved Starcrossed so I cannot wait to finish up this series.

6. Forbidden: I am a sucker for a psychologically twisted book, and the romance in this book is more than a little perverted.

7. City of Glass: I am on a Mortal Instruments high right now. Don't judge.

8. Lola and the Boy Next Door: GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF YOUR HOUSE AND BUY THIS BOOK NOW. Okay, that is all.

9. The Treachery of Beautiful Things: Trees come alive, therefore this book is unique, and therefore I must read it.

10. American Sign Language Dictionary: I do know how to sign quite a few words and phrases and am hoping this book can teach me many many more.

In My Mailbox: Pre-Christmas Edition '12

AHHHH only 4 days till Christmas! I must admit I'm excited. I already got 8 books before Christmas, so I can't wait to see how many I get on Christmas. I assure you I will have another IMM for the end of the month. I already completed my 50 book challenge so I think I might up it to 55. I'm trying to read a book a day till Christmas so I have been really busy doing that! I got a new laptop with a camera so it will be much easier to make my YouTube videos. Expect many reviews from now until Christmas!

Let it Snow: Ahhhh I'm on a John Green high right now! He's such an amazing author. I so want to marry him! I'm going to start (and hopefully finish) this book today! I'm excited to see his writing with a Christmas feel to it.

Wake: This book sounds good. I never read a book by Amanda Hocking before. I found this book on sale and thought it sounded intriguing so I bought it. I really hope it is a good read.

Lullaby: I was super lucky to get a signed copy of Wake's sequel! Yay! I'm now 10x more excited to read Wake because I have a signed sequel! A picture of the signature is above! 

Fated: I have a love/hate relationship with Noel's Immortals series, but I really want to try this series. I hope it's better.

Burned: AHHH I love Pretty Little Liars. I heard this was supposed to be the last book, but no. Two more are on the way. I just finished this book today and it was pretty good. I should have a review up on it either later today or tomorrow.

Hidden: I cannot wait to read this book. I'm super excited for it, even though I always complain about how long this series is. I'm hoping to finish this one before Christmas. 

What Happens Next: Hehe I got a signed copy of this book yesterday! I started screaming when I found it. THis book sounds super intriguing, I really can't wait to start it.

So yeah, I'll be busy reading all these amazing, super awesome books. What's in your mailbox this week? Did you read any of these books? Please comment and let me know!

In My Mailbox: Black Friday '12 Edition

 

 

 

Yep... I know, I'm such a disappointment. I've been busy with my 10 tests I had to take last week (yeah, thanks a lot teachers...) and enjoying me break by reading and mock trial practice. At least I was able to escape a day from practice to go Black Friday shopping! It was my first Black Friday experience and it was AWESOME! I left at 11pm Thursday night and did not get home til 8 am Friday. Talk about an all nighter. I managed to buy 9 books though for just $20! How awesome is that? And they're super awesome books too!

 

Along for the Ride: I am a HUGE Sarah Dessen fan. So imagine my excitement when I find 4 Dessen books that I did not own and was able to get all of them for $8. I am sad though that I had to get the new cover of this book and The Truth About Forever, but for $2, who could say no?

The Truth About Forever: Hehe the main character's name is Macy.. 'nuff said.

Someone Like You: This book intrigues me greatly.

Dreamland: This book looks like a rough, emotional one to get through. I can't wait. Although I know this is a deep book, I keep singing Dreamland to the tone of "Toyland".

The Vampire Academy and Frostbite Graphic Novels: I read both of these in one sitting. They were pretty great! They are pretty much the Spark Notes version of the real books. They really reviewed those two books for me, which was pretty great. The artwork was beautiful and I would definitely reccomend them for all Vampire Academy fans.

Looking for Alaska: Hehe I would marry John Green if I could. He is so freakin hilarious! I have heard so many amazing things about this book. My lit teacher even reccomended it. I'm very excited to start this book because I read The Fault in Our Stars and absolutely loved it.  

An Abundance of Katherines: Hehe I'm reading this now. It really has me laughing out loud already.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson: Ah, a book by two of my favorite men. I adore John Green and I read David Levithan's Dash and Lily's book of Dares, which I definitely reccomend! I really cannot wait to read this one!

So yeah, I'll be busy reading all these amazing books. What's in your mailbox this week? Did you read any of these books? Please comment and let me know!

April In My Mailbox

YAY! It has been FOREVER since I have done an IMM. Trust me, it's not because I haven't gotten any books, but rather I've been busy. In this IMM I'm only going to spotlight the books I got in April!

The Fault in Our Stars: The reviews I have read on this book were so amazing that I had to read this the second I bought it!

It is definitely worth all the hype. (The book below The Goddess Test in the picture at the left is my signed copy of this book!)

Bittersweet: A book about figure-skating and cupcakes... what can be better?  


Lost Voices: What can I say? I'm loving books about mermaids. (Oops sorry forgot to add that one in the picture, my bad!)

Eve: I have heard a lot of mixed emotions about this book. It sounds intriguing so I'm going to try it! 


Starcrossed: I love me so paranormal! This book sounds like it puts a unique twist on the usual told paranormal romances.

I have a lot of books on my wishlist but this one really stuck out at me. It sounds a lot like Matched and since I really enjoyed Matched and the dystopian environment, I bought this book. I'm really excited to start it, and the cover is really intriguing. BUY





I've heard such wonderful things about this book. I read a sample of it, and was instantly captivated. I was going to wait to read this book a little bit later, but I just cannot stop reading it. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it soon and post a review. BUY 

If you've read my review of Twisted, you probably know how much I love the Pretty Little Liars books and tv show. I honestly can't believe I waited this long to get the Lying Game. I want to finish the two books that are currently out so that the tv show won't spoil me (it it happens to be similar). I have been watching The Lying Game, and LOVE it! This mix of mystery and romance is just so exhilarating. BUY

 I read the first Vampire Academy book, wasn't crazy about it, but after some persistent prodding from a friend of mine I finally bought this book. I'm glad I did because I loved it! I already finished it and plan to write a review soon! 

 While at the bookstore I just HAD to buy the 3rd VA book too! I only read a few pages so far but it's off to a good start!
















I've heard a lot of good things about this book so I decided to give it a shot. I also picked it because I luckily found it on sale. I can't wait to read and review it!

I was kinda curious about this book. It sounded interesting so I decided to pick it up. It seems like a nice change from my typical vampire/werewolf book.

I am super excited to finally get this book. I've heard many great things about it. I plan to review this as soon as I finish it!













The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson- BUY
I've been planning to buy this book for a long time and I finally got it! Yay! I just read If I Stay and loved the drama of a near death experience. I think this book will be similar to it in that way.
