Thank You!

Let me just say this first. I have my reasons. Yes, that is Sweet Valley High.There will be no laughing. None. Again I have my reasons. If you must know, check out the Sweet Valley High on Forever Young Adult  Ok, you can laugh, but only if it is with me.

I jumped at the chance to get my hands on a box set of The Mortal Instruments box set from the Green Valley Book Fair.A few weeks back during the Spring Blog Carnival, I hosted the Karaoke Booth and several people wrote in about the hotness of Jace - and he's been mentioned on many a blog. I didn't want to miss out on his swoon-worthiness and now I don't have to.

Emily from Red House Books gave me Aces Up as a Random Act of Kindness. This was such a great surprise because I didn't know which book from my wish list she was going to send. When I send my RAK books out, I like to keep them a surprise too. I think Random Acts of Kindness is just wonderful  and is hosted by Isalys and Vanessa at Book Soulmates 

All in all, an awesome week of books. I can't wait to see the books everyone got this week. I'm sure there will be some impressive IMMs for all of those who attended BEA.

  2. No laughing at Sweet Valley. I have been eyeballing the latest Confidential and yet haven't picked it up yet bc I can't remember if I read these as a young girl? Will you be reviewing that Sweet Valley book?

  4. Great list, I haven't read any Lauren Barnholdt yet and I only bought my first Cassandra Clare this week (although I decided to start with Clockwork Angel). Have a great week and enjoy all these gorgeous books! P.S. That Sweet Valley High post is hilarious... When did the fated description come - page 1, page 2, lol. :) Good luck with the game!

  5. Wow you got some great book! I've read the first and second TMI books, but have yet to read the third or fourth, although I have the third. I want to savor the story!

    And I am totally not laughing at you with Sweet Valley! I totally loved that series a while back, but I misplaced all the books! (I'm pretty sure my dad gave them away to Goodwill or something lol!)

    Anyway, great books and enjoy!
