  1. WOW,is an understatement. How do you know where to start with all these great books? I'm really looking forward to Abandon. I read Chasing Fire and really enjoyed it. It's such a great mother's day gift + it's signed.

    Happy reading and have a great weekend :-)

  7. @Safari Poet: I just pick them based on my mood! I've already read quite a few of the books from this post. I'm actively reading another, JUNIPER BERRY, right now. Sometimes it can be hard b/c I really want to read something, but I have obligations to read something else and they fall to the back. Such as some books from March! I'm really looking forward to ABANDON, too. And wasn't that a good Mother's Day gift? My mom really loved it. I adore the way BN does autographed books sometimes. That's how I got THE LOST HERO by Rick Riordan lasa fall! I hope you had a great weekend, too!

  8. @Bookish Brunette: I'll let you know how it is! I can't wait to get into it. I'm waiting until I have more "Free" reading time b/c I know I'll want to re-read THG. Heck, I already do!

    @Grace: It was great to meet you as well! I hope you enjoy your new titles from the other day--and BEA!

    @Vy: Everything I've read so far has been excellent. There's so much left that I still want to read! I only have the patience to do these posts once a month, lol!

    @Majanka: I know, they really stacked up, didn't they? I thought April would be a slow month for books...I'm excited that you liked GIRL WHO WAS ON FIRE. I'm waiting until I can re-read THG. I already want to, and know these essays will make me want to even more! (What is GFC?)

    @Small Review: Yay, that's what Steph Su said, too. I'd never even heard of the books/author, so I can't wait to see what I'm missing!
