Sweet glad you joined, I made it for March so that people could plan ahead and review ARC's around it. Did you request Taken? I think its on netgalley.

You got Taken? The Taken that's been my WoW twice? *cries* I'm not your friend out of book jealousy! lolz
I went gaga over Breathe and it was a kinda DNF for me. I'll go back to it and see if its a total dnf'er.
my books r from Halloween till now. I'm glad feed burners alive and well. I heard it was extinct. I'm glad, I don't want a new one till necessary. Feedcats good though.

Actually it works ok for me, as my daughter works the morning shift and I get up with her and my hubby sleeps in till 9, it's his Sunday thing...LOL

Well it is actually okay if I remember to add my link when the post goes up at ten pm my time but the other problem with that is by the time I get to my blog I have 20 comments and I am behind. Sundays sometimes are hard blogging days because weekends are devoted more to family time so don't change it on account of me. You might find it easier on you if you make it live a little earlier on Saturday night then you don't have so many comments to follow up on the next morning.

Oh you can still be moody with your picks so long as you already own the book..LOL

I want Taken....and I love that cover of Shadow Lands. I may join the TBR challenge, but I'm such a mood reader....it would be a tough one for me LOL.

It's so awesome that you won a whole series! Now if you love it a lot you can just power right through without having to rush to get the next book. I got Cupid's Christmas this week, so my review should be up in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of it.

I can't wait to see what you think of The Darkest Minds (which has had great reviews so far!) and Shadow Lands. The covers for those too are brilliant.

Enjoy!

I know I keep forgetting to add my link and being on the West Coast I am always behind everyone else. I am looking forward to the Christmas book you have scheduled for next week. I need some cute Christmas books. This past reading week just was bad for me. Sigh. I just got approved for Taken as well and hoping for a good read. Oh and I have Ella and Micha scheduled for Fire and Ice with Jessica!

I've come to the sad conclusion that I'm not a huge fan of dystopia. It's kind of a bummer b/c there's so many books that everybody raves about that just won't flip my switch. Total bummer!! Like Taken - that cover is absolutely stunning! I'd buy it for the cover alone.



So many great books this week - I'd love to see where you keep all these books!!!!! Seriously!!!! :D


Have a great week!!
