Oh my gosh, you got two books I want soooo desperately: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and The 5th Wave. I hope they're both fantastic!
Ooh I'm so jealous you got Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea! I've had my eye on that for what feels like forever. I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope you're 100% very soon. Can't wait for the Clean Sweep Challenge! :-)

I've signed up for clean sweep too, Kimba and I'm also glad you are feeling better! being ill simply sucks! Really looking forward to your thoughts on 45 Pounds and Between The Devil and The Blue Sea - both books I want to read as well. Congrats on 300,000 pageviews! What an awesome milestone! *hugs*
Awesome week! I still need read your confessions post. Congrats on the page views! That's awesome :)
Glad you are on the mend. And you have The 5th Wave, I can't wait to read that one, sounds great and the early reviews are mostly positive. Looking forward to your take on it. I changed my IE settings but still can't comment on my computer, not to worry I can always use Chrome, plus I tend to mostly use my tablet anyway so not such a big deal. Thanks for looking for a solution though :-)
You always have amazing weeks in books. :) Hope you are feeling better and enjoy your new additions. :)
thanks Melissa :)
I thought I added my name to the challenge a long time ago, but I guess I didn't. Anyway I am all signed up. I hope to knock out a few but I have two sets of company coming in May and that always bites into the reading and blog. Anyway glad you are feeling better. Oh so jealous to see the Fifth Wave. I am dying to read that one!
thank Heidi, I am hoping to knock out a ton and free up my summer for the tbr pile!
Oh would you look at that; it IS the last weekend of April. Where does the time go? Glad to hear that you're feeling better. :)
ha...May is sneaking up on you, thanks Carmel!
I'm glad you're feeling better but don't rush it.
There's been a lot of buzz over The 5th Wave, I hope you enjoy it.
right..i am so excited to review it :) and trust me my body shouts loudly if it I push it too much!
right..that was so nice!
I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better. Look at all that swag! Hah. Great book haul, as usual. I'm looking forward to your reviews even more this week because I can't say for certain that I've heard of most of them! Happy reading, and continue to get well.
it's so much fun discovering new books, thanks Toni!
Yay for feeling better! Oh man, can't wait for your review of Invisibility. I want to read that soooooooo bad..
thanks sweetie and ya might as well pre-order it!*winks*
Wow!! You got lots of fun stuff!! Hope you enjoy it all!!
Glad to see you are improving too Kimberly!!
thanks Naomi, it feels good to be moving..slowly but moving!
*blushes* aww thanks Michelle
I have never read Cremer, so not sure how strong her voice is in this..but Levithan's voice and flow are present.
I tried her Nightshade series, which most people really liked, I stopped after the first one. Never read anything by Levithan though.
Ohh cover snarking! Heading over at once
I love that post :)
dang, I really wish they would fix it. I tried IE on all my kids laptops and was able to access the blog and comment. Hopefully they will sort it out. B&N online community just began using Disqus, so maybe the powers that be there will kick them into fixing it.
Congrats on winning the prize pack! It looks like fun! I did not realize you were not feeling well! I hope you finish recovering quickly! Good luck this week! I hope you get to read lots!
You had a great week of books and reviews! I hope you continue to feel better. Have a good week.
thank Jan, one day at a time is my new motto..LOL
thanks Jessica I am looking forwarding to reading them:)
Wow! Awesome haul!! Congrats on the win! Hearing a lot about Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea! Hope you enjoy all your new reads and goodies!
Here's my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Yay -- book twins :)
I also got Between the Devil and TDBS, 45 Pounds and The 5th Wave. Glad you're feeling better and hope you enjoy all your books!
wasn't that an awesome package to receive! Thanks Jen:)
thanks Tonyalee, hope you have a wonderfully bookish week!
EC was good! Hope you make your goals for Camp NaNo. Have a great week!
5th Wave is on my TBR as well, hope you love it.
thanks Brandi and ooh I have been hearing awesome things about it!
Nice haul! I really want to read both The 5th Wave and The Mystery Woman. Glad to hear you're feeling better. Have a great week!
thanks Catherine I am excited to read both :)
Great additions this week! And I can't believe that it is almost May either! Where did the month go? Or more to the point: Where has this year gone so far??!
Exactly Melissa!!!
you are welcome Grace and yes swag is cool!
Aww...I am still tickled that I got them. Hopefully they are good.
Glad you are feeling better!
Did Christy talk you into reading Sealed With A Curse? If so, yay! I hope you loved it!
I can't wait to see what you thought about Invisibility, that is one I really wanted to read and couldn't squeeze in.
Maybe I am not sure if it was her or one of the other peeps..but loved it I did!
lots of pretty stuff this week! I hope you enjoy The 5th Wave
thanks Lily, you need to create a profile for Discus and add a link! :)
thanks Marie. I am still quite week and tire easily, but oh man am I glad I stop hacking up my lungs, my ribs and muscles are finally starting to heal...LOL
I do a little happy dance every time i see them in my arc pile :)
Ooh, the new Amanda Quick! Can't wait to read that (except that I have to, as I'm on the library waiting list. Darn.) 45 Pounds (More or Less) looks good, and like something I ought to read; I've struggled with my weight all my life, though not as drastically.
And you had a good week -- I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, and I hope you continue to improve each day. Congrats on reaching 300,000 page views! Huzzah!
I love Amanda and of course you know I have mad love for Arcane, and this series has been quite good. I admit I would never have picked it up but am curious about 45lbs. Have a great week my friend!
I am really excited about reading those..lets hope they don't disappoint! Thanks Bekka:)
Looking forward to your review of Invisibility, have seen some mixed reviews for that one, and I'm really not a Cremer fan. Great book haul! Can't wait for 5th Wave and Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea!
thanks Kara, hope you have an awesome week!
A nice haul Kimba! I am so excited to read Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, it sounds amazing! I loved The 5th Wave, also some pretty wonderful swag.
Looking forward to your week ahead :-)
I'm pleased to hear you are feeling better & Congrats on your latest milestone, that's awesome!! x
thanks Sharon and I am so glad you loved 5th Wave..i cannot wait to read it!
ooh I am so jelly you read it already, I am working on cutting back arc's so I can get to some of my own books this summer!!!
PS: great hauls! I hope you are finally feeling better!
thanks Jennifer and from facebook I know you have been crazy busy:)
I need to go through all your posts and comment. I've been really bad lately (I mean, worse than normal!), lots going on at home.
Aww thanks Libby, since I post and schedule 3 weeks out, the blog continued without me and a lot of peeps had no idea i was so sick.
That's the way to do it! I LOVE when I can schedule things out in advance! I do hope you are healing nicely!!!! :)
Oh I love that little prize pack you won! I'm anxious to see what you think of Invisibility. I plan to read it this week (hopefully). Lots of great books here!
Enjoy it Candace!
You got so many great books! I'm so jealous of 5th Wave, and The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea sound great! Enjoy :) ~ Jen @ A Book and a Latte - Book Haul & Blog News
