Slow week this week! So this is short and sweet! <– dude! I could be a poet!

    Is that your famous blue drink? I’ve heard about it on Twitter … 🙂

    Yeah James Patterson has written the Witch and Wizard series and it’s very quick with tiny chapters. Makes for easy reading, but it’s hard to put down! Touched sounds amazing, I think I already have it on my *want* shelves :p

    Love seeing your face, even for two minutes!!

    I saw Touched a while ago on Goodreads, so I’m really curious to see what you think of it! I’ll keep an eye out for your review. I won Confessions of a Murder Suspect, and I need to read it! I’ve currently loaned it out to somebody, I need to get it back… Anyways, I hope you enjoy both of your fabulous looking books!

    Fabulous haul Giselle! <3

    It’s 8am and I’m thinking I want a drink!! Now that’s the way to do a post!

    I’ll have to go check out Touched and Confessions b/c this is the first I’m hearing of them. Have a great week picking winners (it’s always fun making someone’s day!). No post for me today so don’t waste you’re time on me 😀

    Maria V. Snyder’s Healer series has the exact same premise as Touched. You should read Touch of Power, because it’s SOOOOO good.

    Patterson’s books are always like that. SHORT chapters. I think it’s to help reluctant readers.

    I enjoyed the vlog!

    A quiet week, perhaps, but those books do sound interesting. Touched makes me think of Touch of Power, which seems to have a similar healer based premise. I’ll likely check that out since I use to play healers in MMOs so books about them are extremely appealing.

    Here’s what I got. Let me know what you think. 😀

    @booktasty: Yes it’s YA 🙂 I finished it this morning and it was really fun!

    @speculatef & @Vegan YA Nerds: It’s just my own mix but it’s amazing! It’s Blue Curaco, Grape Sour Puss, and Sprite! 😀

    Awesome book week! Congrats on a fabulous anniversary week =) I am so jealous you have Touched! We interviewed Corrine today and I cannot wait to get my hands on her new book!

  32. Paige

    I’m so jealous of Confessions of a Murder Suspect! I’ve been wanting to read it since it came out! I love James Patterson’s writing! You should check out his Maximum Ride series it’s amazing! I hope you enjoy everything.

    I hadn’t heard of either of those before..lol Touched sounds pretty good, so I hope you enjoy it! I alos love James Patterson’s writing style, with how he makes the chapters so short, I feel like I’m flying through! I hope you enjoy it as well!

    Have a great week and happy reading!

    That drink looks yummy Giselle! 🙂 I’ve never read anything by James Patterson but I know he’s a very prolific and popular adult mystery writer. I’m interested to see what you think of his YA mystery. Nice haul Giselle. 🙂
