Happy mother’s day!! I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend and maybe your gift is an afternoon off like mine? Teehee. Oh and because I said I would mention it weekly–2.5 weeks before BEA! 😀

    Eeeek Fangirl! I’m embarrassed to say that I haven’t read E&P yet but it Fangirl sounds awesome. The finished copy for Gorgeous is, well, gorgeous! And Wait For You is a good read. How To love looks so fantastic! Happy reading, Giselle! You’ve got some awesome books ahead of you.

    Fangirl looks like something I’d love. I’m definitely preordering that baby! I also got the Confessions set for tour, hope you like them Giselle! Looks like this haul was infilterated with more contemps than ever- seeing as no other genre has been that promising.

    Awesome haul, hon! Hope they all come to please. <3

    I got an arc and tried reading Gorgeous, but it just wasn’t for me and I DNF-d it rather than suffer through and give it a bad rating. I hope you have better luck though! I’ve herd Wait for You is good, but the plot follows the same old, same old. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this one.

    Happy Mother’s Day love!! Hope that it is fabulous!! What a great haul!! I got a few of the same. 🙂 OMG I can’t believe that BEA is that close. I so wish I was going. Ahhhh Untold Tales Vol. 3!! I can’t wait to read that one!! I love everything having to do with the As the World Dies series.

    Awesome haul. Trying so hard not to get E-Galley’s at the moment because of BEA coming up. Gated looks awesome. Love the cover for Shadowlark. My Sisters Reaper has an awesome cover. Month 9 Books has amazing covers for their books.

    Wow… amazing haul! Confessions of an Angry Girl & Truly Madly Deadly are both high up on my wishlist! I also had no idea that Sarra Cannon was putting out a contemporary new adult, i just added that to my Goodreads. I really enjoyed her Peachville High series. I hope you enjoy all of your books and I can’t wait to read your reviews 😀

    You got so many great books this week. Super jelly over the Lerner ones. They have declined me again and I don’t know why. THEY HATE ME, G! I wanted Sex & Violence so bad. Okay, will shut up now.

    I am excited to hear your thoughts about Openly Straight and Gorgeous since they both interest me. Scholastic Canada is awesome to you!

    Ohh, great book haul! I can’t wait for Truly, Madly, Deeply, I was hooked after I read the summary.
    I recently got Wait for You and I hope to read it soon 🙂
    Can’t wait to read your thoughts on both of them and the Confessions of An Angry Girl/Almost Girlfriend.

  32. Dragana Mitrovic

    I’ve got review copy of ‘Dance of the Red Death’ & ‘How to Love’ too. And yay for ‘Fangirl’ – I can’t wait to read that one. A lot of interesting new books on your shelves this week. I hope you enjoy them all!

  33. Megan K.

    You got Fangirl! Requested that one a long time ago, but haven’t received a response yet. :/ I’m looking forward to your thoughts on Confessions of an Almost Girlfriend and Truly, Madly, Deadly – those two sound so good, especially the latter. I remember enjoying the first book of Confessions, so yeah! Great haul as always, Giselle. 🙂

  34. Micheline D

    Fantatic Haul! Even though I didn’t like Masque (otRD) I’m still really curious as to what fans will think of Dance… Shadowlark looks pretty awesome too!! Oh and I love the cover for Gorgeous! Now, I have to go find your review of Doll Bones next 😀 Congrats on all the loot!!

  35. Christina

    Whoaaaaaa, dude. That is ALL the books. I can’t even about how many books you have to read. I want someone to read Gated soon so I know if I should request it. *stares at you pointedly*

  36. Lauren Elizabeth

    That was a pretty epic review haul! So excited for all of these, but especially Fangirl and Dance of the Red Death. I got those too, and am trying my best to stay on track and not cheat on my TBR schedule with these. 🙂 Happy reading!

  39. Leanne Yang

    Confessions of an Angry Girl was really good, I haven’t read the sequel yet. Openly Straight looks kind of interesting though! 😀 Hope you enjoy these books!
