It’s a SNOW DAY 🙂 It hasn’t snowed a lot for quite some time lately because it’s been TOO COLD (-30 ish type of cold) so I was so excited to wake up this morning to a snow day! We had a few errands to run today but we have decided to put them off until tomorrow and just enjoy relaxing indoors. I’m finally starting to get over this hump of sickness I have been battling for nearly two weeks. It’s a terrible winter for colds!! I didn’t get a lot of books these past few weeks, but a few of my requests from a LONG time ago came in so I was pretty excited about that! AND… today is Bloggiesta! I have a small task list to try to get through, so hopefully I will because I am also participating in the My Life Next Door Read Along. Once again, I’ve tried to do it all lol. Now… onto the books!!
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
*Purchased at Indigo Spirit
Oh, yes… that is Siege and Storm which can only mean, I READ SHADOW AND BONE! And yes, I freaking loved it. I can’t start this till probably the first week in February but I wanted to pick it up because the second I have a free book moment I am starting this baby. Ah. Darkling.
Lies You Wanted to Hear by James Whitfield Thomson
*Borrowed from the library
I was on hold for this one at the library for a few months so I was happy that it came through! One of my goals this year is to read more adult fiction and this sounds absolutely fantastic! I will be starting this one tomorrow 🙂
Believe by Erin McCarthy
*Pre approval on Netgalley for review
Witchstruck by Victoria Lamb
*From Harlequin via Edelweiss
The Summer I Wasn’t Me by Jessica Verdi
*From Sourcebooks via Netgalley
Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern
*From HarperTeen via Edelweiss
This entire pile was a surprise because I hadn’t intended on getting any eARC’s this time. Believe was autoapproved on Netgalley so of course I had to snag that one. I LOVED True so I can’t wait to keep going with this series (well.. I need to read Sweet first :P). Witchstruck was a long time request that came through so I am SO happy about that! Tudor witches, yes please! The Summer I Wasn’t Me was another one that was a long time request and I honestly didn’t think it would get approved but it DID! I am so excited, I loved Jessica Verdi’s debut novel so I can’t wait to read her second. And finally, Say What You Will. I freaking SQUEALED when I seen this on Edelweiss! It sounds so interesting, and a great new contemporary so I had to get it as it’s been on my wish list since it was announced.
Melissa Explains It All: Tales From My Abnormally Normal Life by Melissa Joan Hart
*Borrowed from the library
I have been on hold for this audiobook FOREVER! When it finally came through I could have screamed honestly. Melissa Joan Hart was one of my favorite childhood actresses, I loved her in both Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina(of course I loved Sabrina :P) so when I seen that she had an autobiography I couldn’t resist. The audiobook is narrated by her so it’s going to make it even better. I am actually going to be listening (and hopefully finishing) this one while I’m working on my Bloggiesta tasks!
What did you get this week? Have you read any of these titles yet? Did you love them/hate them? Link up!!!
I liked Siege and Storm, but I LOVED The Summer I Wasn’t Me. It is such a great book! Even better than Jessica’s first book! Great haul, enjoy your new reads!
I can’t wait to read them both Bieke 🙂 Thanks for stopping in!
Ooh, I’m excited for you to read My Life Next Door! I enjoyed it a lot for the most part. I’m also really excited for you a review on Shadow and Bone… I’ve been meaning to read that for a while now!
I finished it already 🙂 And I really really loved it!!! OOOH! Seriously, just read Shadow and Bone. I put it off for so long and I really wish I hadn’t. It’s absolutely as good as everyone says!!! Thanks for stopping in Kaitlyn 😀 😀
I haven’t read any of those and the only one I’ve heard of is Siege and Storm. I’ve wanted to read Shadow and Bone for a while, so hopefully I will soon (: Great list! So glad you got some books that you’ve been waiting for! I wish it would snow here too, but like you, we’ve just had terribly cold weather (I’m from Wisconsin). Enjoy the snow!
– Tina
I highly recommend getting to Shadow and Bone 🙂 It’s SO worth it! I’m glad I put it off this long though so the wait won’t be too long before the third book lol. OH! Yes, the cold is just uhh.. I was so happy for snow. And luckily it snowed right through the whole weekend 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping in Tina!!!
I had the same reaction to seeing SAY WHAT YOU WILL on EW too! I’m so pumped to not only read that book, but to see it in person. I’m kind of in love with the cover!!
Check out my StS: http://wp.me/p46UFY-11R
Oh yes, the cover is fantastic!!! And it just sounds SOOO good, and different too which will be a wonderful mixup to the regular contemporary floating around!!
Witchstruck was awesome. I really enjoyed that book. Come visit me as well.

Leydy @ OUaT & Redcarpetendings
Thank you so much Leydy 😀
MeiA looks like fun! I hope you can stop by mine.
I’m reading it right now,and it is SO fun! One of the best audio books so far, as I have no luck with them! Thanks for stopping by!
These look fabulous! I really want to read The Summer I Wasn’t Me. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂 My StS!
Thanks cait 🙂 I can’t wait to start it… it won’t be for a bit though sadly.. I have to read a few others before that =P
Siege and Storm is FANTASTIC. I enjoyed it much more than Shadow and Bone, and that’s because of Sturmhond. STURMHOND. Forget the Darkling, Sturmhond is the bestest person in this series. I adore him. I’m trying very hard not to fangirl right now.
YES! I heard about this Sturmhond character and I cannot wait to discover him 🙂 I heard he was very witty so I’m really looking forward to him! I’m hoping by midweek I can squeeze this one in because I NEED MORE 🙂 And P.S. Fangirl all you like… I feel like it now too just from your comment! Thanks for stopping in Amber!!!
I wasn’t too impressed with Witchstruck, but hope you have better luck with it! 🙂
Awe 🙁 I hope I do enjoy it as well… I’m not having a great amount of luck with witch books lately :/ Thanks for stopping by!
I had no idea Melissa Joan Hart had written an autobiography. I was a huge Sabrina the Teenage Witch fan when I was younger.
Enjoy your week.
Thanks Sarah, you as well 🙂
I didn’t know either, I randomly came across it somewhere (I can’t remember now, but I think it might have been in a magazine!). I’m nearly 50% through, and I recommend it, it’s really quite funny … especially since she is narrating! Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, I have The Summer I Wasn’t Me for review as well. I hope it’s as good as it looks. Happy reading! My STS
If her first book was any clue, this one will be fantastic as well 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Jillyn!
STUUUUUUUURMHOOOOOOOOND.
That’s all I really had to say. Just Sturmhond. Because he’s amazing and adorable and super piratey awesome.
YES!! i’m so excited to meet this lovely gentlemen!! Everyone says so many awesome things <3
I am looking forward to hear how you like Melissa Explains It All. I loved her shows when I was younger too!
I am about 50% through and LOVING IT!!! Seriously, I definitely recommend reading it (or listening!!) it’s a good one!!
Great haul! Glad you got to enjoy a nice snow day indoors. I don’t think I could handle it if it was that cold here, I hate the cold. I hope you enjoy your books 🙂 My STS.
Ah, most people do hate the cold, I’m just the weird anomaly lol. Thanks for stopping <3
Yayyyy for reading more adult fiction! Cassie will also be in heaven with that plan 🙂
OH SHE IS!!! I need to read a few of her adult recs. Especially Nowhere but Here? Gosh, I don’t even think I’ve said that name right lol.
