In My Mailbox

I've been on a book buying ban for a few weeks now and, shockingly, I've stuck to it! Mostly, I'm going to the Houston Teen Book Con next weekend know I will be spending a lot of money there. But I might make a post dedicated just to that, especially if I remember to take pictures. I'm really looking forward to it though! But in the meantime, here's this week's books, all of which I am crazy excited for!

    I should follow your lead on the book buying. Lately I've purchased

    The Dark and Hollow Places
    Shades of Gray
    Illegal
    Hex Hall
    Anna and the French Kiss
    Demon Glass
    The Giver

    but all so worth it!

    I downloaded Shift from S&S Galley Grab as well, it sounds like an awesome read. The Goddess Test is on my TBR list. Dark Water sounds interesting as well. Happy reading.

    Hahaha I would never be able to stick to a book ban! You must have a very strong will ;p. I may be going to the RT Teen Day this saturday in LA, and I know I'm going to spend waaay too much money. Did you end up going to the Texas one?

    I'm kind of late on commenting on IMM posts, but Shine and The Goddess Test are on my to-read pile. I really hope you enjoy those :D. And ooh, I had never heard of Putting Makeup on Dead People until now and it looks really intetersting! Thanks for sharing and happy reading :)!
