THIS WEEK IN BOOKS

Currently Reading I finished Tell The Wind And Fire and have moved on to...

• Map of Fates by Maggie Hall
• Gotham Academy Vol. 1: Welcome to Gotham Academy by Becky Cloonan, Brendan Fletcher, and Karl Kerschl

Books Borrowed And Bought It was an absolutely glorious week for library borrows! At the same time, I wish all of my auto checkouts hadn't occurred all at once because now I have to either listen to my audiobooks faster or listen to more than one at a time in order to finish them all in the allotted time. And I'm not too fond of either of those choices...

PERSONAL AND BLOGGING NEWS

*Sigh*...

Welp. Another week passes me by, uneventful. At least in my personal life. Blogging life is a whole other story, though.

This past week on the blog marked the beginning of an incredibly busy blogging month! The week started off great with a guest post by and interview with J.A. George, the lovely author of Gifted. And the roller coaster ride zoomed off from there! The work week ended with my posts for the The Way Back to You by Michelle Andreani and Mindi Scott blog tour and the Girl About Town by Adam Shankman and Laura L. Sullivan blog tour. So you can see it was hectic! But it was all fun in the end.

I had a ton of fun over at Book Conversion this past week as well. Claire and I sorted the characters of M:aggie Stiefvater's The Raven Cycle into Hogwarts houses and got into a debate over most characters. It got a little heated! It was so much fun, though.

This coming week should be pretty chill as well, except for the fact that I have another blog tour post due Sunday. But otherwise I can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

So how about y'all? Anything happen to make you over-the-moon happy? What splendid plans do you have for this week! Tell me everything in the comments!

Over And Out!
