My lovelies for the week:
For Review:
Glimmer by Phoebe Kitanidis
This is a duplicate copy, but it's a lovely finished hardcover, so be on the lookout for a giveaway of my ARC!

Silence by Michelle Sagara West
SO excited to read this one. It sounds amazing!

Black Dawn by Rachel Caine
Ok, so I've always wanted to read this series, but haven't yet. This came for review so I definitely want to read it, but sneaking in 12 books to my reading schedule is not gonna happen...who wants to fill me in on the series so far? xD Does it read like most YA series, where I would be completely lost if I just jumped into this one?

Huge thanks to HarperTeen & Penguin for these!!

That's all for this week!
If you haven't already, don't forget to enter my "In YOUR Mailbox" giveaway from last week for a huge stack of lovely ARCs!!

Not In My Mailbox...In YOUR Mailbox!!

ANYHOW.

I didn't actually get anything in my mailbox this week. Nothing for review, I didn't buy anything (pat on the head), and no moments of weakness at the library. I'm afraid I have nothing to show you, BUT...

So, nothing came in my mailbox this week, but thanks to this lovely posts at Stalking the Bookshelves, I did buy a few ebooks! SO, I'll just jump right into...

New On My Nook!

Bought:
Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta

I've been meaning to read Finnikin and Born at Midnight for ages, so when I saw the ebooks were only 3.99, I couldn't pass up that steal. Loved Aimee Carter's Goddess Test and I'm reading Goddess Interrupted this month, so I couldn't resist adding in the companion novella!

So my blog has been pretty quiet this week, and for that I apologize! But I have a good excuse,...more on that in a minute! This week in my mailbox, I got:

For Review:
Grave Mercy by Robin LeFevers

Beyond excited for both of these. I have heard some amazing things already about Grave Mercy and when reading the description for The Repossession, I literally got chills!

Many thanks to Hodder Children's and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for these!

New on my Nook:

Oppression by Jessica Therrien
I actually had a pdf copy from the author of this but I snagged a Nook copy when it was released because it's easier to read on my phone, which I've been doing a lot of lately! But GUYS, this book is awesome so far and right now, it's only 99 cents!! Go grab it! (amazon/barnes)


Ok, so now here's the reason I haven't been blogging much this past week and why my reading time has been limited!
Meet my new baby, Tucker!! ♥♥♥

He's a ten-week-old toy australian shephard. :) Cute as can be,..and yes, daughter and I decided to name him Tucker, like the Unearthly character. Why? Because his daddy was named "Cowboy", so of course, our favorite literary cowboy came to mind! Plus the first day we got him, he napped all day---he was all "tuckered" out.
I thought the name fit perfectly! ;)

Hope everyone had a great week!! Happy reading! :D
