*Recommendation of the Week*

23551456

This anthology seriously deserves ALL THE STARS. It really showcased speculative fiction at its best in both written and graphic form. Watch out for my review coming tomorrow!

*From The Interwebs*

*Haul*


  • A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas - I am SO EXCITED TO READ THIS!!! That is all.
  • Havoc by Jane Higgins - I haven't read the first book in this series, but I'm still interested to see if it makes a good dystopian. 
*Other News*

It was nice to take a break from studying by going out for dinner at a Teppanyaki restaurant for my friend's birthday. Who knew having food being thrown at you would be so much fun!? Anyway, schools back on and in full swing, and I'm inundated with work to do already, so things might be a bit quieter on the blog for a while.

How has your week been?

  1. I hope you're enjoying the Veronica Mars books :D

    Hmmm Wild Reckless sounds like it'll be a good one, guess I'm adding that to my wishlist!

    Good luck with school starting again (such a joy, isn't it?)

  3. Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean sounds like an amazing anthology, and the cover is absolutely gorgeous. AHHH! A Court of Thorns and Roses! I love the mask that came with it; it's so cool when publicists send extra swag along. Good luck with school this year. I'm about halfway through my school year.

  4. ACOTAR! I haven't read it, to be honest but I've heard SO MUCH GOOD over it! Why not get excited, right?!

    My week has been boring tbh. I started second semester, which is both good and bad. I also got sick which isn't so good so I'm classifying this week as just uneventful.

  6. Ugh, Havoc is a sequel?!! Goodreads didn't say. NOW I'M SUNK. I wonder if my library has The Bridge then...*trots off to see* But yes, hehe, I have Havoc and ACOTAR too. I'm REALLY excited for ACTAR (haa, just a little) and I hope Havoc is excellent. It's not so huge, so I'll probably try reading it this week. ;-)

  10. Good luck with starting back at school, Eugenia! I hope ACOTAR lives up to your expectations. :) Eat in the Sky, Drink the Ocean isn't something I'd usually go for, being an anthology and all, but you've got me intrigued.
