I still haven't read anything by Patrick Ness, but there are a few of his books that really sound interesting. Maybe I'll get around to it soon :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
I hope you do Christy, thanks for stopping by :) Patrick Ness is an author who I just know will blow me away with this one!
DeleteCONGRATS ON 101 BLOGLOVIN FOLLOWERS!! *Showers you with confetti* Small?! Pfft. HUGE. I think I flailed ecstatically for weeks when I heat 100. xD Aaaanyway. Walker Books is clearly the best. I mean, they give us chocolate and publish books like I'll Give You The Sun. :') I love that book so incredibly much.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cait! I am very grateful for everyone that's supported me and my blog so far. I know, they are definitely special - such good books and chocolate I have to thank them for :)
DeleteYAY 100 BLOGLOVIN' FOLLOWERS!! That's a great milestone :) Oooh, I'm glad you liked I'll Give You the Sun - I'm reviewing it next week :0
ReplyDeleteIt is exciting! Just saw your review of I'll Give You The Sun, good to see you enjoyed it too :)
DeleteEek, The Rest of Us Just Live Here! It looks so gorgeous--and chocolate is the best. <3 Congrats on both of your milestones too! More to come in the future, for sure. :D
ReplyDeleteAimee @ Deadly Darlings
I definitely can't wait to read it Aimee! It looks very intriguing so far :) Blogging is a journey, and though followers certainly aren't everything it's nice to have these little milestones to show progress :)
DeleteCongrats on getting 101 followers on bloglovin and 500 twitter followers.
ReplyDeleteARC and chocolate, that's so awesome.
I saw the Lifespan of Star Light in my local bookstore and thought it sounded interesting, look forward to your thoughts on it.
Thanks Rochelle! I should have a review up for it soon, I'm liking it so far :)
DeleteGood to see you liked I'll Give You the Sun; I plan on reading that one soon. And ooh, enjoy The Rest of Us Just Live Here. It looks BRILLIANT.
ReplyDeleteIt was just amazing Kara! More Patrick Ness awesomeness is on the horizon I think.
DeleteYippee, congrats on the milestones Genie! That is fantastic considering you haven't had this blog for too long! How awesome that ARC came with chocolates, definitely does sweeten the pot ;) Have a lovely week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jeann - I'm surprised and elated at how it's done so far! The chocolate may or may not have been eaten already...
DeleteYou've already hit 100 followers? WHAT! That's insane! It look me ages to reach that. It's a testament to how awesome you are, like the pied piper of books, we'll just follow you wherever you go.
ReplyDeletePatrick Ness! And CHOCOLATE! YES! I got confused between the two and started gnawing on my book. But it's still readable. Have a wonderful week of reading poppet <3
Aww Kelly thank you for those kind words :) I just need a flute now or something to fulfill that properly...though I do have that old recorder from years gone by.
DeleteGlad to hear the book is still in good shape - hope reading the chocolate was worth it ;)
Ooh yes I cannot wait to read I'll Give You the Sun! It looks truly spectacular. And congrats on the milestone! The first 100 are always the hardest, IMO.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was for me Mel - I hope you love it as much as I did!
