Anyway. Haven't done a Weekly-Wrap Up in 3 weeks now, and while I will not recap everything since then, here are select posts from July you may have missed!

Because once again I gush over Ned Vizzini and how he was incredibly nice to me.
(And had tons of love for fellow bloggers!)
Tune-In Tuesdays: The Teenage Years
Three songs that reminded me of three boys from my teen years! Surprisingly emotional.
Five TV shows I watched. Chumbawamba, 2ge+her, and Dawson's Creek all in one post. YOU'RE WELCOME.

What's on your shelves this week?
Leave your link and I'll hop by!
I am dying to read Black City and Keeper of the Lost Cities. I've heard that the latter is really good.
ReplyDeleteYou got LOTS of awesome books this week! I'm jealous of all the book events you get to go to! I've never gone to one, but that's the downside of living in Wisconsin :\
ReplyDeleteBlack City and Rift are two books I've been pining for, ever since I saw Black City's cover, and ever since I heard of Rift's release! Shatter Me and Legend are two of my favorite books I've read in 2012! Have you read either of them?
Here's my Stacking the Shelves!
Happy reading!

*Cries* I want to read Black City so bad but the publishers never accepted my ARC request for it. (Personally I think it's because my blog isn't big enough so I'll probably try later.) But you got some awesome books and I LOVED Legend! :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Stacking the Shelves!
♥ I can't put into words just how much I loved The Age of Miracles!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously slacking - I either haven't heard of those books or I haven't read the previous one of the series. :( I'm super excited for Keeper of the Lost Cities, though!
Here's what I got!
The "Red Pyramid" is fantastic. I LOVE Rick Riordan. I hope that you really enjoy that one.
ReplyDeleteBook Gathering #11
