I somehow got lost in the process lol. I'd love to read something at the same time as you. Its always so fun, even though you read much faster than me.

Or no - you've changed that to a Monthly Recap, haven't you? Well, I'm pretty sure no one really cares what you call it so long as they get to gaze upon all the pretty books! I've been a bit insane about requesting books lately as well - I'm booked solid for the next few months pretty much! You've definitely piqued my interest with The Assassin's Curse!

I haven't read Meg Cabot's Mediator books; I'll check them out. The only other Meg Cabot I've read was Underworld and I thought it was so-so.

Throne of Glass was amazing!...What a great haul!! <br /><br />Throne of Glass was <i>amazing!</i> While I had some small issues with the plot, the characters more than make up for it. Especially Celeana! The interactions between them are just fantastic and oooooo so much love for this book XD<br /><br />I also have Glitch, the Darkest Minds and Blackwood. I've heard good things about Glitch and I loved Brightly Woven so I have high hopes for Darkest Minds! Though I totally agree that I wish it was high fantasy! Here's to hoping for a hate turned love relationship! XD But I'm kind of iffy on Blackwood. The only review I've read on it was a DNF so we'll see. <br /><br />And I'm so completely and utterly jealous of The Assassin's Curse!!! And Special-Shelf tinglings?!?! AHHHH must....get....this....<i>now</i>! ;) Great haul!!! <br /><br />All the best ♥<br />Mackenzie @ <a href="http://ohfortheloveofbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Oh, For the Love of Books!</a>Mackenzie @ Oh, For the Love of Books!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07601479928922791077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-66865066357734583612012-06-11T09:23:38.688-04:002012-06-11T09:23:38.688-04:00I love that cover for The Assassin's Curse.

I started watching it one day when I was home sick and there just so happened to be a free first episode of Downton Abbey. That's all it took. I'm addicted and CAN'T wait for Season 3. <br /><br />Lady Edith....I go back and forth with her. Of course she's a manipulative lying ho, but at the same time, I feel for her. She's always been in Mary's shadow and she is clearly the most plain of the three sisters. There is going to be much to look forward to with Season 3!Stephanie @ Once Upon A Chapterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668989877752439249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-49989662202812143652012-06-10T16:35:39.223-04:002012-06-10T16:35:39.223-04:00Great haul!

I just kind of hope she finds someone better than Peter Pan. Just saying. <br /><br />Shift sounds great because I wish I could do this all the time. It's why I used to read Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid. If I didn't like where the story was going, I'd go back and make a new decision. Did you know they have Choose Your Own Adventure-style books for the Kindle? I bought one. It's not exciting as it seems, since the story basically forces you in one of two directions. But, it was amusing for a bit. Huh. I should review it. <br /><br />I started Time Traveling Fashionista and then abandoned it, but I think you'll have better luck, since my reasoning was that it was a middle grade title rather than YA. I love Titanic-era books. Which is why the fact that I have yet to watch Downton Abbey is so bizarre.Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-83767917026398211752012-06-10T12:20:58.927-04:002012-06-10T12:20:58.927-04:00Loved this post!
