It's August. HO-LY CRAP. It's August! Where did this summer go?!? I think it's time to start playing the lottery. This working all the time thing is cutting into my having fun time. =) I seriously worked all summer. I don't even think we took our summer road trip down to Austin. To be fair, the husband was working six days a week, so there wasn't really any time to go anywhere. What are you gonna do, right?For Review:
click on covers to be taken to the Goodreads page for each book
The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes - Love JLB, and not just 'cause we have similar names. :) The summary for this one sounds great!
Look at me...only requesting one review book this week. And that was only 'cause someone mentioned it was up on NG. ;0)
Purchased/Audiobooks:

One review book and one audiobook. I think I am doing very well, if I do say so myself. I haven't bought a physical book in over a month. Never thought I'd say that!
So, that's my haul. How about you? What did you get this week?
The Week in Review:
Reviews:
Promotional/Discussion Posts: SYNC's 2013 Week 10 offerings are up for download, with Death Cloud and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes up for grabs this week -- FOR FREE! The Liberator Blog Tour hosted by YA Bound Book Tours has kicked off. And I helped reveal the cover for Blind Study, a friend of a friend's YA debut! Also, I teased Love in the Time of Global Warming, which Katie also told us her thoughts on, and I'm waiting on Enders this week.
Jen's Currently Reading/Listening To:
This book is just what I was hoping it would be: funny, sarcastic, witty, and real. I kind of miss the old cover and title, but these work well with the story, too.
Re-listening to this one so that I can get to my ARC of Fractured. This is one series where I don't want to forget a single detail.
The Week Ahead:
Reviews: Shadows, Love in the Time of Global Warming & The Beginning of Everything
And I shall be griping some more about my reading pile on this week's Symposium.

I'm so excited to start The Beginning of Everything soon!! Nice relaxing haul this week! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are doing very well. I'm very curious about The Beginning of Everything. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBeware, below is squealing about a certain book and I do not want to influence any expectations:
ReplyDeleteYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYA! You got The Naturals! I read it a few months ago and LOVED it. Don't know anyone who has read it though so you NEED to tweet me when you've finished, even if you hated it.
I want to read The Naturals! I hope it's wonderful. This summer went by way too fast. I can't believe it's August.

I didn't really do anything fun this summer either... just readreadread and blogblogblog. It's my last summer before I go to college... I'm being as lazy as possible. I don't really care about vacationing out of country or anything... just being lazy. And NOT spending money lol. My school is $63k/year.
ReplyDeleteAnyway! I have never read any of JLB's books! And I don't know if you've read/listened to Fire yet, but it's seriously my all-time favorite book. EVER. Hope you love it (if you haven't read it yet)!
