The Weekend Update - 2.7.15

So, since my end-of-the-week post isn't just about what I got in my mailbox or on my Kindle each week -- though that is a big part of it, I won't lie -- I decided to change up the title and intro a bit.  I might tweak the format a bit over the next few weeks, but for the most part, it'll contain the same stuff: stuff I got, stuff I did, and stuff that's coming up on the blog.  Plus, I get to use the awesome GIF you see here and blow kisses to all the people who sent me lovely books and bookish things.  Oh, and I've started linking up to Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews since I'm not using a specific meme title anymore.  April's also doing her own Stacking the Shelves posts on Sundays.  Stop by and say hi!  =)

It's already February...where did January go?!? Not that I'm complaining...only one more month till Spring Break and Katie's birthday trip to Disney World/The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!! She's turning seven and we thought what better way to celebrate? ;0) We're all so excited...even my older sister is tagging along because she's almost as big of a Potterhead as I am and with no kids of her own, she figures this will be her only opportunity. Happy to help her realize her dream, lol!

Anyway, it was a quiet week around here, book-wise and otherwise. Here's what I scored this week:

For Review:

Nada! With everything I've received for review in the last few weeks, this is a relief! :D

Won:



Ensnared by A.G. Howard - I won a Goodreads giveaway! Woot! I already listened to the audio and was pretty happy with how the series ended. How about you?

Purchased:



Invaded by Melissa Landers - audiobook

Library:



All Fall Down by Ally Carter - audiobook
Fairest by Marissa Meyer - audiobook (I received a finished copy from the pub but I don't know when I'll get to it, so audio it is!)


So, that's my haul. :) How about you? What did you get this week?

Jen's Currently Reading/Listening To:

This. Is. HAPPENING!!! I just finished my re-listen of the previous two books -- plus ALL THE FEELS -- and I don't think I can wait a second longer to find out what happens to Scar and Rob and pleasepleaseplease don't let that thing that happened be real! I'm as prepared as I'll ever be, which is to say, not prepared at all.

I've loved seeing everyone's reactions to Levana over the last couple of weeks and I need to see the level of her crazy for myself. I wasn't expecting to feel sympathetic toward this villain, but I did think she might show some level of decency. Guess not! :P
