The Weekend Update - 4.19.14

Saturday, April 19, 2014 with 21 comments
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!  =)


Hope you're all having a fantastic Easter weekend! I'll be spending time with the family, coloring eggs, hunting eggs, eating eggs, etc. You know the drill. :0)

Anyway, here's what I scored this week:

  18. I should probably consider a reread of Arclight before I read the sequel but I know I won't have the time. Here's hoping there is a bit of a recap because it is one of those more complicated stories. lol
