The Weekend Update - 11.15.14

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!  =)

Ugh. I've been sick all week, so I haven't been around much. Haven't read much. Haven't moved much, if I'm being honest. BUT, I did catch up on over 20 hours of DVR'd programming, including Once Upon a Time, Reign, and The Vampire Diaries. So, I feel accomplished. :D And hey, I might even do a post about it!

From now until the end of the year, at least, I'm going to be taking it easy like this. You can read more about me and April's step back here. We're not going anywhere...we just need to refocus on why we started blogging to begin with: our shared love of reading. Which I will be doing plenty of now that I can see straight again, lol.

Anyway, here's what I scored this week:

Library:

Three great audiobooks from the library, yay! I already listened to  A Little Something Different. It was just the adorable I needed in my life at just the right time. I had an ARC but I didn't get to it before the release date, so I decided to grab the audio and it was a GREAT decision. The squirrel was probably my favorite "narrator". :) I read and reviewed The Kiss of Deception earlier this year, but with the cover reveal for the sequel this week, I was anxious for a re-read/listen. I had thought that the audio was a full cast, but not quite. Still, very good. =) I also have a galley of My True Love Gave to Me that I'd been putting off till closer to the holidays, but they're almost here, so it's time. Since the audio was available from my library, though, I'm going that route. :0)

For Review:

Nada. =)

Purchased:

Zilch. :)

Won:

Nothin'. :D

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

Jen's Currently Reading/Listening To:

LOVING this sequel to maybe my favorite YA sci-fi tale. That Jubilee Chase is one amazing heroine...a real spitfire. Flynn isn't so bad, either. I love how this novel is so different from the first collab but feels similar enough to be familiar.

I felt like everything about this week(end) should be comfy and cozy, so it's time for a re-listen of one of my favorite novels this year, especially as I eagerly anticipate the follow-up to it.
