And I actually have to put I'll Give You the Sun on hold in favor of some review books that come out soon, but I'll pick it back up ASAP. And I've already got Shimmer pre-ordered...I am so ready for more of those angel spawn badasses. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-76474076356989745912014-06-24T18:48:23.061-05:002014-06-24T18:48:23.061-05:00I can't wait to see what you think of Paper Va...I can't wait to see what you think of Paper Valentine! It's so different and written so beautifully. Plus the love interest is definitely not run of the mill variety. He's really adorable. :)<br />I'll Give You the Sun is on my very immediate TBR list too! Gosh, it sounds amazing. <br />I'm planning on ordering the first three books of Paula Weston's series next month - I've heard great things! <br />Happy reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307895303115762938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-43353580974031845692014-06-24T07:56:07.720-05:002014-06-24T07:56:07.720-05:00Eeek, the audio is awesome!

But Kristen Bell is fabulous as the narrator, but I'm sure you could guess that. :) R&R was exactly what I'd been hoping for and expecting, too, from that series.

I just read it for the second time so that I can finally review it. And I know! It'll be here before ya know it. I'm pretty behind on review books, too...just realized that instead of starting the one I wanted to, I have three that are releasing on the 8th that I need to make a priority.

YAAAAAAAS to Gallagher Girls, even though it IS the audio version. I'm kind of nervous that you'll hate it because 1. you might not be interested (NOT GONNA HAPPEN....no pressure) or 2. the narrator will ruin it for you. But I hope you love it!

I need to read Haze! here I thought I was almost up to date on books and then realize that September is actually rather close up. How has this year flown by so fast! I feel like I'm stuck in May.

I picked up Anne of Green Gables this week from Sync as well. I loved the book as a teen so it will be cool revisiting it as an adult.
