Our Broke & Bookish book haul is inspired by memes like IMM & Stacking the Shelves & Mailbox Monday. This is just our very simple way of doing it collaboratively so we can participate in all of them and not have to choose one.
Five Summers looks really good! I love summer books AND friendship books!
ReplyDeleteI also got an ARC of Panic this week ... I can't wait to read it!
Happy belated birthday! Enjoy all the books. :)
Amazing haul! Here is my small haul: http://booketta.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/freebies.html
ReplyDeleteGoodness that's a lot of books. It's a good thing there are two of you! I bought Unbreakable this past week, but haven't started it yet. I am trying to read more of the ebooks that have been sitting on my ereader for forever first.
ReplyDeleteTen by Gretchen McNeil is very good.
I got Infinite Moment in my haul, too! Ten is great and Dear Killer sounds amazing! DK was written by a teen author, right?
