Meaghan runs the blog A Bookworm's Haven, which is AWESOME. Go check it out. And here's my retrospective:

Monday- I reviewed Ascendant by Diana Peterfreund, which has gotten no comments! What's up with that? Go show it some love!

Wednesday- I posted the 12th edition of Ask Book Chic and am running a contest that goes until 11:59 PM on October 5. The prize is an ARC of Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins and all you have to do to enter is ask me a question to use in future editions of Ask Book Chic! So go enter!

Thursday- I reviewed Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay, which is out in stores now. Note: This is an adult book.

Friday- I posted my Fragment Friday, where I read an excerpt from I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett.

Saturday- I reviewed I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett, which is out in stores now.

  2. oh you have so many books I am longing for! Jealous!

    BTW I am almost 100% sure I commented on your Ascendant review, maybe blogger is now eating your comments too. I'm going to try again now.

  3. Revolution is REALLY good! I don't know your reading taste well enough to say for sure if you will like it, but I was really sucked into the story - especially to the historical fiction sections and historical fiction is generally not my favorite.

  4. I REALLY want that copy of Anna. I have to wait until November, since it releases in Australia (Penguin) in January and that's when they stock the final copies, I believe.

    But yeah, anyway, great books as always. Really excited to read Rev, as well as Unearthly!

    Check out what I got this week here
