I'm Alison. I've been blogging for 11 months. I review mainly YA with a few MG books and a weekly manga feature.
It was a light week in book world for me. I chose to take mostly books I already had but hadn't yet read on vacation with me.
Bought
Harry Potter: Film Wizardry by Brian Sibley
Library Stash
Dark Lover by J. R. Ward

3. Exposure: A Novel by Therese Fowler
4. Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
5. Darkfever (Fever #1) by Karen Marie Moning
6. Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward
7. Switched (Trylle Trilogy #1) by Amanda Hocking
8. Die for Me (Revenants #1) by Amy Plum
9. Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse #1) by Charlaine Harris (I still have about 60 pages of this - I'll finish it tomorrow)
i've actually never read this series, i've heard so many great things about it though.
ReplyDeleteI really love the HP Film Wizardry book! I've seen it in the store and it's so awesome. I haven't been able to find it since Christmas though. I wonder if they'll make a different one once the last movie is out? Anyways, awesome book! :)
ReplyDeleteHoly bananas, you read a lot of books! That's awesome. Did you like the first Fever book (Darkfever)?

ReplyDeleteLooks like some interesting books there!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read your review for "Dark Lover", "Darkfever" and "Dead Until Dark".
You read and finished 9 books on your vacation? Did you leave the hotel room at all? xD

ARghhhh have got to buy the JR Ward series! All I hear about is how incredible it is and I need to get to it!

I love that you read so many books while on vacation. That is my dream. One weekend this summer I am going to the beach to lounge in the sun and read a thousand books. JR Ward is my love (well actually the BDB is my love) so I hope you'll write a review on DL.
ReplyDeleteI always go through a lot of book on holiday as well. This year will be teh first year away with my kindle so I hope it lives up to the hype! :-)

ReplyDeleteHere's what's in my mailbox this week!
That is a lot of reading for one vacation!! I'm reading Die For Me now, it's taking me a little longer than I wanted to get through it thanks to my business, but I'm enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteGood god, woman! I don't know if I finish 9 books a month! You are a superstar.

Vacation with books are the best! My parents used to tease me because I would always bring a suitcase with clothes and another one stuffed full of books! Glad you got to have some quality reading time!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you thought about some of those romance books! I'm about halfway through the second Black Dagger Brotherhood and really am liking it.
