  6. EVERYONE has been asking for a bookshelf tour! Let's just say, I just bought 2 new bookcases, and have 2 more (at least) to buy, and then some serious arranging, and THEN you will see it in all of it's maniacal glory... lol

  8. You should read "Falling for Hamlet" by Michelle Ray.

    I LOVE it!

    It's a modern re-telling of Hamlet from Ophelia's POV with the twist of what if she didn't die.

  9. That seems like a lot of books!

    I love the cover/title of Drink Slay Love, but I didn't really know what it was about - might have to check that out sometime.

    The Night Circus looks beautiful! Such a lovely colour!
    I've read one Siobhan Dowd book, and to be honest I didn't really like it, but maybe I should try another one.

    I don't have an IMM this week because I got one book, so I'll do one next week when it'll be a more interesting post! Haha.

  11. I laughed when you realized you matched your books and put on lip stick to make it even better! You're funny.

    I can't wait to see what you think of Drink Slay Love. I hadn't heard much about the Night Circus before but it's suddenly everywhere! Gonna have to add that one to the list as well.

    Enjoy your new reads!

  17. I have DRINK, SLAY, LOVE for review, too...and also love the cover! It's been on my TBR since before the cover reveal, lol...b/c I heart Sarah Beth Durst so, so much! lol, I love that you're putting on lipstick to match. Misty, I heart YOU!! PERSUADE ME sounds interesting...will have to check it out! THE NIGHT CIRCUS!!!! Ah, I love this book so, so, SO much! I hope you will, too. I cannot WAIT for you to read this!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh make time, make time!! I love Amazon sales and spend too much there myself. From BN as well! I agree about covers...I stalk ebay for covers. Right now, I'm annoyed because I can't get the covers I want from Holly Black's TITHE series! I wouldn't read THE PEARL OF THE SOUL OF THE WORLD without reading the first two books. You will be VERY confused!!

  20. You seriously make me want to read more Jane Austen. I will probably have to participate in Jane in June next year just so I can persuade myself to do it. No pun intended.

    Also, that was such as sweet gift to receive! I've also heard so many fantastic things about the Night Circus. I can't wait to pick it up. :)
