Not a lot of bookish news from these past two weeks. The good stuff is: my dad is currently working a temp position, so yay! It's not permanent, but at least he's working. Second, Asbury gave me the financial aid I'll need, so we're praising God for that. And third, I was emailed my housing assignment; I now know what dorm I'll be in and who my roommate is. I don't expect us to be BFFs (I've read enough books and know from others that that would be incredibly unrealistic), but I hope we'll become friends and I really hope we get along. We've started talking on Facebook, and she is so nice. Plus she loves books and Disney, so I have a feeling we will get along just fine. Also, I am taking this opportunity to apologize to anyone who follows me on Goodreads. I added about 50-ish books to my TBR list in the last few weeks, and your timeline must've been full (I do hope you found new books for your own TBR lists, though...).
Now onto the bookish happenings.

You're planning to do a post called Linh Cinder, so somehow I'm excited. (I'm a huge Lunar Chronicles fan.) I'm hoping other characters follow ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for a What Should Be on Your TBR List post - I'm starting to run out of reading material! (as if that's possible)
Huzzah for your dad getting a temp job and things working out with Asbury! :D
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how the Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet is!
I'm looking forward to your upcoming posts, particularly the TBR list one. 'Twill be interesting to see how many of the books are already on my TBR list (probably about half the books on it, I found through your reviews and recommendations), and hopefully I'll find some others as well. Not that I'm running low or anything . . . I'm still rejoicing about my library haul from two days ago. (Six books- five new, and the last one is Cress! And all of them are GINORMOUS! :D)
I've actually read it before (had an e-galley). It's mostly a novelization of the vlogs, with a few things added in (money troubles that Lizzie didn't want to voice, etc.).
DeleteYay for library hauls!
Ah, ok. Thanks for telling me. :) I'll see if my library has it.
