Happy Friday!!
I am still doing great on my temporary book buying ban. Nope, no books bought for myself at all!
Instead, I joined Chaotic Goddess's Books and Bloggers Swap. Cheating? Maybe. I don't even care. I love my new books.
I got partnered with Lauren from Shooting Stars Mag and she chose outstanding books for me!
We had to send each other three books:
- a book from your partner's wish list
- a book you have read and loved
- a book you haven't read, but find interesting (could also be on the wish list).
I was sent these three books:
1. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson - this is the one that was on my wish list. I read I'll Give You The Sun earlier this year and LOVED it!! I am so excited to read more of her work.
2. Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang - This is the one that partner has not read, but finds interesting. It was also on my wish list! I have heard great things about this one so I can't wait.
3. The Understatement of the Year by Sarina Bowen - This is the one that my partner has read and loved. I had never heard of this one, but it has an awesome premise and has awesome reviews. It is a love story starring two guys! Love it!
Did you participate in the Books and Bloggers swap? Any new goodies?
The first two look early interesting. I am still waiting to get to I'll give you the sun but I heard great things about that and The Sky is Everywhere- Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace! You must read I'll Give You The Sun soon. It is so good!!
DeleteWhat a great idea! And I love Lauren, so I'm sure she sent you awesome books! :-) I'll have to watch for another swap like this!

Thanks Nicole! Oh yes, she sent me wonderful books. :)
DeleteYay, new books are ALWAYS a good thing! I haven't read I'll Give You the Sun yet, but I hear good things, so I might give it a try sometime. I hope you enjoy the sequel and the other two books!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vlora!
