~Reading Progress~

I am still in the middle of City Love by Susane Colasanti, Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman and Fans of The Impossible Life by Kate Scelsa. In addition to those three, I’m also in the middle of The Cemetery Boys by Heather Brewer and Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton. . . One day I’m going to finish one of them. 🙂 So far Challenger Deep is really sucking me in now, I’m also very into Fans and The Cemetery Boys. City Love’s kind of “eh” at this point, unfortunately. I’m not too far into Tiny Pretty Things but it’s had an interesting introduction so far.

Harper added books to Edelweiss!

Simon Pulse has re-added Violent Ends on EW, which hopefully I will get approved for. *crosses fingers*

~Stacking The Shelves~

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme at Tynga’s Reviews where bloggers are encouraged to talk about the books they’ve received the past week.

I was approved for:

A Step Towards Falling by Cammie McGovern

Future Perfect by Jen Larsen

Thank you so much Harper Teen. ❤

I love how the covers follow the same palette, at least with the teal color. ❤
