Blarg! I only read TWO books this week. *shakes head*

Read this past week:

Okay, now for some updates!
  • My bridal shower is Sunday! So fun!
  • I'm going to see Julia Hoban - author of Willow - on Saturday! YAY!
  • I discovered BookMooch and LOVE it - already got rid of 10 books!
Alright, now for some poll results! I asked what you guys wanted me to read for the comment contest and here's the results:

Anastasia's Secret - 23 votes!
Shrinking Violet - 23 votes!
The Maze Runner - 16 votes!
ghostgirl homecoming - 11 votes!
Bran Hambric - 8 votes!
War Games - 7 votes!
Watersmeet - 6 votes!
Troubadour - 6 votes!
Magician of Hoad - 2 votes!
Mirrorscape - 2 votes!

I'll probably do another poll after I read the top 4 and see what people want to see next!

I have a new poll up about what books I should buy next. Some I've read and don't own and some I still need to read. Please vote!

Right now, for the comment contest, I have the following books in the pot:
  • 2 copies of Crash Into Me
  • 1 copy of Dragon Spear
  • 1 copy of Benny & Shrimp
I promise I'll try to read more.. swear it!

  1. I loved Shiver, its waiting for me to review it.
    Bridal showers are fun. Have a blast!
    Do you have a link to your book mooch?
    This poll was much easier for me to answer than the new one you put up. Bran Hambric is out Wednesday & I can't wait to get it!
    The new poll you put up was hard to pick just one. I've read Eyes Like Stars, Fragile Eternity & the Mortal Instruments. I have Graceling waiting on my shelf. Evermore is on my to buy list.

  9. Yay Book Mooch! It's pretty addicting, and sometimes there's not a great selection of books. Although I've lucked out a couple times and got things like Fight Club, and other books on my TBR.

    Can't wait to read your review of Benny & Shrimp!

  10. Reading two books is definately better than to have read no books this week. haha.

  11. I only read 2 books last week too. Intertwined by Gena Showalter and The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. It was a busy week.

    Looks like you have a busy week ahead with books to read. I can't wait to read your thoughts on Anastasia's Secret.

    Curious to see how you liked Octavian Nothing - I've noticed people giving it pretty bad reviews..

  20. What is BookMooch?
    I have been wanting to read shiver.
    I was overly optimistic about how much I could read this week. Mine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-are-you-reading-monday.html

  22. WOOT CRASH INTO ME. Read girl read! How's Rampant going?

  23. I love how you chastise yourself for only reading two books this past week. And you're currently reading 3 books and have the audiobook of another. I can only read one book at a time or I'll get all mixed up in the characters. Kudos to you for being able to get swept away by numerous stories all at the same time!

  24. I really want to read Shiver and Rampant. I talked to the author of Rampant by email a little bit. She seemed really cool.
