  7. I heard that Heart at Stake is a funny read. It is on my few yards long wishlist and I don't know when I 'll ever get a chance to read it, meh! But nonetheless, I know I'll be waiting for your review on the book. Hope you enjoy your reads for this week! Happy... weekdays ;)

  8. Sisters Red looks really good. I hadn't heard of Alex Van Helsing, but it looks good as well. The title reminds me a little of a short story by Joe Hill called Abraham's Boys. It was good, but not YA and uber-creepy. Enjoy your books!

  9. Yay Artemis Fowl!! Yay! /fangirling
    Also I feel like you get to meet every author ever. I'm so jealous, ha ha.

    Oh and I love the idea of the Shelf report. Maybe I should do something similar, since I want to cut down on memes and bring up the content. :-)
