 My book haul was pretty nice this week. A lot of them were free ebooks I got on my kindle, though I did purchase a couple of ebooks as well. Along with that, I borrowed a book from a friend, received a print book from an author as a thank you for reviewing the ebook, and I received my very first print ARC from a publisher in the mail! Along with that, I made a trip to Barnes and Noble with my mom yesterday, and she got to see just how much I can nerd out at a book store. I want all of the books! Anyway, here is a wrap up of what I received/bought this week!

Purchased:

Gone (Gone #1) by Michael Grant
The Program (The Program #1) by Suzanne Young
The Selection (The Selection #1) by Kiera Cass

(Apparently I was in to buying book 1 in series this time)

Gifted: 

Crystal Magic (signed) by Madeline Freeman - This is the one I received as a thank you for reviewing the ebook on Amazon. I REALLY enjoyed the book, so I am thrilled to have a print copy of it!

For Review: 
How I Got Skinny, Famous, and Fell Madly in Love (ARC) by Ken Baker - was thrilled when I received this in the mail yesterday. When I requested it, I did not think that I would actually be accepted, so I was sooo happy!

Borrowed: 

 Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling - My friend let me borrow this one, and I am excited to read it!

What did you add to your shelves this week?

    Mindy Kaling's book is SO GOOD - you are in for a definite treat. I was literally laughing with tears in my eyes while reading that book.
    Happy reading and have a good weekend :)

    New follower, hi! I loved The Selection. I don't think it's everyone's cup of tea but I fell in love with the Prince so any flaws it had were probably vastly overlooked... I'm shallow like that! I've had The Program for forever, I think I pre-ordered it originally and I still haven't read it. I might make it my next read as it's been a while since I had anything Dystopian.

    This week I visited UK's most beautiful library! Find me Under The Mountain

    What a great haul! I really love Gone and The Selection, they are two of my all time favorite series so I hope you enjoy them just as much! Congrats on your first book from a publisher as well! :)

    Great haul! Gone and The Selection are so good! I need to read The Program and that ARC looks really good! I am loving the Mindy Project tv show, so should really read her book.
    Check out my STS.
