  1. The Land of Stories was a cute fast read book. I met Chris Colfer on the release day at this signing and when I started reading it made it even more special lol. It's interesting though and reminds me of the show Once Upon A Time. Also I really want to read Me and Early and the Dying Girl! I keep hearing about it on youtube and I barely even know what it's about but all I hear is good things! I might have to buy it asap xD Good Haul!

  10. Wings is amazing, I love that book! I haven't managed to read the rest of the series though so I must do that.
    Even though I'm a bit hesitant to read a book by a celebrity, The Land of Stories sounds really good! I love the cover :) Happy reading! :)

  14. I really liked the Hex Hall series, which is weird because it didn't seem like one I would like at all, but I did and I hope you do too! Me, Earl and the Dying Girl is one I have had my eye on forever but have failed to pick up. I hope you like all these new goodies!
