  2. Oh cool you got the whole Beautiful Creatures series. I'm still on the fence whether I want to read it or not - can't wait to see your review :)

    Did you say that you get books from a book closeout factory for cheap? I'm so jealous :)

    Enjoy all your books!

  4. The Colossus Rises looks really good, so does Supernaturally - I still need to read Paranormalcy though, but I've heard lots of good things about it.

    You can see my book post here.
