Bumbles and Fairy-Tales Updates and Book Haul #53


Hello bookish friends!
I hope you have had a fabulous week in books!!!

I have been trying to balance a schedule between family life and book reading/reviewing/blogging life the last 2 weeks and well, as you can see, things have been pretty busy! 
Reading time has been excellent! Now, if I can just fit in my computer/blogging time in, then life will be close to perfect ;) 

Got some books this week... 

I am also participating in Stacking the Shelves 
and the Showcase Sunday this week!

What happened on the blog last week... 
- Review: THE SWEET DEAD LIFE by Joy Preble (YA)

- R Is For Rebel (Unruly Royals #4) (ARC) by Megan Mulry (A) from Sourcebooks Landmark
- Anyone But You: A Modern-Day Spin on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (Twisted Lit #3) (HB) by Kim Askew and Amy Helmes (YA) from Merit Press

What I purchased... 
- The Spindlers (Signed HB) by Lauren Oliver (MG)
- Dash & Lily's Book of Dares (Signed HB) by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (YA)
- Romeo Redeemed (Juliet Immortal #2) (HB) by Stacey Jay (YA)

- Portrait of a Marshal (Starters #1.25) by Lissa Price (YA)
- Portrait of a Donor (Starters #1.75) by Lissa Price (YA)


That's all for me this week!!! 
Plenty of reading yummy-ness, right?! 

I've re-read Starters this week and went right into all the short stories and ended it all up with a re-read of Enders too! There is one more short story that was suppose to be released already, but I don't see it available anywhere :(  My review of the whole saga will be up sometime within the next 2 weeks!


Thanks so much for stopping by today!!!

Please share!!! What did you get???

  1. What a great list! I grabbed a few of those eBooks too! I really need to get Dance of Red Death after the first one ended with such a cliffhanger! Happy reading.
