Overall:
Okay. I think I just experienced my BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! I’d like to say thanks send virtual huggles and kisses to Steph @ Chasm of Books and Hannah @ Book Haven for the awesomest blog posts ever! I did not expect to get hijacked by the birthday blog hijacker, I was actaully expecting Steph to be posting on my blog but turns out Hannah posted on here and Steph made a post of epicness on her own blog! As well as the awesome Liz @ Read-A-HolicZ for taking the time to make me this awesome birthday banner! (Below) I LOVE YOU GUYS! I seriously need to get plotting for Steph’s birthday… I mean, HOW CAN I BEAT THIS EPICNES?!
AND ALL OF YOU! Seriously, my twitter feed exploded and so did my Goodreads inbox. You guys are all seriously the sweetest. (I’d list you all but I’d be here till next year) So I didn’t get many books this week but I believe I’m expecting some packages in the coming weeks. I told me friends and family NOT to buy me books as they’d probably buy a book I hated/already read. Instead, I got money, clothes, and plenty of other awesomeness that I’ve already forgotten about as I am racing against time to finish this post. (HUSH….) And the reason of this is because I am going birthday shopping!!! WHOOHOO!
Apart from that, I am posting all Courtney Summers related things this week! Teasers, reviews, general fangirling of Courtney Summers etc…
And if you are thinking of moving to WordPress all by yourself, take your time to check out this post from Nose Graze!
Anywho… that’s all from this week!

Hunting Lila- One with many mixed reviews yet I think I’ll love it. THANKS JOHANNA YOU SWEETHEART!

Breathe- I can’t wait for Resist and I couldn’t RESIST but get this! (I unPUNlogise)

I cannot wait for Antigoddess, either, hon. I loved her Anna series and you simply must read it! I’m glad you love your prezzies! I took some hunting to see what books you’d like.
Happy birthday!!!
I LOVE YOU TOO! Enjoy >.< Jelly about With Space, I loved her other series- which you simply must read ASAP. Have fun with Northanger Abbey- it's light hearted to say the least.
Great haul! I had so much fun with your birthday stuff this week! Thanks for letting me do it!

I mostly just can’t wait to see next week’s haul, Mel. Although this on was pretty sweet…
I really really hope you enjoy Poison Study. It’s one of my favorite series. Also really interested to see whether or not you like Burn Bright. I hope you do because I want to read it. Oh, and happy birthday, Melanie!
Belated happy birthday, love! So sorry I missed it! Sounds like you had a blast! Hope you enjoy birthday shopping as well! Awesome haul, btw! I’m looking forward to reading your reviews on Courtney Summers’ books! 😀

I really enjoyed Hunting Lila when I read it at the start of the year so I hope you do too.
Let the Sky Fall looks amazing and I love the cover. It’s not published in the UK though, which is sad.
Happy reading, Melanie!

people usually know to get me a bookstore gift card if they want to get something book related instead of buying a book. Chances are I WOULD already have it. LOL Looks like you have a fun week coming up. I want to read more Courtney Summers.

Omg you got a ton of birthday goodies I hope you LOOOVEEE them all! <33 Breathe is AMAZING, not going to lie, and I've heard interesting things about White Space so I'm eager to see what you think of it. Apparently it's graphic yet super insanely confusing haha 🙂
Fantastic haul, Melanie! I'm glad you had such an awesome birthday!!
