Weekly Shenanigans
What happened this week? I feel like the week kind of flew by. Maybe that is because we had a lovely (sarcasm) snow storm on Monday. I have no idea, but I did not get much done at all. I read one amazing book- . Usually I’d be annoyed that I only read one book, but if you are going to only read one, this would be the one to read. My goodness, this book was fabulous! I am trying to form some coherent thoughts to write a review, but so far it hasn’t gone well. Just read it, okay?
On the Blog:
- On Sunday, the February Discussion Challenge Link Up (and giveaway!) went live!
- I flailed a bit about Salt & Stone by Victoria Scott on Monday
- Tuesday’s Top Ten featured Dystopian books I haven’t gotten around to yet somehow.
- All new Snark From the Ark posted on Wednesday for episode 2.10 “Survival of the Fittest”.
- There was a discussion, along with a ridiculous questionnaire, on Thursday about blogging in general.
- And on Friday, it was my stop on the I’ll Remember You by Cathleen Davitt Bell Blog Tour!
There is still a day or two left to enter your links for the January Discussion Challenge link up (and to enter the giveaway!) and of course, lots of time left for February’s! And you can still fill out the ridiculous blogging questionnaire here!
Fun in the Blogosphere:
(YES I am finally doing this! I cannot promise that I’ve included everything I wanted to this week, because I just decided to do this 49 minutes before the post goes up…)
- Larissa @ YA Midnight Reads discusses body image (so, SO important!) in Discussing Through Midnight (51): The Perfect Body
- Lola @ Lola’s Reviews asks the question I have always wanted to know the answer to in Lola’s Ramblings: Do you Reply to Review Requests?
- You can read the first chapter of Cait @ Paper Fury’s book, which she shares and discusses editing in Dead Boys and Editing // and do you want to read it? (Trust me, you do!)
- Kayla @ The Thousand Lives does her own incredibly fun take on the Taylor Swift Book Tag in Tagged! Time to get my TSwift on
- Inge @ Bookshelf Reflections talks about the elements of great book boyfriends in What Makes a Book Boyfriend?
This is only a small selection of the awesome posts I’ve encountered this week but… I only have like 14 minutes left. More next week, promise!
Up Next:
I am going to post my review of The Sin Eater’s Daughter on Monday, so that I do not forget any of the amazingness. Other than that, I guess you know as much as I do! But you know, the usual. And in about 10 days, I will unveil the first batch of results from the survey!
I am very excited about The Sin Eater’s Daughter. I have heard so many amazing things about it. I hope you enjoy your new books too. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I hope you love it! It was so, SO good! Thanks so much, hope you have a great weekend too 🙂
Thanks for giving me a shoutout, Shannon! 😀 Those books look so beautiful, they are definitely books that make you go “OOH LOOK SHINY COVER” and then buy them hahaha. Hope they’re good!
Of course! I thought the post was so fun (and so true, for me anyway!) And thanks, I hope so too, I am a sucker for a shiny cover 😉
Great haul! I’m hoping to read The Sin Eater’s Daughter this week as I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time! Oooh, and I got The Mermaid’s Sister this week too, mostly because I loved the cover but of course completely forgot all about it until I saw your post.
Enjoy your new books and happy reading 🙂
Ohh, I hope you love it as much as I did! And yes, that Mermaid cover is so, so lovely. Some day, maybe I’ll even read the book 😉 Hope you enjoy!
Die Once More and The Infinite have such pretty covers and they look interesting. I need to check them out. I hope you enjoy your books 🙂
Here’s my STS
Genesis @ GenGen’s Book Blog
Thanks so much! I agree, quite lovely covers! I had missed the pretty covers from the Revenants series, so it’s nice to see them again 🙂
Nice haul. I got Infinite as well. Gates of Thread and Stone was amazing. I hope you love all your new books this week as well.
Grace @ Books of Love
Oh, I am glad to hear this! I have heard good things about Gates of Thread and Stone, and I am extra intrigued because the covers are SO different, which means a LOT probably happened!
Wow you have some really pretty books. Happy reading!
Tsuki’s STS
Thanks!
Oooh! I need to get me a copy of Die Once More – I forgot that was out already! I love the Die for Me series! Lots of great books this week!
Me too, such an amazing series! I can’t wait to read this 🙂
I still need to get to the first book in the series before Die Once More!! Hope you enjoy your books 🙂
Oh, you should, it is a great series! And thanks 🙂
Great haul! You won Twist! Awesome! Scripted sounds really good, I need to start reading itI’m so excited to read The Sin Eater’s Daughter, I’m looking forward to hearing what you’re thoughts on it. I would have started reading it already, but I’m in the middle of too many books at the moment. I need to finish some things first. I wasn’t even aware that Die Once More was available, thanks for the heads up. Of course I bought too many books this week, what else is new. Now I need to find the time to read everything! Enjoy your weekend and happy reading!
Michelle @ Michelle’s Minions
Yes, I was SO excited to win Twist, since I had just finished (and loved!) Loop! The Sin Eater’s Daughter was just amazing. I loved it so, so much. And I probably would have forgotten about Die Once More too, except I’d pre ordered it 😉 And thank you, I hope you have a great week too!
Nice haul! I am super intrigued by the cover of Hit so I’m definitely checking that one out 🙂 I’ve been hearing so much love for the Sin Eater’s Daughter so I think I should put it on my to-buy list and I’ll definitely check out your review. Hope you have a great week and enjoy your new books!
My StS
Zareena @ The Slanted Bookshelf
The cover of Hit is AMAZING! There was a different cover a few months ago when I’d had it as a WoW, but this one is epically better (one of the few times that happens, no?) And YES, buy The Sin Eater’s Daughter! The Kindle version is on sale for $2.99 (well, it was as of a few days ago!) so definitely grab iT! Hope you have a great week too 🙂
I’m looking forward to that review, Sin Eater’s Daughter is on my to-read list and it sounds good. Argh, I keep meaning to share links of posts I like, but somehow I always forget or don’t have enough links! I love it when other people have them though, so yay!
I didn’t get ANY new books this week because apparently I “should be reading the books I already have” (roommate quote). Which, I figure, is a legitimate sentiment since there are like twenty of them. I’ll just keep adding books to my amazon cart to stare at them wistfully until I can hit that buy button again. 😀
I always forget too! This week, I HAD to share a few posts, so it worked out as a good week to start it! I am going to try to email links to myself or something during the course of the week, maybe that’ll help?
And I am impressed! I never just “read the books I already have”, so good for you! My Amazon cart is overflowing too 😉
Oooh nice haul! I can’t wait to read SIN EATER’S DAUGHTER. It sounds amazing. And I love the cover. The cover of THE MERMAID’S SISTER looks gorgeous. Hope you enjoy all your books 😛
It was so, so good! And right, the cover is just so lovely! Thanks so much 🙂
I really want to read The Girl With All the Gifts — it looks so good. I hope you enjoy your haul 🙂
Thanks so much! And it does sound really good, I agree 🙂
I am sooo wanting to read The Sin Eater’s Daughter! Great haul this week!
It was sooo good, I hope you enjoy it!
I just read Loop a couple weeks ago and am thrilled I was able to get a copy of Twist from NetGalley! I can’t wait to read it. I’m definitely keeping my eye on Sin Eater’s Daughter. It doesn’t sound like my usual type of read, but the cover keeps drawing me in!
Have a great week!
I’m not familiar with any of these books, but I hope that you enjoy reading them all! 🙂

Thanks for linking to my post! It has been so interesting to hear everyone’s opinion on how they deal with review requests.
The sin eaters daughter sounds interesting, I am glad you enjoyed it. I read a great review of it a while ago.
I hope you have a great weeek and enjoy your new books!
I’m very interested in Scripted, I can’t wait to read your thoughts. Ooh Sin Eater’s Daughter!! 😀 have a nice weekend <33
Nice book haul! I’m looking forward to The Sin Eater’s Daughter most of all – I’m such a cover judge and that one just draws me in.
My StS this week
Looks like you’ve had a good week as far as receiving books good. I only read one book myself but like you I didn’t mind because the book was mind blowing.
The Sin Eaters Daughter is a good book, not what I expected but still really good.
Happy reading for the week ahead 🙂
THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS GO GO GO READ IT READ IT GO GO GO. It’s pretty good. 😀
AND I READ YOUR REVIEW OF THE SIN EATERS DAUGHTER. WHICH IS EXCITING. BECAUSE IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD. I need to find a way to get it!!!!
Very good
