Are you an avid reader looking for your next "fix"? Can't bear to be without some form of reading material in your spare time? Welcome to my world! Whether you are seeking a new book to "feed your need", or you are an author seeking an unbiased point of view on your own recent masterpiece, this is the place to be. With life as with books, you never know where the next step might take you...

QUICK NOTE...Update: 10/10/19

Good news: We're back home! Bad news: It's like Apocalypse Heck Part III.

The one year Hurricane Michael anniversary is already here. Where did the time go...and yet it feels like forever. You don't realize how much you take for granted until it's all gone. I'm grateful my family/fur babies survived, and I know they are just "things", but sadly, in this life, those "things" help us get through every day. So yes, "happy" yet not. Every day is still a struggle...not just for my family, but so many others.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my bookish adventures. It helps remind me I'm not alone in this crazy journey called life.

In My Shopping Bag (77)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Through her guidelines, your post does not actually have to be named the same and thus my post shall be..."In My Shopping Bag".  (just fits with the "foodie" theme a bit better in my humble opinion)
Let's take a peek inside my shopping bag this week....

...and might I add that the arrivals this week TOTALLY made me "squee" not only because of the titles but also because they were a welcome surprise.  Here we go!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Review

Wildefire by Karsten Knight
First off, intriguing cover, right?  Secondly, the story sounds like a potential option for female (and male) fans of Percy Jackson series.  Can't wait to check it out!  Scheduled release date is set for July 26, 2011.




So Silver Bright by Lisa Mantchev
(ARC courtesy of the author and Feiwel & Friends)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
*ahem*
Why yes....I was rather excited to see this one make its arrival known in my mailbox.  LOVE love LOVE the series so far, can't wait to see what this final installment brings.  Wait..."final"?  *-*  That means we're saying....goodbye....to....Bertie and friends? ~tear~  (Well, at least until I reread the series again...hehe...)  Scheduled release set for September 13, 2011....can't wait to raise the curtains on this one.



 --------------------------------------

Purchased

Arminta Spookie, Book 3:  Frognapped by Angie Sage
I rescued this little lovely from the bargain bin at my local store....and I just so happen to know someone (*raises hand*) that owns books one AND two, so this fits in perfectly!  Hehe.  ^_^...not to mention the Septimus Heap  series by the same author is really good as well.

That's it for this week.

What did you get?
Do tell!


Until next time...happy reading!
