That's a great IMM you have this week! Congrats on the new job too!!

All These Things I've Done was really good! That book took me out of a reading slump I was experiencing, and was an absolute page turner. And Beauty Queens was so funny and entertaining! Hope you love them. :)

I really didn't enjoy Beauty Queens, but most other people seem to love it so I hope you do too! I love Ally Carter's books, they're so much fun.

Enjoy!

Oh, Beauty Queens... I don't think I'll read it. I loved the Gemma Doyle trilogy, but Libba Bray's other books have fallen flat for me. I like her twitter though! She's so funny. Hope you enjoy your books this week.

Christy @ TheReaderBee said...

Awesome mailbox! I have Beauty Queens, and can't wait to read it! Enjoy!

Thank you for stopping by! I've heard that Beauty Queens is filled with hilarity! Hope you enjoy!

starryeyedjen said...

I loved Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy and have picked up Beauty Queens several times, but I always put it back. Same with Going Bovine. I should give them a try, though. I can't wait to hear what you think...maybe it'll give me the push I need. :)

Sarah@Catching Books said...

Al of these books look great! I really want to read Beauty Queens!
