My week: Pretty sad, my cousin passed away, and my little girl has been sick. Oh, and I am almost caught up with reviews that have been scheduled further out (12 hours plus to and from disney  back in Dec helps get ahead on reading) so my blog might be a bit quieter

Last Week on the blog:

What should I read next?

Coming up on the blog:
Review: Sever by Lauren DeStefano
Review: The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead
Waiting on Wednesday 2/27
Leap Into Books Giveaway Hop

What are you reading? Any of my books new to you or have you read any of my books? If so, what did you think?

    OOH I hope you love The Indigo Spell! I haven't read any of Richelle Mead's books, but given the hype this one's been getting I'm thinking I should start either her VA or Bloodlines series soon!

      I would do VA first. It is finished and amazing.
      Bloodlines is good too but only 1/2 finished.

    I love Richelle Mead!! I got halfway through the Vampire Academy series and then my best friend (the source of the books lol) moved and now all her books are packed away :( Guess I'll have to just go buy them myself. Love Richelle Mead! I haven't started the Bloodlines series because I heard that there are a few spoilers if you haven't read the entire VA series. So, soon, I hope!!

    Happy reading :) Love your blog, btw.

    I've seen a lot of people getting The Indigo Spell in the last couple of weeks - I think now there's the whole VA series out, I should go back and finish reading that, and then I can start reading the Bloodlines series :)

    I'm sorry to hear about your cousin and your little one. I swear this flu season has kicked up a notch from the past—my kids have been sick almost every week. Hope your daughter feels better soon.

    And I hope you enjoy The Indigo Spell, especially since it looks like you've been having so-so reads recently. I was looking forward to Wasteland, but now ... well, it's been moved down the shelf. :/
