Megan Likes (New) Books

Well, I'm still undecided about making the switch to a more organized meme, so I'm continuing on with Megan Likes (New) Books for now until I decide what I want to do.

My order of Maggie Steifvater books (minus The Dream Theives) came in last week and then yesterday I got an unexpected package from Tor. Plus another review book I requested on Netgalley a while ago and completely forgot about, so I'll be trying to squeeze it in my pared-down schedule.

Review: 
Sick by Tom Leveen  -  Thanks to Netgalley and ABRAMS..
The Lost Prince by Edward Lazellari  - Thanks to Tor!

Bought:
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Megan Likes (New) Books

Lots to share from August! I'm seriously considering a) going back to posting weekly or biweekly and b) joining a meme such as Sunday Showcase. Thoughts?

I'm unpacking and I don't actually have a bookshelf right now, so most of my books are in boxes in my closet.

University is kicking my butt this week and likely will be for the rest of April, so if I can maintain 100, I will be very happy. Although buying an ebook makes me feel a little bit like I cheated, but I won an ARC of the sequel, so I really did need this one!

I was swamped with midterms this past week, so not much reading got done this week. But I'm taking it easy this weekend, so expect lots of reading to occur!

FYI: Once I complete, Reading Through My Bookshelf, I'm planning to embark on Reading Through My Kindle. Which is a terrifying notion indeed.

I've been reading a lot of ebooks lately, but I'm starting a long run of physical books as soon as I finish my current read to prevent myself from reaching the dreaded 100 and so I can actually decrease my TBR instead of increasing it every week!

Yikes! I will force myself onto a major buying ban if I reach 100. I guess it's time to slow down on the ebooks and get my shelved under control!
