THE BOOKS
From Publishers: Razorbill sent me this one and SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY SO EXCITED ABOUT IT OMG OMG OMG. I completely geeked out when I opened the package. I'm very excited for a straight-up sci-fi in YA. This one comes out in January, so the review won't be posted for a while (and hopefully I can resist reading it until closer to the pub date, too).
Gift: Korianne sent me this one when she mailed back the Get Smart disc she'd borrowed. AND WOOOO YAY SO HAPPY. The former glory of my BSC collection is once again being realized... slowly. (Also, this totally has a shiny cover, even though you can't tell from the photo.)
THE MUSIC
Bought: I was really really really hoping Taylor Swift's next album would actually sound like country music, the way her first album did, but it's not looking like it. That said, I'm a little obsessed with the song Speak Now and have listened to it SO MANY TIMES. And the Kesha song is the first song on the playlist for my current WIP. It just fits in so perfectly.
I was the BIGGEST BSC fan...I had at least a 100 of those books! I should have kept them for my daughter but you know, at the time I just wanted to sell them. Wasnt thinking 10 yrs down the line...Great selection! My IMM is here: http://nikkibrandyberry.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteBSC! I loved, loved, loved that series. I own the majority of the books in the series, and I'm determined to buy the ones I don't own from Amazon. Have you checked out the BSC graphic novels?!
ReplyDeleteOoh, BSC! I haven't heard that name in a whiiiile! That's crazy. xD Also, very jealous of your Across the Universe copy! :P
ReplyDeleteI also love Speak Now <3 Agh, now I have to go listen to it again <3
Here's my IMM. Happy readings! <3
:) I've been wanting to recollect all the BSC books, along with the Little Sister ones, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and so on, ahaha. I can't believe I ever sold them! I'm mad at myself now. And CONGRATULATIONS on Across the Universe! That is so exciting, I'm jealous :) And also a new follower! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHere's what I got in my mailbox this week :)
Tee hee. Glad you liked the book! I got it at a garage sale ages ago. Whenever I see them I think of you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting Across the Universe! It looks like it's mighty awesome--from what I'm read from the summary--and I can't wait to see what you think of it! And ah! BSC! I used to own some of the books, but I think I got rid of them. D: Also, I'm a new follower now! :3 Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou have some great books there this week! I loved BSC too, couldn't get enough of them..lol :)

ReplyDeleteBSC! My favorite. Have you read the new book The Summer Before?
ReplyDeleteAcross the Universe looks soo superly good. But it's cover is so weird I can't decide if I like it or not. Check out my IMM here:
