Extra! Extra! is a new-ish weekly post featuring brand new additions to my TBR pile as well as a summary of what's new on the blog.
To read about the inspiration behind my blog features, click the highlighted text.
Today I'm trying out linking to Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews. Check out the great blogs that have posted their Sunday news over there....
WHAT'S NEW IN MY TBR PILE?
Two new ARCs:
Smashed by Lisa Luedeke
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
Both of these look super-cool and edgy! Click the highlighted titles to check them out on Goodreads.
And now, without further delay, here are the answers to the "Which of this six things did Adrian Ivashkov really say?
If you missed my quiz, here it is again. It originally ran with my Golden Lily review. If you missed that, click on that highlighted text to the left.
Adrian really said some the following quotes in The Golden Lily. Others were made up by me. Can you guess which are which?
A: "I've been known to roll the dice now and then."
B: "Sage, your new boyfriend is so excruciatingly polite he must be a serial killer."
C: "Slushes. Do you know how much I love those? Cherry, especially."
D: "Believe it or not, I do think some women should keep their clothes on."
E: "I find prostitutes vastly important."
F: "I absolutely deny requesting a pirate tattoo. Because I already have one."
Answer: Adrian really said A, C and E. I made up the others. Heh heh.

Yay -- you guys are making me so excited!!!!
DeleteE kind of makes me want to read this book. :) Fun game! And I got Pushing the Limits via NetGalley and I'm psyched to read it!
ReplyDeleteJen M loves Adrian more than I ever could, but he is completely hilarious and he did say E and not for the reason you might think.
DeleteOh, I only guessed one of the quotes right, guess I don't know Adrian as well as I thought I did :O On the other hand, you made up some seriously awesome quotes I would totally expect Adrian to say, and I want to read The Golden Lily more than ever!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these books are on my To Read list! Also, love the graphic!
