Weird Searches That Led to My Blog:
What? Okay, I'm really quite certain that I never discussed that here on the blog.
Hope you had a great week too! Tell me in comments what you've been up to or leave me a link and I'll visit you back!
I'm catching up on some "older" releases this weekend too: Because It Is My Blood (finally) as well as the new Thursday Next book. Hope you enjoy The Raven Boys-that's on my tbr list in December/January.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you thought of Because It Is My Blood. I love Anya!
DeleteVenom sounds really good. Haha that search is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think they do. Right? Maybe? But my blog is not the place to get the lowdown on that!
DeleteI need to watch that show this summer. I read three or four of the Vampire Diaries books way back when.
I LOVED Venom AND The Raven Boys!! I really hope you like them too. I want to catch up on some older books too. I have a few blog tour commitments to do first but I think November and some of December might be time to read some of them for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually looking forward to the breather. I'm going to work on some new blog features, catch up on my reading, etc. Can't wait!
DeleteI like the Freaks Like Us cover! Must investigate further...
ReplyDeleteI'm about to organize my bookshelves. That should occupy my whole day (or weekend!)
I'm about to start that one. Will let you know!
DeleteI am constantly rearranging my bookshelves. I'm kinda OCD..
Love the search term! I've had some like that and I've had to go search myself to figure out where exactly they led to. Sometimes I can't find anything!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you have a bit of a lull and can read what you want! I like days like that. :)
Enjoy your week!
Maybe someone left a comment about it? I am quite certain I never said a thing about it. I haven't watched the show!!!
Deletethis has been a very exciting week, but you'll have to wait a little longer to find out why ; )
ReplyDeleteOh, fine, just toy with me. I'll wait!
DeleteI have the Raven Boys sitting next to me also! I just have to quickly get through The Diviners before it needs to go back to the library. The Stefan and Elena thing cracks me up. Very VERY fanfic, although I am much more a Delena girl myself.
ReplyDelete"Quickly get through the Diviners"
DeleteExcuse me while I fall over laughing. I think it's almost 600 pages!
I know. That is delusion at its finest.
DeleteYou can do it. Don't let my mockery discourage you. I'm listening to it on Audible and I'm half way through. It's fun!
DeleteI have heard that Venom is the best of the Breathless Reads books, hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteKristin @ Young Adult Book Haven
I did like it -- love historical fiction!
DeleteAwesome haul!!

Hope you swoon for Falco! Can't wait to hear what you think of him. I really want to read The Raven Boys! I'm just buried in books as usual. Great search term! LOL I love Stefan and Elena hehe I get some weird ones too.
ReplyDeleteI thought Falco was ... okay. I need to know more about Luca. I think he's going to end up to be more interesting. LOL -- you and I have very different taste in guys. Except Adrian of course.
DeleteAwesome! You have very busy :)
ReplyDeleteSeptember and October have been crazy!!!!
DeleteWhat?!? Seriously that person should have never been introduced to Google! :P And I love your TBR pile! Been dying to read them all! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm still not sure why Google led them to me. Cause I don't know anything about that!
DeleteCan't wait to see what you think of The Raven Boys!
ReplyDeleteJesse @ Pretty in Fiction
Excited to start it!
DeleteI haven't read anything this week because my brother is visiting and we decided to a few projects that I've wanted to do on my house.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you love Venom, and I have a copy of The Raven Boys, but I just don't know when I'll get to it. I hope you have a great weekend!
Have fun with your brother. It's beautiful out here and I want to get outside too!
DeleteI agree, what?
ReplyDeleteI just read The Raven Boys this week and LOVED it! It is my favorite of hers by far. There wasn't really much romance, which was fine by me. I think she is actually going to let it be a natural relationship (no instant-love) and build over the series, which is the best. I'm sure there will be some twists too, since there already were some in this first book. :)
I've got to catch up on your other reviews and get some more books added to my tbr.
I think I'm going to like Raven Boys too. I loved Scorpio Races! And I agree -- slow romance is okay with me!
DeleteI've heard nothing but great things about Venom so I'm sure you'll love it! xD
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week this week! :)
My Haul
Thanks -- you too!
DeleteI'm packing to go away up the coast for a week. I'm so excited. Kindle loaded & packed too - an eclectic mix.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic time!!!!
DeleteI always love the crazy searches that lead people to your blog. Also, I am PSYCHED for you to read Raven Boys... text me when you get to all the parts that make you stop and go "whoa". And I am dying to read Venom and Freaks Like Us. Can't wait to hear what you think?
ReplyDeleteI know -- I can't believe I waited so long to read it!
DeleteI won a copy of 'the raven boys' but it still hasn't arrived! Really looking forward to reading it too!
