    I haven't read the first book in the series for either of the new ones you got in the mail, but yay for receiving them! Born Wicked is another I've been wanting to try.

    I hope you have a good trip!

    Oo, I'm glad you got SIEGE AND STORM! I'm starting that soon. :) I got a copy of STAR-CURSED as well, though I'm not sure I'm going to read it--I had more mixed feelings about the first one (although I liked it), so I may pass it on.

    Happy reading, Jen!

    Star Cursed looks great and I still need to read Shadow & Bone! I've heard great things about it and everyone seems excited for that sequel.

    I'm lovin' Bloglovin'. I don't like the feel of Feedly at all. I know what you mean about receiving ARCs. I have way more than enough from NG and Edelweiss. Hope you enjoy your books!

  20. Jen R.March 25, 2013 at 1:54 AM

    Oh wow, Star Cursed! I bet it even looks better in person! :) I hope you enjoy reading both of your ARCs- I will read Shadow and Bone soon, since I haven't heard a single negative thing about it yet. Can't wait to read your review of Dark Triumph as well! :)

    Looks like you had a busy week! Star Cursed looks so good, and reminds me that I still haven't read my copy of Born Wicked! Enjoy your books, Jen!

  22. Tressa @ Wishful EndingsMarch 25, 2013 at 3:06 PM

    Yeah for getting Siege and Storm!!! I'm excited for you because I know you wanted a copy! I so need that one! I've been debating if I'll just have to buy both that and Shadow and Bone. I would definitely re-read them - at least I'm assuming I'd like to read Siege and Storm since I haven't read it yet. I'm looking forward to your reviews for this week. I've got a ton going on. I'd like to review five books this week, which is probably impossible, but we'll see. At the minimum I'll have three up (one of which is already written). :)

    I have yet to read the copy of Born Wicked that I won last year. D'oh. And I am soooo freakin' jealous of that copy of Siege and Storm! I was gonna be on the ARC Tour. Then I got approved on Netgalley, so I removed myself from the tour. Then I forgot to DL the galley and it was archived THE DAY I WENT TO PICK IT UP. I am sooo distraught that I missed out. You know how excited I am for this book! :(

    Yay! You got Star Cursed. I really liked the first one. Very much looking forward to your thoughts on Dark Triumph. Also the Feedly vs. Bloglovin post will be really useful for me. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to use. :-)

  27. UnknownMarch 26, 2013 at 6:35 PM

    Oh! Star Cursed! That's exciting! I think I would have to re-read parts of Born Wicked before starting that one though! It feels like it's been forever since I read that!

    And woo hoo! for scoring a copy of Siege and Storm:)

    Ooh, I'm very much looking forward to your comparison of Feedly and Bloglovin. I'm currently focusing on and experimenting with the former but I should give the latter a fair try as well. Looking forward to a great week (as I post on Thursday :)
