I am in my countdown to Book Bash mode, making a list, checking it twice… I’m trying to find out who’s naughty or nice. Er…. oh wait. That’s Santa. But I feel like it’s Christmas right now so it works! π
I swear I can barely sleep, double-checking everything, “pre-experiencing” it in my brain, *squeeing* about it in text messages with anyone that can stand me right now. I’m even dreaming about it. And I have those typical dreams, you know? The ones where you “forget” to show up and realize that you missed your own test (or in my case… “event”). Then there was the one where I did show up but forgot to bring… everything. Now, i’m just expecting the next one to be me walking in… in my underwear.
Only in my dreams, though… ’cause in real life, it’s just gonna rock, and no worries. My mom’ll be there to make sure I get dressed. π Thanks mommy!!
So overall, I’m just a big happy *squeeing* excited mess. One thing I am missing though, is the reason for this whole celebration in the first place. Books. Over the last month or so, I’ve temporarily slowed down my usual reading schedule for this great big book event (it’s worth it though). Eight more sleeps, people!!! Eeeeeeep!!! Actually 7 more sleeps, ’cause I’ll be meeting a ton of you on Friday! π
But let me tell you, on July 1st… I’m turning back into a reading machine. Read books, *squee* and then review books. I will read, read, and read some more. I’m seriously craving laying on my couch for days on end, with my nose in book after book. Will y’all join me in myΒ upcoming book indulgence?
Yah!? Cool! Okay so in the meantime, I’ll just continue to “collect” books, and post the reviews of the books I have read, this weekend.
So here are the latest reader recommendations and bargain ebook finds:

I am dying for the 2nd book too!!!”
- AnguiSHΒ by Lila Felix <— Oh this one looks good! An agoraphobic guy and a girl… “A simple note pinned to a corkboard will lead Ash right to Breakerβs solitary world and she will learn that just because a guy doesnβt fit her ideal, doesnβt mean she wonβt fall head over feet in love.” Shannon highly recommends it: “Have you read AnguiSH by Lila Felix?
