This past week was a bit hectic with school, as it is already time to register for next fall's classes, so I didn't get a lot of reading done. I watched a lot of Scandal, I'm almost finished with season three, and then I will have to wait until season four is done airing on t.v. and then put on Netflix (Ugh!). I also dipped in and out of my Edna St. Vincent Millay Selected Poems Volume. She is one of my all-time favorite poets, so I'm sure I will be talking about her on here very soon. I'm almost done with listening to Emma by Jane Austen on audiobook and I am loving it of course.
What I Bought:
My mom made a Bookoutlet order the other day and she kindly let me slip a few things into her order (moms are the best) so I got two Laurie Halse Anderson books I'm been meaning to read for quite a while and the beautiful Penguin Ink version of Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding which I already own and read, but I love this book and couldn't pass up this gorgeous edition for such a great price.
What I Posted:
Monday- I reviewed my favorite book of the year so far, I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
Tuesday- I talked about books I loved as a kid
Wednesday- I'm waiting on this Girl-Power-Spy-Novel
Thursday- I shared the latest Literary Inspired Movies I've purchased
Last Week's Wrap-up
What's Next:
Not sure why I even bother to include this section on my wrap-ups because everyone knows, I have no idea what I'm posting next! Possibly a Poetry Spotlight on Millay and possibly a review of Emma if I finish it this weekend. I'll be just as surprised as you are next week!
How was your week? What did you buy?

Oh I can't believe you have never read Speak. It's so GOOD!! I hope you read it soon!
ReplyDeleteI know! I can't believe it either! I'm hoping to get to it this summer. Laurie Halse Anderson is really great.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I agree with Cynthia. Read SPEAK. Such a good book. Love that Bridget Jones cover.
ReplyDeleteIt's on the top of my summer TBR list! I love Penguin Publishing! They never disappoint.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Kay!
I've never read any Laurie Halse Anderson - I need to get on that, because I've heard some pretty great things about her books. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, you've been tagged! ;) http://bit.ly/1xJheWM
I read Wintergirls by her and loved it! Highly recommend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, and tagging me!
Great book haul. I loved Speak, but I was disappointed with The Impossible Knife of Memory. I hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Really? I haven't heard very much about The Impossible Knife. I'm looking forward to both of them!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I love Emma - I should get it on audio. THese days in school English classes do you just do the classics or do you discuss the newer books?
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit here I think.

I'm listening to a free audiobook version on my phone in the car while driving home and back to school and it's really great! What we read depends on the class, right now in my American Lit II class we are getting into more modern classics like Vonnegut and Plath.

Millay is one of my favorite poets. Or really I should say my only favorite poet because I'm not much of a poetry fan! I love the edition of Bridget Jones! I can see why you couldn't pass it up. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteShe is so great! I love her sass and unapologetic attitude. I love the Penguin Ink books! and Bridget Jones so it was a win-win.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Great haul! I definitely need to check out Laurie Halse Anderson's novels. I have Speak on my shelf but The Impossible Knife of Memory also sounds quite good. Enjoy!
