Weekly Wrap-Up: Happy Thanksgiving!

What's New:
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving if you're in the States! Mine was great, I loved having a few extra days off from school, but I haven't gotten a lot done off of my to-do list yet. I went out shopping for Black Friday, and it was a pretty calm experience this year which was nice, and I of course ordered some books from Bookoutlet's Black Friday sale, so those will be in an upcoming post. I got eight books, six of which are hardcover, for twenty-seven dollars and that price includes shipping, so that's an awesome deal.

 What I Read:
I did a little extra reading this week because of my break from school which was great. I finished The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stefivater in a couple late night reading sessions because I couldn't put it down. I also started The Hourglass Factory by Lucy Ribchester which is a historical fiction mystery of sorts that centers around British Suffragettes.
 

 What I Bought:
I got Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer on sale at Target while Black Friday shopping, which was pretty exciting as I hadn't had a chance to pick it up yet.

What I Posted:
Monday- I reviewed The Lamplighter by Maria Susanna Cummins, which is a forgotten American classic that is basically the American Jane Eyre
Tuesday- I discussed Ten Books I'm Thankful For (I loved this topic)
Wednesday- I posted a graphic novel Wishlist 

Last Week's Wrap-Up (Two Weeks in One)

What's Next: 
I planed on scheduling lots of posts this weekend because school is going to be mega-crazy for the next two weeks or so, but that didn't really happen. I'm not sure how many posts I will be getting up in the coming weeks, but I have a review for The Dream Thieves all ready to go for sure next week, beyond that, I will be just as surprised as you are!

    I've been wanting to read Maggie Stiefvater for a long time ! But if I could read all the books I already have on my tablet, that would mean I'm in another dimension ;) Enjoy your haul !

    I enjoyed The Sword of Summer very much. You got a few that I hadn't heard of. Hope you love all your new books.

    Stiefvater's books seem to be very popular, glad it was good. And I need to read Chase, I've been looking it to come out and now it is and I haven't read it yet!

    I need to continue with the Raven Boys series! I loved the first one, and I have at least one of the next books.
    Sounds like you had a nice and quiet Thanksgiving, and sometimes that is so important. Even if your to-do list hasn't been shrinking...
    Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

    I will be sure to come back for your review for Dream Thieves. It's still on my watch list.
    School does get busy this time of year. I hope that you can find a balance that works for you and you can stay clear of too much stress.

    I need to get back to The Raven Boys series before I forget what happened in the 1st book. Glad to hear TDT was hard to put down, since it took me a while to get into the first book.

    I really enjoyed Magnus Chase. Enjoy! I can't wait to see what you think after you read it.

      The series is proving to be a lot of fun so far. Glad to hear you liked Magnus Chase, I'm hoping it's as fun as his Percy Jackson books!
      Thanks for stopping by!
