Weekly Wrap-Up: Holiday Weekend

What's New:
This weekend is a long holiday weekend with Monday being Memorial Day, so I have a lot of plans to relax and hopefully read. I have been trying to get into some-what of a schedule for the summer but it's been a bit of struggle.

What I Read:
This week I read Robin Archive vol. 1 which I thought was a lot of fun and Paula McLain's Circling the Sun which I also really enjoyed (reviews coming next week.) McLain has become an auto-buy author for me as I have loved both of her historical fiction novels I have read so far. I am currently reading Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater and am totally sucked in. I will be following it up with The Raven King of course and I'm excited to see how this series ends and sad to see it finished.
 

 

What I Bought:
I didn't buy any books this week, but Out of Print was having their annual buy one get one free sale on their book t-shirts so of course I picked two up. If you have never checked out this site, please do (link is above); you will love it! I ended up ordering a Frankenstein t-shirt because I love this novel and have been working so closely with it this past semester and an On the Road t-shirt, another novel that I love. I love everything on this site! I have my eye on some of their socks next.

  6. I'm not familiar with that shirt site but I'll definitely check it out! Looks fun. I like those collected editions of the comics they always have such nice color, especially for the older stuff. And enjoy the Stiefvater books!

  7. I bought a few tees from Book Riot a few weeks ago. How have we lived this long without bookish shirts? :)
