Purchased
Always A Witch (Witch #2) by Carolyn MacCullough – I really loved this series, so it made me very happy when I found a copy of this cheap. I actually bought this one last week, but it was late on Saturday and I had already typed up my Showcase Sunday post for that week. I got this one, The Raven Boys, My Sweetest Escape, Bad Romeo, and Crown Of Midnight at this cool used bookstore that I discovered last weekend. Regardless, I’m stoked to have a copy of this to go with my copy of Once A Witch.
The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle #1) by Maggie Stiefvater – I didn’t think I would ever get my hands on a hardback copy of this. It’s not that it’s particularly difficult to find a hardcover, but I figured when I found a copy, it would be a paperback.
Mothership (Ever-Expanding Universe #1) by Martin Leicht & Isla Neal – I LOVED this book. It was one of the funniest books I read in 2012, back when PulseIt kept books up for more than a week so I could actually read the entire thing. I went out of my way to get the original cover because I think it’s so perfect for the series and I’m not a fan of the remade cover.
Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli – I drive to Decatur GA yesterday to meet the amazing Becky Albertalli. Little Shop Of Stories had a launch party for this book and I was beyond excited to attend. I really loved Simon. I already had a copy of the book, but I like to support the shops that do book events, so I bought an additional copy for her to sign. I plan on giving it away soon, so keep you’re eyes peeled for that!
My Sweetest Mistake (My Favorite Mistake #2) by Chelsea M Cameron – I haven’t read any books in this series yet, but my baby sister loved the first one, so I’m excited to get a copy of book 2!
Bad Romeo (Starcrossed #1) by Leisa Rayven – This sounds pretty good and it has a pretty cover.
Crown Of Midnight (Throne Of Glass #2) by Sarah J Maas – I had to grab this when I saw it in the used bookstore. Sarah will be in Charlotte next month and I definitely need to get this so I can have it signed!
Throne Of Glass (Throne Of Glass #1) by Sarah J Maas – After I bought Crown Of Midnight, I had to get a copy of the first novel in the series. Amazon was having a pretty awesome special on it because it was on $6 and change!
The Ever After Of Ella & Micha (The Secret #4) by Jessica Sorensen – I now have the entire set of main books in this series! Now I just need the novellas.

Won
Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli from Dana Squared – I was so excited to get this. I adored this book and Simon and his whole world. I’m even more excited now that I have it signed. I was actually pretty bummed because Becky was having a signing in GA in a few months, but I couldn’t attend because it would be on a weekday. Then I checked her website and saw that she was having an event on the 11th and I did everything possible to get there. It was a 4 hour drive, but it was totally worth it!

DIGITAL BOOKS
Amazon Freebies

Before The Fall: Arrival (Embassy Row #0.5) by Ally Carter – I haven’t read much by Ally Carter, but I really enjoyed the things I have gotten to read!
A Good Debutante’s Guide To Ruin (The Debutante Files #1) by Sophie Jordan – I haven’t yet read a Sophie Jordan historical romance, but I have read a YA and her NA’s, so I’m sure this will be equally as enthralling!
Last To Know (Willow Creek #1) by Micalea Smeltzer – Her novels look so good!

Purchased

Cinder X (Death Collectors #2) by Jessica Sorensen – I have an eARC of Spark X, so I needed this to understand that!
Return To Sender (Letters To Nowhere #2) by Julie Cross – I recently finished Letters To Nowhere and I LOVED it, so naturally I want more of Karen and Jordan.
Shadow Demons (Peachville High #4) by Sarra Cannon – I have only read the first book in this series, but my sister is crazy for it, so I went ahead and grabbed this will it was cheap!

Scion by Kelly Oram
Scion (Supernaturals #3) by Kelly Oram – I loved (LOVED LOVED) Kelly’s Cinder and Ella, so I plan to binge my way through the rest of her books and I jumped at the chance to read this!
