Remember by Eileen Cook – I read an eARC of this earlier this year and really enjoyed it. I’m ssssooo happy to finally have a copy on my shelves. I love how well the cover fits the story, with the distortion around the girls face.
The Queen Of Bright And Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre – I read and eARC of this earlier this year and adored it. I glanced over the hardcover more than a few times in stores, but now that I have it in my hands, I see it’s gorgeousness. The post-its on the cover are just the tip of the iceberg, there are post-it’s on the inside flaps and the small shot of a bike that you get in one of the photos….it’s just perfect.
The World Forgot (Ever-Expanding Universe) by Martin Leicht & Isla Neal – I LOVED the first book in this series. It was different and funny and just perfect. I have book 2, but haven’t read it yet, but I needed the complete trilogy.
All That Glitters (Geek Girl #4) by Holly Smale – Alright, so I’m ecstatic to have this book in my collection, but I was not expecting the oversized paperback. I was expecting the normal sized paperback and this one is so much bigger than all my others. I might re-buy it in the smaller cover one day because I like to see them all together on myself.
Secret (Elementals #4) by Brigid Kemmerer – I bought this off Amazon as a used paperback and it showed up as an ARC. I have already contacted the seller and they are giving me a refund, but I’m still pretty mad about it. Secret is the only book in the series I don’t have this just doesn’t go with the rest. I need a finished copy. 😦 But I do love this book and this series quite a bit.
Love Fortunes And Other Disasters (Grimbaud #1) by Kimberly Karalius – I’ll be completely honest, I bought this completely because I love the cover. I know nothing at all about it, but cover is absolutely adorable and it implies cutesy romance, which I’m all for.
November 9 by Colleen Hoover – This needs no explanation. It’s Colleen Hoover!
Oblivion (Lux #1.5) by Jennifer L Armentrout – Obsidian told via Daemon’s POV? GIMME! I have two thoughts beyond that. #1 is that I’m going to have to buy the ebook at some point because it has Daemon’s POV for Onyx and Opal as well. #2 is can we please redo the cover for Opposition to match the rest of the series? Please? It makes no sense to redo the entire series covers and then release a new book with a cover matching the old ones. Come one, please?
The Iron Warrior (The Iron Fey: Call Of The Forgotten #3) by Julie Kagawa – I’m both ecstatic that I have this and terrified of it. The Iron Traitor ended horribly and I’m not sure I want to read this and finish the series, if that makes any sense.
The Redemption Of Callie And Kayden (The Coincidence #2) by Jessica Sorensen – This also needs no explanation. Sorensen is a writing god who churns out more amazing novels than should be humanly possible. One day, when I have lots of money, I’ll buy all her books. Right now, it’s just one at a time when I catch them on sale or clearance.

City Of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments #) by Cassandra Clare – I literally paid less than $5 for this on Book Outlet for their Black Friday sale. I still have to read the forth book, but I’m glad I have this for when the time comes.
