Things+ Book Haul + Weekly Recap

OKAY. This week has been absolutely exhausting. Here's what I've done

• Schedule a ton of posts
• Rearrange my schedule a dozen times
• Start preparing for Bloggy Awards 2013
• Talk blog tours
• Start my 25 question/page 25 page packet
• Find the perfect background for Merp Squad Blog Tours (You should totes sign up) 
• Design the button and banner for Bloggy Awards 2013
• REDESIGNEG MY BLOG (which, I know, isn't perfect. It's still in the works and if my blog is unavailable, it's because it's so hideous at this point that I want no one seeing it.)

So if you'll notice, there are a few changes around the blog. The background is definitely the most obvious one and I absolutely LOVE it. The banner has a new shape and a sort of border thing I really love. Eileen helped me put sparkles on the gadget/widget names and I have new contact buttons! I totally love it so far! 

Seriously, just compare them:

ANYWHO. I didn't get anything this week, but I didn't do a book haul last week so here it is. Except I am way too exhausted to do the half an hour process of finding the books, taking a pic, etc. So NO PICS. SO SORRY.

Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Dare You To by Katie McGarry

LOVED Linked, although the first part definitely wasn't it's best. Excited for Another Little Piece but with so many review books it's gone down my TBR! EEP! Sounds totally creepy though. I love the Faerie Ring series by Kiki Hamilton and can NOT wait to read the next installment!

Excited to read The Last Dance, although apparently few liked it. Hmm. Not going to read The Weather Witch because I can NOT fit the book anywhere in my reviewing schedule and it's gotten a ton of negative reviews which sucks since it sounded wonderful! And yes. Yes that is another copy of Linked. The day after my bought Linked came I got one from S&S. Sigh. Sending the bought one to a friend though! Hoping she loves it!

Awesome dude named Frodo on twitter bought these for me! LOVED Pushing the Limits and desperately wanted Dare You To. I had an ARC of PTL and I NEED matching formats, so after I went begging on twitter, he got me both! YAY!
