Monthly Recap [February 2015] - Oops! I Did It Again

In all honesty, this month I battled a dragon, got into a love triangle with a knight and a farmer, defeated the queen and became queen of a magical land known as Canadia. [But seriously, wouldn't it be so much cooler of Canada was called Canadia? It would be so magical!]

Really, my month was pretty mundane. I've just gotten into the swing of second semester and it feels so weird to not have the same schedule all year! What even? I could tell you about how the boy who broke my heart is in one of my classes and I still have to see him. Every. Day. Or even worse: that I still sort of like him, but I'm going to focus on a positive.

I'm acing all my classes so far. And it's early in the semester so at least I'm doing well for now. I have a 101 in Religion, 93 in Science and a 96 in Music. Whoo! However, that also means that I've read like three books this month. At night, you can faintly hear me muttering to myself in shame [considering that my January consisted of me reading like eighteen books.]

One thing that did happen was that I got to reenact the Divergent knife throwing scene in my Geography class. Since I am one heck of a sassy biscuit my teachers love [or tolerate] me. I've really grown on them like fungus. 

Anyway, I was on my phone in class and suddenly, a softball comes out of nowhere and smacks the phone in my hand and scares the crap out of me. [Yes, I know what you're all asking: the phone is okay.] My teacher goes "dang" because she was trying to hit me in the head and missed [I'm not supposed to be on my phone.] So I may have challenged her to do just that. That caused the entire class' attention to focus on us while I stood target for the teacher and we ended up not having to do any work for the rest of the period.

PS: She never did hit me in the head.

Review

I got a great number of eARCs and a few physicals. I'm actually mellowing out on getting ARCs. I remember that I used to get SO MANY [more than months had days!] and even though that had its fun, I'm glad to have such an easier reading schedule.

Thanks so much to Raincoast for All The Rage, Life Unaware and Don't Stay Up Late.
Raincoast also sent me some fabulous eARCs: I'll Meet You There, Shutter, Save Me, Becoming Jinn and The Novice. I have no idea how I'll read them all, but I'll try!

Note: the audiobook of Ensnared isn't for review. I received it from Eli Madison's giveaway. Thank you so much, Eli. And thank you Anita!

I've also gotten a few books on Netgalley and Edelweiss from my own requests. Thanks so much Disney-Hyperion for Every Last Word. And thanks Random House for The Girl at Midnight. Also, I was able to get The Remedy [which I LOVED] and The Summer of Chasing Mermaids on Edelweiss because Simon and Schuster is epic.

Library

And you might be thinking... WHAT, there's MORE? Oops I did it again. I took too many books. And I am so ashamed. So I'm not even going to take a picture.
I have a few of the Spook's Apprentice series books and Take Me On.

The only other announcement is that I'm starting Triple AMA! Watch for Monday's INTRO POST. Authors this year that are participating are Gretchen McNeil, Jodi Meadows, Katie McGarry, Jennifer Niven and Mindy McGinnis!

It's about to get bookish in here.
