    Yay for vlogs - I did my first one for this week's IMM too :) Love the idea with the mask!

    I hadn't heard of Sophomore Switch, but it sounds great - I'm always looking for more new adult books, so I'm adding it to my wishlist :)

    I haven't heard of most of your books, so enjoy them all! Ah, you remind me that I need to catch up on my PRINCESS DIARIES! I would recommend reading GOOSE GIRL before RIVER SECRETS if you haven't done so. And I can't remember if ENNA BURNING is before or after RIVER SECRETS. Love Shannon Hale, though! And GRAVE MERCY, yay, soooo good. Enjoy!

    Your Venetian mask is gorgeous! I have one from my trip to Italy a few years back, and I just think they're so precious. I have Grave Mercy for review as well, and I'm excited to finally get into it. Great haul!

    Nice list of books this week. I really love the Vampire Academy series. I thought it would be another vampire book but it was really entertaining.
    Happy reading,

      Thanks, Audrey!! Hopefully this will be the first vlog of many :)

      Not sure when the last Book Warehouse location shuts down but I know one of them is closing in May... :(

    Nice mask! Your hair is gorgeous :)

    Thank you for the mention! I hope you love Where I Want to Be. I'm not even an issues book lover and I loved that book. Adele has such a way with words.

    Oh my, Grave Mercy IS huge! I didn't realize how big it is (the ARC I read is all funny shaped like a big square, so it looks less thick). It's SO good though! I was wishing there were more pages :P

      Awww, thanks Small!

      I enjoyed both Tighter and Picture the Dead, and this one sounds very psychological, so chances are I will like it too :) Hopefully I'll get to read it for Psychtember this year!

      I know, Grave Mercy is ginormous. Kind of daunting, actually! O_O
