A Shell Full of Books: The Missing Months

7:52 AM a shell full of books, IMM, the missing months 2 comments

This is my version of IMM.

This edition is for all the months I've been gone because college is CRAZY!

Here are the books:

There are only a few books that I actually bought. Most of them are the ones that aren't YA novels. There are a few more books that I have bought, but they aren't YA, so I didn't take a pic of them.

There are some I traded for, but not much.

Thank you so much to all the bloggers that I won these books from.

I will try to list them all. Sorry if you were one of them and I forgot about you.

UPDATE:

So, many you have noticed I haven't really been blogging much or reviewing much at all this past month.

This week we get a few days off, so I'm hoping to get my review of Rapture out to you guys soon. The next post after this one will be a cover reveal (again) because covers just keep coming and coming.

The Shocking Surprise

So a few weeks ago I got an email saying this:

"You won the box framed cover art of TEN in the #NewRecruits giveaway! Please send me your mailing address and I will get it ordered ASAP!

Commander-in-Chief (aka Gretchen)

The Army of Ten"

I thought: "Cool. I won a box with the cover of Ten on it. Sweet."

But not, this is what I got:

It's HUGE! And I mean huge. It's a painting basically. I have no clue where I'm going to put it. But it's awesome. :D I love it. Just wish the book came with it too.

But thank you Commander-in-Chief Gretchen!

Well, that's all.

Until Next Time!
