I had a really great week. Only two days of school and four glorious days to read, read, read, and read. Thanksgiving was awesome because I didn't have to cook, just eat and enjoy my family. About the only thing I didn't get accomplished were my reviews, but I am working on them.
Books Read:
Tyger Tyger by Kersten Hamilton
Loved how the mythology and real world collide in this story, and Hamilton's story telling is luscious.
Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohen and David Levithan
Terrific story, with fantastic characters, and a very special romance that had me wishing I was young again and had a red journal to write in.
A truly lovely tale, filled with magical wonder.
I will be reviewing this soon and have a guest post with author Kathi Appelt too.
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Definitely as good as the reviews I have read say and then some!
I loved Hex Hall, but Demanglass is one of the most amazing sequels I have read in a very long time. It left me breathless and frustrated because I have such a long wait for book 3 argh! Hawkins is awesome and I am a BIG fan.
Currently Listening to:
I really loved The Knife of Never Letting Go and was so surprised by the ending, I just had to find out what happened next.
Currently Reading:
Nightspell by Leah Cypess
Make sure you stop by on Wednesday, Dec 21, to help me kick off my
21 Day Blogoversary and Birthday Bash

Wow, you had a great reading week & I'm so jealous of those books! I've only read Tyger Tyger from them & all the others are on my tbr/wishlist, except Keeper, so I'll be waiting for your review, because it sounds good :) Happy reading & listening ;)
Wow you had a great week. Also finished Tyger Tyger and it was amazing. The ask and the answer book I am saving for the Dystopia challenge I am participating next year. Glad you liked it.
The more I see of Tyger Tyger the more I want to read it...hmmm, may be time to add it to the list! Check out my Monday here

What a fun week of reading! Demonglass and Nightspell are both on my can't-wait-to-read list, so I'm terribly jealous! :)
That's a great list.
I love the graphics on your blog.
Tyger Tyger is on my wish list as well as Delirium!
And Oh! I did not know the sequel for Hex Hall was out!!! Adding Demon Glass to my list as well!
I'm reading Delirium now! I'm so glad to see you loved it! :)
Ahhh I'm so jealous you have Demonglass! Hex Hall was one of my favorite reads this year and I'm dying to get more of the story! Can't wait to read your review of that one. And I'm really excited for Delirium as well, I've heard such wonderful things:)
I'm so glad you're enjoying The Ask & The Answer. I was completely taken by surprise at how awesome the Chaos Walking trilogy is, and although I'm anxious to see what happens in Monsters of Men, I'm kind of sad to see it end.
I'm so jealous that you've read Demonglass! I can't wait to read that one! Hope you have another great reading week :)
Oh wow, I'd give anything to be reading those fabulous books on your list. I'm very curious about your Tyger, Tyger review - I've been dying to read that one for quite some time now! Hope that all your reads are swoon-worthy :)
Your reading was off-the-hook this week!!! I have a copy of Keeper and have made a note to read this one for sure!!!
I just finished Mistwood and can`t wait for Nightspell. Hope you have another great reading week.
Wow, lots of good reads, Jan! I listened to Keeper om audio and enjoyed it.
How nice that you had such a relaxing holiday weekend with so much reading time!

Looks like you had a good weekend of reading. Not much on my plate this week as I'm writing papers. Here's what I'm reading this week.
What a great week! I've had Keeper on my list for awhile, I should read it soon :)
Hope you have a great one this week too!
I'm glad you liked Dash and Lily's! I'm so looking forward to reading it.
I'll be reading The Ask and the Answer next week after I finish The Kinfe of Never Letting Go!
Wow! You had an incredible week of reading! I just bought Dash & Lily yesterday and I can't wait to pick it up now, I keep hearing such great things. And now I want to read Demonglass!
Have a fabulous reading week and thank you so much for stopping by earlier!
I just picked up Hex Hall at Marshall's for $3.00. Three. Dollars. wow. Not sure when I'm going to read it though.
I'm always in awe at the books you read and review. :)
Wow fantastic line-up of books, you've done terrible things to my tbr pile :)
I've got Delirium coming up soon so glad to hear you loved it and I've also got Hex Hall waiting for me!
Have a wonderful week and happy reading :)
