![STSmall_thumb[2]](http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xRYOk0zIv1M/T6RLOUEZ2LI/AAAAAAAAFKw/7qJhumSkSxY/STSmall_thumb%25255B2%25255D_thumb.png?imgmax=800 "STSmall_thumb[2]")
Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits & Tea, Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer & Stacking the Shelves host by Tynga’s Reviews.
What I bought for this week:
1. Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik (I saw it was on sale this week for Kindle so I had to get it!)
2. Ruby Unscripted: Life Is What Happens When You Lose the Script by Cindy Martinusen-Coloma (My daughter recommended that I get this. So I did and now she is reading it. Hopefully she will give it back when she finishes it…)
3. Austenland (Austenland #1) by Shannon Hale (This was the deal of the week! Came across it in the clearance aisle at the used book store for just a dollar!)
What I received for review:
1. Amber House by Kelly Moore, Tucker Reed, Larkin Reed
2. The Vicious Deep (The Vicious Deep #1) by Zoraida Córdova
Won:
1. Cold Kiss (Cold Kiss #1) by Amy Garvey – Thanks so much Christina from A Reader of Fictions !
2. Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful #1) by Jamie McGuire - Thank you Victoria from Confessions of a Twenty Something Fiction Writer!
What an I reading:
The Last Seer and the Tomb of Enoch by Ashland Menshouse
Look for this to be given away later this month!
What is going on this week:
I have at least one review and Waiting on Wednesday planned so far. Not much else since my kids are still ‘in school’ and I still need to grade papers and teach.
Goals:
Well I didn’t finish the 6 books like I had hoped to. Monday didn’t turn out to be a day of reading. I did however finish these 5 books:
1.The Shapeshifter’s Secret by Heather Ostler – review coming later this month
2. On the Prowl (The Others #13) by Christine Warren – I wasn’t planning on reading this but I am glad I did!
3. Wishful Thinking (Time of Transition #3) by Gabi Stevens – Another good book that I couldn’t put down until I was finished!
4. The Wrangler (Jackson Hole #5) by Lindsay McKenna – Review coming later this month.
5. Bloodrose (Nightshade #3) by Andrea Cremer – Shocked, saddened, numb… I am still trying to get over it…
So I will stick with my previous goal of 5 books a week. I think that is a much more attainable goal for me. If I read more, then great!
So far this year I have read 135 books ( 35,466 pages) towards my goal of 325 books.
So what did you receive or read this week? Leave me a link so I can drop by and check it out!
Great books! I hope you love them all!

Wow five books read and teaching..you did awesome. I am looking forward to the reviews! I am anxious to hear your thoughts on the Viscous Deep. Thanks for being a part of The Sunday Post
Wow! I really wish I could read that many books before the middle of the year! I can only read that many over the course of the entire year. I’m curious about Cold Kiss and Viscous Deep but I haven’t really gotten around to looking into them yet.
My Sunday Post
I really want to read Beautiful Disaster, it looks and sounds amazing. Enjoy.(:
Cold Kiss and The Vicious Deep looks so good, I’m so jealous that you have them! I’ve seen Epic Fail around on sale, too, but I read it from my library and it was really good!
Check out my Stacking the Shelves!
Great haul! I hope you enjoy all your new goodies. I really liked Epic Fail. If you have a few minutes I hope you’ll drop by and check out my StS post for this week
Would love to read Epic Fail and Austenland. Great haul

Hey there, this looks really good!
Epic Fail sounds like a great comedy that you can laugh over and oh my god, Austenland just looks super amazing! I love everything by Shannon Hale, lucky you for getting it (at a clearance sale no less)!!
5 books a week is very fast compared to my sluggish pace of reading *sigh* Can’t wait for your reviews on those 5 you read this week!
Congratulations on winning!
And you have The vicious deep, I’m a bit jealous, haha.
Happy reading!

Hi Dani!
It looks like you have a lot of great books! I also sometimes buy books and find my family read them before me. My sister is also a big reader.
Enjoy all your new books!
That’s a lot of reading a week, I wish I had more time to do so as well! Austenland has been on my TBR list for so long – I hope I get to read it sometime.

Austenland immediately caught my attention, but then I do so love Jane Austen’s books. I am pretty picky about adaptations, but this one sounds like a lot of fun, which is why I have added it to my wish-list. Happy reading!
Thanks for the follow & comment, I’m following you via Linky.
Lots of great books this week. I have see Beautiful Disaster everywhere and hear good things about it. I am thinking of getting the book myself. Have a good week and thanks for following at Am’s Book World.
Awesome haul, I am looking forward to reading Beautiful Disaster, it sounds really good. And 5 books a week is really good, I usually manage about 3. Enjoy all your books, thanks for stopping by my stack
Reading 5 books a week is a big commitment. I try to read that many but sometimes my choices mean I fall short. Thanks for visiting.
Epic Fail and Vicious Deep both sound really good. I have had Cold Kiss for a while and haven’t gotten to it yet.
The books look absolutely amazing! Great haul this week
Goodluck with your teaching this week! It looks like you got some great books to read for when you get a break! And I really love that your daughter has stolen one of your books! Too funny!
Hope you have a good week!

I’ve had Austenland on my TBR list for a while now. In fact at the moment I am watching the miniseries “Lost in Austen”, about a girl who is transported into the events of the book, which reminded me that I really need to read this book! Hope you enjoy your reading this week!
