So I was like, lalala speed marathoning all my tv shows now that my papers are done and spamming twitter with ninefly over our diff American/Taiwanese/Korean(just me) shows [For the curious: ninefly - Firefly (US) and Black & White (TW), me - Vampire Diaries (US), Autumn's Concerto (TW), You're Beautiful (KR)] and then I looked at the time and was like, homg I need to post something on my book blog to prove I'm alive or something.
'sides I missed out last week and I got some really cool books (IMO anyhow) so I really wanna talk about them! =D
LAST WEEK:
The Sigh o
f Haruhi Suzumiya by Nagaru Tanigawa (bought)The sequel to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya!! Which was only like, ONE OF THE MOST EPIC JAPANESE LIGHT NOVELS EVAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR~~~!!! *___* I haven't gotten around to reading this yet due to school (cursesssss) and being waylaid by tv shows, but I willllll find time when the holidays come around and I finish the last of my exams. *determined*
Bound By Your Touch by Meredith Dura
n (borrowed)Honestly, nothing could have induced me to check this out of the library if it weren't for the fact that Sarah Rees Brennan enticed me with her Book Summaries of Awesome to ignore the hideous, hideous cover and check out some Meredith Duran stuff. I finished it and it's gonna appear on my Triple Snapshot feature soon. =D
Last Week's Book Count: 2
THIS WEEK:
The Summ
oning +
The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong (swapped)
I swapped Warchild in order to borrow these two books. While I can't say it was worth the trade, the series was an interesting read and I enjoyed it despite its issues. There shall be meta post on this series soon.
Born Confused
by Tanuja Desai Hidier (bought)Got it half price!! =D As this is a book from the PUSH line, I'm pretty sure I read this book already back in middle school when I was in a major PUSH phase. But I don't really remember much from it except that I thought it was funny and I liked the girl's sister (tres cool. xD). This is, if I'm remembering the right book, lol. If this book does happen to be the one I remember from childhood, I'll post it under the Throwback Thursday feature. =D
This Week's Book Count: 3*
*This excludes all book gifts I bought this week.

I feel kinda bad that I'm not reading more atm, but seriously, i need to squee over B&W or else my mind will never rest DDD8
yeah, that bound by your touch cover is kinda blinding, though i'm trying to get over that bias...
The Summoning + The Awakening...these covers look rather generic (aka "girl holding something delicately"), I swear I've seen a gazillion covers with that second cover's pose =T
MISSY, DON'T YOU HAVE SOME EXAMS TO STUDY?! (ignores my own hypocrisy)
Yeah, BBYT is NOT kind on the eyes... *shudders*
But... Object pretty? Though I admit I don't like the covers very much. Why the cut-up faces, whyyyyyyy?
Kinda glad I didnt read the summoning.
