I got a great shipment of books in last night, but I filmed on Thursday and was too lazy to redo it, so those will be shown in next week's. Thus, small haul this week.

For Review:

The Original 1982 - Lori Carson

Black Spring - Alison Croggon

Freakboy - Kristin Elizabeth Clark

Purchased:

Second Chance Summer - Morgan Matson

*Thanks so much to TLC Book Tours, William Morrow, Candlewick and MacKids!*

Anonymous said...: I haven't seen too many reviews on Black Spring, but it sounds pretty interesting, so I'm looking forward to your thoughts. And - Second Chance Summer! Loads of people seemed to enjoy it, though it never really got my attention. Anyhow, I still hope you enjoy it. Have a lovely week, and enjoy all your new books!; May 11, 2013 at 12:23 PM
Amy said...: Haha!! I filmed my vlog on Thursday too, but then got a whole bunch of other stuff so added on. Black Spring sounds interesting! I have Freakboy too and I have only ever listened to books written in verse, never actually read any, but it sounds great!; May 11, 2013 at 12:51 PM
Dorky Girl said...: I would love to review Freak Boy! I also love you and your cat lol my cats love boxes too.; May 11, 2013 at 2:50 PM
Ashleigh Paige said...: Fuck yeah, it's my weekly dose of Percy being adorable. :D

I got my copy of Freakboy last week and I want to dig into it already! If only I didn't have so many more urgent things in front of it. Maaaaybe I can sneak it in because it's in verse and therefore actually short...; May 11, 2013 at 6:14 PM
Amber (Books of Amber) said...: Percy is soooo cute! My cats would never let me pick them up like that. Probably because they hate me.

I haven't read any books that are written in verse yet! I'm curious about Freakboy.

I *adored* Second Chance Summer. I'm a bit nervous to see what you think to be honest haha *bites nails* Let me know if you cry! Mwahahahaha.; May 12, 2013 at 1:27 PM
Unknown said...: Lol I wish my cat let me hold her like a baby. She's likely to claw my eyes out, she's such a shit.
Black Spring sounds intriguing, looking forward to seeing what you think! Second Chance Summer is one I might have to check out... been accumulating some nice summer reads, will have to add that to the list.
Happy Reading. :)
My Showcase Sunday!; May 12, 2013 at 4:11 PM
Kara_Malinczak said...: Percy is adorable this week as usual. I love how he lets you hold him every which way. My dog gets held like a baby often as well. She tolerates it with the same stinkeye he gave you. :D

You should have told me you wanted Second Chance Summer. I have a hardcover copy I would have let you borrow. And that's only because I haven't read it yet.; May 12, 2013 at 7:35 PM
Dragana M. said...: Why do I always after watching you video and up requesting some book from NetGalley? I love retellings and 'Black Spring' sounds promising.

I hope 'Freakboy' turns out to be interesting and not painful experience. I don't know why but except for 'Les Fleurs du Mal' by Charles Baudelaire I never could read whole book of poetry written by the same author. I love reading anthologies though.

And Percy can't fool me with that long suffering look, he's enjoying himself - he's just too proud to admit it. ;); May 13, 2013 at 2:17 AM
Christina said...: Percy loves ALL of the boxes.; May 13, 2013 at 9:08 AM
Christina said...: I'm sure I will.; May 13, 2013 at 9:10 AM
Christina said...: I haven't either. The GR rating is rather low, which worries me, but I'm going to go in with an open mind. Sometimes I love things others don't, so who knows.; May 13, 2013 at 9:49 AM
Christina said...: You're such a good blogger. I thought about refilming and was just like NOPE TOO MUCH WORK. Haha.; May 13, 2013 at 9:52 AM
Christina said...: Cats in boxes are the cutest.; May 13, 2013 at 9:57 AM
Christina said...: :)

Me too. I'm like...it's short, so I should totally just knock it out. But then people would be like WHY ARE YOU REVIEWING THIS SO EARLY, BITCH? Which doesn't super bother me, but, still, I would fall behind, so let's not deal with the drama, ya know?; May 13, 2013 at 9:58 AM
Christina said...: Ha, there's not much Percy won't let me do to him. He knows who's boss.

I've only read one and another with some poems. So we'll see. I am branching out!

Eeeh, I'm nervous too, since I will hate myself if I branched out and bought a book by an unfamiliar author and it's awful for me.; May 13, 2013 at 10:01 AM
Christina said...: Percy wouldn't do that to me, because he knows he would be in BIG trouble. Poor dear knows what's up.

*crosses fingers on Black Spring*; May 13, 2013 at 10:05 AM
Christina said...: Girl, how do you hold that giant dog like a baby? How? And you're short. I don't even understand how that is possible.

Oh, no worries. I suspect it will be one I want to own and reread someday.; May 13, 2013 at 10:06 AM
Christina said...: Hahaha, that's awesome!

*crosses fingers* I don't like painful reading experiences.

If Percy were really unhappy, he would make that very evident. He was mildly displeased at worst. He's a pretty chill cat.; May 13, 2013 at 10:53 AM
Amy said...: Yeah, I so wasn't going to refilm, but since I hadn't posted my video to YouTube yet, I just filmed another one and added it to my first one. Much easier. Lol!! If it had been like 2 or 3 things I wouldn't have, but it ended up being like 7 so I felt like I should. *sigh*; May 13, 2013 at 12:25 PM
Micheline said...: Perseus is gorgeous - I have a soft spot for gingers :) I love how snuggly he looks too! Ok moving on haha, nice haul too! Second Chance Summer sounds good and I'm digging that cover. I'm curious about Freakboy too. Enjoy!; May 13, 2013 at 4:10 PM
Christina said...: I love my ginger. He's so sweet. Not the snuggliest, but he'll put up with most things. Haha.; May 14, 2013 at 10:49 AM
