Book Haul #8

I'm sorry that I missed last week, y'all! I feel like such a slacker. ;P Anywho, these last few weeks have been-- surprising to say the least. I got some awesome new books that I can't wait to read-- and a buddy read might be in the works. (One can hope!) BUT. I have big news, and so does everyone else.
Google Reader is being discontinued. I recommend Feedly. (:

Now, on to the books! (:
