Weekly wrap-up: May 4-10

Oh, gosh. I maybe went just a leeeetle bit overboard with the book buying this week....

Completed:

Mila 2.0 (Mila 2.0 #1) - Debra Driza: 4 stars. Very enjoyable sci fi!
Renegade (Mila 2.0 #2) - Debra Driza: 4 stars. Full review here.
"Origins: The Fire" (Mila 2.0 #0.5) - Debra Driza: 3 stars. Well-written novella, but I just don't think it's necessary. It adds nothing to the overall plot.

Reread:

Lips Touch: Three Times - Laini Taylor & Cassandra Campbell: 4.5 stars. I am really sad that there's no way for beautiful audio to include Jim's beautiful artwork, but this is still a great adaptation of Laini's writing.

Currently Reading:

Wish You Were Italian - Kristin Rae
Gameboard of the Gods audiobook - Richelle Mead. The narrator is a little excitable when she's reading the action scenes, which is distracting, but I'm really enjoying this one so far! 13 discs, though. This is the longest audiobook I've had in a loooong while.

New to my bookshelf this week:

Finding It - Cora Carmack
Brooklyn Girls - Gemma Burgess
Let the Storm Break - Shannon Messenger
Going Vintage - Lindsey Leavitt
Beautiful Darkness - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

The One - Kiera Cass (2 copies)
Open Road Summer - Emery Lord

Half Price Books:
Divergent (Divergent #1) - Veronica Roth Also going back
Dreams of Gods & Monsters audiobook - Laini Taylor. This was a total splurge, but when it was right in front of my face, I couldn't NOT buy it!
Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) - Richelle Mead. Also a splurge but SO WORTH IT. I need to reread this anyway before I start on the sequel.

My wonderful friend & TLA roomie Karen of Teen Librarian Toolbox knew I was upset about missing Jim & Kiersten's signing at TLA and gave me this beautiful book. THANK YOU, KAREN!!! (PS Check out the cover of Victoria Scott's The Warrior. Karen totally wrote that blurb! Congrats!)

Borrowed:
