What I Got (#12)

I don't even remember when was the last time I did a What I Got. Oh wait. Yeah, I do. IT WAS IN JULY. JU-LY. How does that even happen? Well, anyway ...

What I Got is a weekly meme hosted here at Cover Analysis by me to show off our brag-worthy books and other brag-worthy things that we got during the week! :D

Things I bought/won and should of showed you but didn't feel like doing so
Wither by Lauren DeStafano
Liar & Spy (ARC) by Rebecca Stead --Thank you, Random Buzzers! (won)
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan --Yes, I know, I know. I READ IT. I'm on the PJ train now!
Hidden by Sophie Jordan (ARC) (Signed!) --Thank you, Sophie! (won)
The Alchemyst by Nicholas Flamel


Books I got for my birthday! 
Glitch by Heather Anastasiu --Got it on NetGalley but didn't read it.
Pure by Julianna Baggot --Everyone raved about this one! It's my turn!
Don't Turn Around by Michelle Gagnon --Oh my, someone hold me!
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Maragret Stohl --Finally on this train too! MOVIE IS OUT FEBRUARY. Lena, he is all yours. *runs away from the Natural but comes back to say hi*

I have some the best blogging/internet friends ever. Kristen, who knew I loved Tiger Lily, got me an ARC! Truth be told, I actually love this cover way more than the one out now. Then Jessica gave me her ARC of Immortal City and got it SIGNED for me! SERIOUSLY. Scott Speer signed it and everything!
You two are made of awesome! Love you, guys!

    1. Tiger Lily is just --unbelievable. I cried twice and I kept re-reading the ending so many times.
      Please read it! I really really liked it! The movie and fangirling has me hyped up too. :)
      SAM! THAT ENDING. I was on the bus reading it. I started tearing up and then BAM. Problem solved and I hugged my copy.
      Thank you and I sure will! :)
