A Good Week in Books (204)

I have had an exceptionally good few weeks in books. I’ve been on vacation and picked some up at my favorite Chicago bookstores. One of said bookstores was kind enough to give me some ARCs also.  A friend of mine brought me an ARC from a library conference (thank you, Chris!). I received some new books for review (thank you, Hachette and Macmillan!). And I just picked up another little pile of ARCs from a different amazing bookstore that is also giving me ARCs to give away to kids and teens during Summer Reading. My little pile from them has me freaking out in excitement. This has been a great couple of weeks.

I’m currently at my kitchen table typing this among piles of books…It’s a dream come true. I’ve also read 3 YA books and 2 adult books in the past couple of weeks. And it’s safe to say I am out of my reading slump. Hello, summer! I have so many good books to read, and I cannot wait to get started.
