I can't quit Jennifer Echols . Not that I really try that hard, but I read her new ones and often feel as though I'm still searching for that one in possession of that certain something that will make me feel the way Going Too Far did. Like I couldn't put it it down. And definitely like I didn't hate either of the main characters after the fact. Well, I found it with Such a Rush . I read this 300+ pager in a single night, which clears up the question of whether or not I couldn't put it down. And I finished it definitely not hating either of the main characters. I didn't finish it loving them both unreservedly, though. I loved Leah with my whole heart from page one and that never changed. My feelings regarding one of the Hall brothers remain complicated. More to come on this in a bit. On a side note, I'm delighted that Such a Rush is Ms. Echols' hardcover debut. It's a meticulously designed book, a pleasure to hold in my hands as I stayed up way
Am not jealous, am not jealous.
ReplyDeleteWhatever, I'm TOTALLY jealous!
And what a haul it is! I should have asked you to pick up some for me!
ReplyDeleteniiiiice. I'm jealous...there I said it.

ReplyDeleteOh I am totally jealous!
Um, wow!
ReplyDeleteWhere did they all come from?!?
Pretties! I'm so glad I went to BEA too or I'd be sooooo envious! I really like how this picture has a border around it. How do you get that? It's cool.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Have fun reading.
ReplyDeleteWHOA... that is a serious haul, Angie! You lucky, lucky girl. :-) Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteJanssen, next year...next year...repeat it like a mantra. :)
ReplyDeleteJennie, I think I grabbed a copy of everything I could. It was like a feast.
Mandi, grin. I understand. I have a hard time believing it myself!
Kath, those were the three I was most excited about I think! I just finished FIRE last night and cannot wait to review it. Really looking forward to FOREST BORN and CATCHING FIRE.
mjmbecky, lol. I will enjoy. And I will be giving away some of them, too. So stay tuned!
Liza, I know. *sigh* The stacks are multiplying and migrating throughout the house!
Harmony, they are all galleys I picked up at BEA (Book Expo America).
Janice, I'm so glad you went too! The secret to my border is a Photoshopping husband. ;)
Liviana, thanks! I think fun is in the cards this time.
Kay, it really is serious. I'm gonna have to come up with some sort of system for deciding which one to read next.
I, myself, am deeply jealous. ;) Where's my UPS package of books? LOL!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them! :)
Ooohhhhhhh...
ReplyDeleteKaren W., I'm sorry! :)
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, I know. *strokes the pretties*
I'm so glad you got a copy of Soulless. I meant to ask you if you knew about it when we were waiting on the Ballad line. It looks very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI also took pictures of my books even though I don't plan to post them anywhere. I was just so pleased with everything I picked up, I wanted a picture.

ReplyDeleteoooh, so jealous :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, I'm really looking forward to SOULLESS. She seemed very nice and offered me tea and cookies after signing my book. :) And I would love to see your picture of your haul!
ReplyDeleteChelle, I plan on plowing through the stack.
