After this weekend, I will be taking a wee break from blogging for the holidays, but will still be reachable by email, twitter, and facebook. Happy Holidays and see you in 2013!!
I am DYING to read City of a Thousand Dolls! It sounds awesome. And EEEP, Mara Dyer #2 is AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books, Aylee, and happy holidays! :)

Awesome book haul this week! :) I am new to your blog, and I love how you did a "vlog" posting for your STS! I have to read "The Bridge to Terabithia" for one of my University classes; so I hope you enjoy it more than me when I have to analyse it, lol! Also, the Evolution of Mara Dyer - have only heard amazing things from everyone! I still have to read the first one, but honestly it is on my "Must Read: to-read" pile, lol. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to finally get my hands on a copy of The Evolution of Mara Dyer. I hope it is just as good if not better than the first book!

I reallly need to get on the Mara train.
ReplyDeleteElla Enchanted!!!!! It was the first fairytale retelling I ever read. Hooked ever since :)
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of some of those, I have the Myra Dyer one, is all. Have fun with them, and enjoy your hodidays. I actually had to do my Christmas dinner today, so am tired now, but glad its out of the way, as I cooked for 2 days, lol I will probably be the only one online on Christmas. lol

Bridge to Terabithia is one of my favorite children's books. I loved the film too!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday break. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yay! Mara Dyer! I need to reread the first one, but I was so happy to get the second one ... that's a 2013 must! :) Merry Christmas, Aylee!
ReplyDeleteOh yay you got the package. I hope you enjoy it. Pantomime looks SO good. I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Aylee!!
I still need to read the new Mara Dyer! I hope it's good! Enjoy!

Bridge to Terabithia and Ella Enchanted were both childhood favourites of mine. :) Neither movie adaption was quite as good as the book, though! Also, Pantomime and City of a Thousand Dolls sound insanely good - I hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas :)
Squee! City of a Thousand Dolls sounds amazing! I would love to borrow it once you've finished.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ella Enchanted is such a great book. One of my favourites!
By the way, I tried to tweet you about it, but I was wondering if you wanted my extra ARC of Midwinter Blood by Marcus Sedgwick. I saw it on your WoW a while ago and I thought you might want an ARC. If you already got one, no worries!
Pantomime sounds great and CITY OF A THOUSAND DOLLS *high fangirl scream* I can't wait to read that book. The cover is gooorgeous and I love fantasy. Happy, happy reading Aylee!
ReplyDeleteMy haul - Mel@thedailyprophecy.
Argh! City of a Thousand Dolls looks so good! I cant wait for it!
ReplyDeleteMy Book Haul! Letterbox Love!
Happy Holidays!
Ohhh City of a Thousand Dolls sounds AMAZING. Hadn't heard of it before, but it's definitely going on my TBR list. I'm also really excited for Pantomime, and I definitely want to read the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy these and happy holidays! :)
I'm hoping to start the Mara Dyer series over the holidays. Fingers crossed that I can get a lot of reading done.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying for City of a Thousand Dolls! LOVE the concept of it. I hope you enjoy The Evolution of Mara Dyer. I just can't even talk about the ending..I just ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.... *zips lips*

Awww I'm sorry you've had a hellish month Aylee! I hope the new year starts out better for you:) On the upside, you did get Evolution of Mara Dyer, and that's a complete WIN. Noah will make you feel better for sure:) I can't wait for City of a Thousand Dolls, I've been waiting for what feels like forever for that one. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays:):):)
City of a Thousand Dolls sounds so, so good! I hope you like it! I still need to read The Evolution of Mara Dyer too, but just like you, after that cliffhanger, I NEED to know what happens! Enjoy your new reads! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post and Happy Holidays!

OMG, Aylee, Pantomime is going to totally surprise you! That book has a major secret. I found it unlike anything I've read. Don't much like Mara Dyer, but I'm such a fangirl for The City Of Thousand Dolls- the cover is gorgeous and a South Asian inspired fantasy? This Asian says bring it on :D Have a great Holiday season!
ReplyDeleteStrange Chemistry just rocks my oceans! I am so ecstatic to see you'll be reading Pantomime right along with me. And oh, mama's apron I can't wait for The Pirate's Wish. I'm having trouble just breathing while thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd. GET. OUT. OF. FIRE! You got a copy of City of a Thousand Dolls!?! Oh, I wish I was you and while I was you I'd fumble through the pages and sniff the cover and caress the spine. LUCKY. YOU'RE SO LUCKY. I need a copy ASAP.
Also: it's so lovely to see your face <3. AND STOP TEMPTING ME. I can't afford to add Unbecoming/Evolution onto my TBR, darn it.
I really need to read the first Mara Dyer book! And City of a Thousand Dolls sounds really good, such a sweet haul this past week.
ReplyDeleteLe sigh! I am sitting here with my husband with one of my brats sleeping right beside me so I can't watch the vlog but I will definitely make a point to come back tomorrow and watch it!
Happy Holidays, Aylee!
City of A Thousand Dolls is at the top of my to read list for 2013-- absolutely can't wait to read your review of it! Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite fantasy reads from when I first got into the genre; hope you enjoy all of these and had a great Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year ;)!
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy.
Dying to read City of a Thousand Dolls!!! I'll be curious to know what you think of it when you read it! Same goes for The Holders :D Also, I'd seen Pantomime around but I didn't know much about it. If it's fantasy I'll definitely have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the used classics you got a hold of too - both must reads for me as well :)
Happy New Year Aylee ♥ Hope you had happy holidays & all the best for 2013!
