Happy 2011 everyone!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Now that all the parties are over and everyone is nursing a nasty little hangover, I hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far! I know I am. Borders is having a sale. *sigh* I love Borders sales. Target is having a great sale too.

At Borders I got...

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves

The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

I can't get over how much I love the Slice of Cherry cover. I collect tea cups (part of my massive Alice in Wonderland collection) and even though the tea cups are covered in blood, I think the cover is very interesting and it definitely caught my eye. I can't wait to read that book.

At Target I got...

Glee Season 1

Castle season 2

Peter Pan (2003 edition with Jeremy Sumpter)

All that for $55. Can't really beat those prices really.

For Christmas I also ended up getting an ereader so I've been getting ebooks as well. So far I'm off to a great year.

How is everyone elses year starting?

I love getting comments! I'm always checking to see if I have any new comments. It's actually pretty sad how often I check for them really. So if there is anything you want to say about a post of mine, please say it! I want feedback :)

As of lately, I'm making the blog a no-award blog. I love getting them and I'm always honored, but I don't have the time to do all the things that are required of them. Sorry :(
Also, my "reply" button does not seem to be working in my comments on my computer. I have to use a different computer to reply back so if I don't reply, it's not because I'm rude, it's just that I can't.
