Ha yeah I used to like every other weekend and I was mad when I realized I had to stop spending so much money on books so I'm actually glad my library didn't have a YA section and now they do and they actually seem up to date (: that and nobody else will buy me books unless it's my birthday or Christmas

I just got The Shadow Society by Marie Rutkoski in the mail I've started it and I'm loving it do far.

I also went to the bookstore to get my friend a present so of course I got a book but I limited myself to one Flesh and Bone (Benny Imura, #3) by Jonathan Maberry I didn't even know this was out and when I saw it I
Instantly had to get it. I wish I had a card that just let me spend huge amounts on books for free I'd have the whole YA section in the store. Anyways what have you gotten recently?
