Okay all...just went to BAM to blow my Christmas bonus check (man that was FUN!!!) Karen and Jen, I did find a few books for you guys too :)

Wolf by Wolf (Wolf by Wolf, #1) by Ryan Graudin The Shadow Throne (The Ascendance Trilogy, #3) by Jennifer A. Nielsen Stolen (Heart of Dread, #2) by Melissa de la Cruz Dangerous Creatures (Dangerous Creatures, #1) by Kami Garcia Dangerous Deception (Dangerous Creatures, #2) by Kami Garcia Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle, #3) by Maggie Stiefvater The Raven King (The Raven Cycle, #4) by Maggie Stiefvater

Blue Lily and The Raven King were both in hardback. I've been wanting to get those for my collection forever! And now I can reread the first 3 books and finally read The Raven King!!!

I also got several Funko Pops: Newt Scamander (not the one I really wanted but I finally gave in) Fred & George Weasley, Dobby, Mr. Darcy from P&P& Zombies, and Mrs. Potts and Chip from Beauty and the Beast :)

I just shot a haul video and should have it up soon! When I do, I'll leave the link!

Paige Hull (izzysammy1) I just went to a discount bookstore the other day and bought Icons by Margaret Stohl. I'm halfway through and it's pretty good.
I also bought Michael Crichton's book Micro. I've been wanting to read that book for awhile so I was happy with my finds. :)

Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard was the daily deal on audible today so I grabbed it for $3.95. I need to do a reread before I read Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2) by Victoria Aveyard so an audio reread is even better!

You can't read Trials of Apollo until you've finished the Heroes of Olympus series, so I'd start with Heroes of Olympus or Magnus Chase.
