I hear you Catherine! I have so many I want to read right now!!

Carve the Mark (Carve the Mark, #1) by Veronica Roth is our Feb BotM so it helps to at least cross one off the TBR. ;)

Last night a friend and I went to see a late night event at ISU--Jesse Eisenberg!! He's the actor who was Daniel Atlas in Now You See Me, and also was nominated for an Oscar in The Social Network, among tons of other things (he's also an accomplished writer--regular contributor of The New Yorker and writes plays and TV shows) Anyways he was awesome, the event was a lot of fun!

But because it was so late, we killed time beforehand at the bookstore!! I picked up:

Prudence (The Custard Protocol, #1) by Gail Carriger Black Widow Forever Red (Black Widow, #1) by Margaret Stohl Age of Myth (The Legends of the First Empire, #1) by Michael J. Sullivan

I'm very excited about all of those! I also got a Funko Pop of Batgirl on clearance for $4!!

Rose, we need to do a bookstore date again sometime!!

Hey everyone, Wool (Wool, #1) by Hugh Howey is on sale on kindle right now, but it's the animation version. If you already have it, you can redownload it into the animated version and it's so very cool!! It's the new Kindle in Motion version. I'd never heard of this before, so I'm really happy I get to see it on a Hugh Howey book that I love. We've had Hugh do a week long Q&A in here before and we loved him!

EDIT: Whoops, the sale appears to be over, but you can see the Kindle in Motion action here - https://www.amazon.com/Wool-Omnibus-K...

I've been wondering about Wires and Nerve. I really like manga but I'm not sure I like graphic novels. :/

I would be nice to read about Iko though.
