THE VLOG

No vlog for this week.

I know the photo goes into the sidebar, but it looks blocky if smaller. :P

For Review:
{gr}
- Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, for release in Australia on the 4th of January 2011. Thanks to Penguin Australia for sending it for review!
I suck. I've thrown this at the top of my to-read pile.This one is the AUSTRALIAN edition, which explains the different cover. 

Bought:

Nothing

Gifted:

{gr}
- Rival bookmarks x 10, all signed by Sara Bennett Wealer herself.
She's awesome. I can't wait to read her debut novel in February! And yes, I do hope to be an unofficial part of her blog tour and giveaway some stuff, such as these bookmarks. ;)

BookMooch:

{gr}
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Can you believe I have not read this yet?
 
{gr}
- Crave by Laura Burns / Melinda Metz
This is the best condition a Bookmooch book has come in, for me. I'm not a big fan of the paranormal, but this looks good.

Won: 

Books

{gr}
