Audiobooks:
Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta- I heard so many wonderful, fantastic, raving, loving things about Melina Marchetta that I finally decided I need to own a book by her even though I will not be reading for a few months. I hope I will not be disappointed since everybody loves her writing and I would hate to be the odd girl out since I usually am.
One Night that Changes everything by Lauren Barnholdt- Two-Way Street by Barnholdt is my SECOND favorite book (also, did you know there will a comaonion book to Two-Way Street *squeals!!!!!!!*) and I read the first few chapters of this book as a sample and it had the Lauren Barnholdt hilarity only Barnholdt herself can write so I'm excited to listen to this one as well.
What did you get this past week? leave me a link (: and also, spring break is over *sobs* )':
 It sure isn't!
Why is Pikachu soooo cute? Even when crying!
 *sigh* how does Zac Efron do it? I don't look that sexy *swoon* while I cry.
But at least SEVENTY FOUR days until the SUMMER bitches! woooho! I'll leave you with a fun picture to make up for all the crying.
^ yup, that just happened to me. Yoann, you sexy beast!
 Okay, god knows how I went from my IMM to ovaries exploding but just leave me your IMM links and I'll check them out. LOOOL.

Audiobooks:
What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen~ I actually think I will not like this book despite the fact that I love Sarah Dessen. I just read a couple of reviews and from what I took from them, I'm setting up my self for disappointed with this book and the only reason I'm reading/listening to it is because it's Sarah Dessen.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern~ I actually listened to a minute of this audiobook and regretted it. I HATE the narrator grrr and before getting it, I didn't know you could preview an audiobook. Oh well, I'll live.
Netgalley:
The Summer My Life Began by Shannon Greenland ~this looks fun and cute. Definitely excited to start it!
Do you have any YA audiobook recommendations? I'm trying to listen to more audiobooks:D

This week has been fabulous and it makes me SO happy since I haven't received anything for a few week:D

Won from Goodreads:
Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin- I CANNOT explain the ECSTASY I felt when I won this book, like honestly I was just engulfed in JOY and when I received this in the mail, there might or might not have been tears, squealing, jumping around and running to show everyone in my house what just came. Why? Because this is one of 2012 most anticipated reads for me and I now have it in my hands<3 It just seems SOOO good!
Received as part of blog tour:
Awkward by Marni Bates- I'm part of the book tour for this book, stop on March 19th for a guest post from Marni Bates :D and I'm excited to read this because my friend Jennie loved it!
Netgalley:
Breaking Beautiful by : First of all, this is contemporary OF COURSE I want to read it. Second, this YET ANOTHER book on my 2012 most books!
Grave Mercy by : Have you read the summary of this book? Arranged Marriage? Assassins? Holy moly this book was written for ME.
The Stone Girl by : This book looks like an intense, intense read and I can't wait to dive into it.
Innocent Darkness by Suzanne Lazear: Ever since I fell in love with Dearly, Departed, I've had a weak spot for steampunk novels and just WOW look at that cover! It looks badass! And it's about Faeries? While my track with Faerie isn't a good one, I try to not judge books by other books so I'm hoping for the best:D
Blogspiration is a weekly meme hosted by both GrowingUp YA and Saz101. The meme was created to help spark inspiration among bloggers, readers and writers alike. An inspirational quote/picture/video is posted weekly so that it may inspire creativity, conversation and just a little SOMETHING.
Anyone, any age, any gender, any race, ethnicity, nationality can read and find a book they like that YOU also like. so fear not, you are NEVER EVER alone when reading a book because somewhere  out there is another person who loves that one book as much as I do. Don't let negative reviews turn you away from books or make you ashamed for liking a book, there is always someone who feels just like you ;D
What inspired that paragraph form this^ picture? Well, even guys with nice abs who have girls read, so maybe us book lovers aren't so alone after all.
 Enjoy the rest of your weekend, for me I cannot wait for it to be over so Tuesday 7:00 pm can be here so I can see the love of my life, Enrique Iglesias, in concert!!!!!!!!

From Kindle store:
Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens- I really enjoyed Jennifer Laurens Nailed and while Heavenly is definitely a different genre, I'm hoping the writing is just as great!
Notes to Self by Avery Sawyer- my excuse for every contemporary book I get: it's contemporary, DUH!

Pretty simple: each person own self comes first before anyone else (you got to love yourself before you can love anyone else) which means no matter what, we will be let down and we will let people down. It's never hatred, just how life revolves. So I find consolations in books. A fictional world of escape. A bubble of a new reality that makes us feels less lonely. Books are perfect cures and companions.
Don't forget to share your IMM & Blogspiration. Keep reading ♥

The reason I'm doing both IMM & Blogspiration in one post is because it's the end of the week and I just want to leave everyone already here with this lovely inspirational picture to hopefully encourage them to have a lovely week:D


Yes indeed, reading is the magical key to the world of dreaming and dreaming is the magical world of happiness.


Dreaming is what makes us go places, what makes us accomplish things, what drives us and inspires us. What makes us look forward to the night so we can wake up to the next lovely morning♥
leave me some love and your IMM or Blogspiration post:D
