Friday was my birthday and I actually did something to celebrate this year. My family and I got back yesterday from a fabulous mini vacation to some local attractions (including a bookstore ;) and I'm settling into my end of summer run around like a crazy person season, known to others as 'August'.
This lovely blurry pile pic (courtesy of my Tumblr) is a few weeks worth of book buying bountifulness :)
Hope you all are having a fabulous Monday!
Links are to Goodreads!

Katana by Cole Gibsen
Read and loved and wanted my own copy :)
Breathless by Cole Gibsen
I loved Cole's first book (Katana) and wanted to give her second book a try.
The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse
A 2012 debut and even though I told myself I would lay off the hardcovers for a while I couldn't pass this one up.
While I have read The Forsaken and have heard of several others of these books, I haven't heard of a majority of them and just discovered some new books to add to my TBR list! Nice haul and happy birthday (: Lol I wish my birthday included a tour of the local bookstore.
