Life Tidbits
- As I mentioned in my vlog, work has been very busy. I love my job, but I am definitely feeling a bit overwhelmed. It’s either so busy, or there’s a draught.
- Spring is here, you guys! It hasn’t been particularly warm, but it hasn’t been cold. And the sun!!! She’s here and shining her beautiful face down on Syracuse. Woot, woot!
- I bought this giant tub of Nutella at the store last weekend, even though I knew I shouldn’t. But hey, it’s been a tasty week. Note to self – pick up crackers for Nutella tomorrow 🙂
- I ordered a Cath Kidson bag from Ebay. It’s the first time I ever ordered anything from Ebay, and I hope I am not disappointed. The seller had great feedback, and the bag is sooooo cute. I can’t wait until it gets here.

That is a sweet haul. 🙂 I’ve heard good things about Etiquette & Espionage so I’m looking forward to your thoughts on that one.
I hope things get less busy for you and you get some nice relaxation time in! 🙂
Thanks, I hope so, too. I’m excited to read Etiquette & Espionage. It looks like so much fun.
I’m want to read Etiquette & Espionage! I’ve also got Dash & Lily’s Book Of Dares. Haven’t got round to reading it yet though! Happy Reading 😀
Hopefully I get to them soon. As they say, so many books, so little time. 🙂
Mmm Nutella 🙂 Ebay is awesome 🙂 Oh right, yeah BOOKS!
I’ve read Will Grayson but was kinda disapointed by it. Hope you enjoy all of your books this week!

Yeah, Nutella was like the one good thing I took away from French in high school 🙂
I don’t really have any expectations for Will Grayson, so hopefully I’m not disappointed.
Your library is AMAZING. Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist & Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares two of my favourite books. Happy reading.
I do love the library system in my city. I’m usually able to get my hands on almost any book I want to read.
I read Dash & Lily;s and it was okay. I still have Etiquette & Espiomage somewhere on my shelf.. Enjoy your reads! 🙂

New Meme for Cover Lovers
I’ve been meaning to read Dash and Lily for such a long time. Hopefully this is the time I actually get to it. And Etiquette & Espionage looks like so much fun!
That festival sounds like so much fun! I want to go 🙂 I want to read Etiquette and Espionage!
Rochester Teen Book Festival is going to be awesome! Something that I love is that seating is reserved for teens. If there are more people than chairs, teens get the chairs. It’s good for teens to feel important like that. Although, I hope I get to sit down 🙂
Ohhh I’m so jealous you got Nameless! It’s one of the books I wanna have to badly!
Happy reading!
Here’s my STS!

I love fairytale retellings, so I’m pretty excited too 🙂
Great haul of books, I’ve got Etiquette & Espionage and Nameless to read soon too! Enjoy your new books and Nutella!
My Haul!
Nutella is the best! 🙂
Hopefully we both like our books.
I think the Nutella and Etiquette & Espionage would go well together:) Nameless looks good too. Enjoy your books & hope you have a better week.
Me, too! But Nutella pretty much goes with any read, right 🙂
You got a lot of great books. I hope you enjoy them :).
Thanks, me too!
Dude, you totally made me hungry for some Nutella LOL. As for the books *ashamed* I have not read a single one of these. I really want to read Will Grayson, Will Grayson (I always seem to stand infront of it in a book store) and Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares – one of my top tbr books. I hope they’re all enjoyable and have a great weekend:-)
LOL. I’ve only read one of these, and just recently. So don’t be ashamed. And go out and get some Nutella. It’s the best 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my STS! Thirteen Reasons Why wasn’t as good as I expected, just okay for me. I do want to read Grave Mercy and Etiquette and Espionage though. Happy reading!
I actually loved Thirteen Reasons Why, but I didn’t really have any expectations.
I’ve had Grave Mercy on my shelf for so long and still didn’t get to it sadly. I can’t wait to see what you think of it Quinn!
I’ve heard so many good things about Etiquette and Espionage, I have to read it soon.
Thanks for stopping by my STS Quinn! (:
I’ve checked out Grave Mercy from the library before, but never read it. I’m a little intimidated by it, but I definitely need to read it
I have a signed copy of Everyday by DL on my desk that I won in a contest a while back. I know I will love it if I could just find the time to read it! Great haul! That author event sounds like so much fun! 🙂
Julie~ My STS
I’ve heard great things about Every Day. I haven’t read that one either.
Dash & Lily is cute. Achingly hipsters at times. I adore the Nick and Norah movie so can’t wait to hear what the book is. Grave Mercy sounds so good, everyone’s raving about it. Can’t wait to get around to it. Enjoy!
I just read Nick & Norah, and now I really want to see the movie. I liked N&N but I wasn’t madly in love.
I loved Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares and need to check out Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. I’ve had Grave Mercy sitting on my bookshelf for about a year now; it’s definitely time for me to get it read! Enjoy all of your books, and thanks for stopping by!
That’s how I feel about Grave Mercy. It’s about time that I read it. I’m a little intimidated by it, but I’m determined that I will maybe read it 🙂
I LOVED Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares. I read it around Christmas time and loved it so much I had it under the tree come Christmas day. Will Grayson, Will Grayson was okay. Just okay, though. I don’t know why… I just didn’t dig it as much as I was hoping I would. I’m reading Etiquette & Espionage right now. It’s pretty interesting so far. I hope you like all your books! (:
So glad to hear you loved Dash and Lily. I’m really excited to read that one 🙂
I’ve been wanting to read Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares. Heard it’s really fun. Will Grayson Will Grayson is supposed to be amazing as well. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!
I hope I like them both.
I love Dash & Lily, it’s really a favorite of mine. Grave Mercy is amazing too. Work can be overwhelming… I’m glad I have the blog and reading as an outlet 🙂 My kids LOVE Nutella, we always have it around.
Thanks for stopping by and happy reading 🙂

I hope you enjoy all of your books!! Etiquette and Espionage looks really fantastic for historical fiction fans, and Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares has been receiving really great reviews! At least the ones I’ve seen recently 🙂
Fantastic haul! OMG I love Nutella too! I refuse to buy it because when I do I always manage to put on five pounds…
Happy reading!
Yeah, I’m definitely going that way in terms of all the Nutella I’ve been eating lately! No willpower with it in the house. All I want is NUTELLA.
Love Nutella! Great book haul, I’ve got Will Grayson, WG and thought Dash and Lily was a fun read. Happy reading 🙂
I’m excited to read Dash and LIly, and Will Grayson. They both sound pretty fun.
I hear you about being too tired to read when you get home from work. I feel that way myself quite often. 🙂
And I picked up Nameless a few weeks ago. It’s a Snow White retelling, but that’s pretty much all I know!
My StS post
Great haul! I keep meaning to pick up Grave Mercy. I’ve heard great things. Happy reading and yay Spring!
Here’s my STS
Hope you like the bag! You got lots of good bags.
Heather ~ My Sunday Post
Wow, you have an amazing haul! Can’t go wrong with a bit of John Green 🙂 I hope you enjoy Grave Mercy as well, the sequel just came out recently!
All the books look awesome! I’ve been meaning to read Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. I loved the movie so much, I need to make time for the book!
Nutella. Such a dangerous thing. I didn’t even like it until I came out to Australia to visit the in-laws. Oh man. I don’t know how I lived without it!
Ahh…Nutella My daughter is obsessed w/it! I purchase mine at a wholesale club and its a huge bottle, I actually have to hide it from her cause she wants to spread that stuff on everything! I still need to read Etiquette, enjoy everything you picked up this week.
Great haul! and I love your vlog. Wish I had the nerve to do one 🙂 Your dog is adorable, by the way! Happy reading and have fun at your conference!

Sounds like you’ve got some great books this week. I really enjoyed Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares, and 13 Reasons. I hope Boy Meets Boy works better for you than it did me. Hope you enjoy all your books.
Nice haul :-). I enjoyed Lily & Dash, really must read more by these authors. And I really approve of the Catch Kids on purchase! Happy reading.
Silly auto correct changed Cath Kidson on me. Shows what poor taste it has!
Woah, I wish we had such great libraries around here! I really want to read the Nick&Norah and Dash&Lily books! I’ve never read anyhting by Levithan ^^”
Spring’s finally made an appearance here as well! For a couple days at least, now it’s rather cold and rainy again…
Enjoy your books and your nutella 😉
