I got this necklace for a buck at Ebay. Pretty cute and I couldn't help it, so inexpensive!
I won Asleep and Eternal over at Reading in Color. Thanks again!!!

Asleep by Wendy Raven McNair
The fantasy novel, ASLEEP, is an African American superhero teen love story set in modern day Atlanta that's filled with humor, romance, mystery, and suspense.

Adisa Summers doesn't know her boyfriend, Micah Alexander, can fly. Micah's odd emotionless behavior, rigid posture, and vacant eyes are a mystery sending mixed messages to Adisa. When a flash of lightning sends a tree crashing down on her, Adisa is shocked to see Micah actually flying to her rescue! Micah finally begins to open up to Adisa about his secret life as a superbeing but now Adisa is faced with another shocking revelation.

Eternal by Cynthia Leitich Smith
With diabolical wit, the author of TANATALIZE revisits a deliciously dark world where vampires vie with angels — and girls just want to have fangs.

At last, Miranda is the life of the party: all she had to do was die. Elevated and adopted by none other than the reigning King of the Mantle of Dracul, Miranda goes from high-school theater wannabe to glamorous royal fiend overnight. Meanwhile, her reckless and adoring guardian angel, Zachary, demoted to human guise as the princess’s personal assistant, has his work cut out for him trying to save his girl’s soul and plan the Master’s fast-approaching Death Day gala. In alternating points of view, Miranda and Zachary navigate a cut-throat eternal aristocracy as they play out a dangerous and darkly hilarious love story for the ages.

I didn't love Tantalize when I read it ages ago (can't even remember it really), but I got so curious about the sequel and I did hear/read it was better than Tantalize. I sure hope so! I liked the characters but the story was lame in the first one. I sure do hope I love Eternal.

I got these adorable shoes on Ebay for less than $9 bucks! I love them!!! They have a cute bow on the front and are so comfy on my 7.5 sized huge feet hehe :)
I won this SIGNED Hate List book over at Flip the Page Book Reviews. Thanks again! And thank you Jennifer Brown :D She signed "For Lisette, may your love list always be long and full" Aww :) I already read the book and loved it but bc I didn't have my own copy how am I gonna re-read it?! So yeah hehehe

Hate List by Jennifer Brown

Five months ago, Valerie Leftman's boyfriend, Nick, opened fire on their school cafeteria. Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create. A list of people and things she and Nick hated. The list he used to pick his targets.

Now, after a summer of seclusion, Val is forced to confront her guilt as she returns to school to complete her senior year. Haunted by the memory of the boyfriend she still loves and navigating rocky relationships with her family, former friends and the girl whose life she saved, Val must come to grips with the tragedy that took place and her role in it, in order to make amends and move on with her life.

This week I:

• Watched The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. It was awesome but not as awesome as I hoped. I expected so much more for the sequel to my favorite movie ever! Anyway there's gonna be THIRD MOVIE! I'll write a review as soon as I have time. Again work and school grr
  
• Went crazy over the teaser trailer released of Kick-Ass the Aaron Johnson/superhero movie I've been waiting for months now for that! Can't wait for the movie. I wrote down the release date but it's too far away....
  
• Watched New York, I Love You. Ethan Hawke, Hayden Christiansen, Orlando Bloom, Anton Yelchin I loved you all in it! That movie is from the same producers as Paris, Je T'aime and creating in similar style with different directors creating their own awesomeness. I did not love New York, I Love You as much as Paris, Je T'aime. :( It was still pretty neat. I recommend it but maybe not worth the ticket so wait until you can rent it. BTW Radiohead's No Surprises came out in the movie!! Isn't it a coinkidink that I posted that song this week?! hehe Man I love them ;)
  
• Went so see Regina Spektor in concert!!! Pics and such will be coming up as soon as I can! Most likely this week. She is sooo awesome and man live she's even awesomer and so hilarious! She did an encore of like 4 songs! It was great especially since she sang my favorite song "Us." It totally sucked that they didn't let me bring in my Canon Rebel XTI because it was "too big" grr!! I really hate anything Verizon now. It was in a Verizon Theater btw
  
• Gave you my thoughts on Hush, Hush. Finally. hehe
• Gave you the Dandy Books for the week.
