Tags: Fresh Meat, May 2013
This is such a HUGE week for releases…and I completely blew my book budget (probably for the month) but it’s so worth it!!!
I just for back from RT and brought enough books home with me to last for months so I won’t be buying any this week. LOL
I’d have been excited about Sookie, but the more I read the reviews the more upset I’m becoming 🙁 and it’s not the end result that has me down, but the way things went down :(…I don’t know if I should be upset about the spoilers, or relieved that I won’t be totally shock.
I haven’t read any of the Sookie books but the net seems to have exploded with this last one so I understand where you’re coming from.
So many good ones here!! Lots are on my Wishlist. But the one that has me the most stoked is the Alpha & Omega Graphic novel!! Love that series!!!!
