First of all: Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday, and even though I am not a small child, I still get a little thrill every year it rolls around. Tonight I am going to dinner with my dad and stepmom, and I received a really awesome storage cart from them that I will be using in my classroom next year. You know you’re a teacher when you request things like that for your birthday, right?
Thursday I went to a class to learn the Daily 5/Cafe strategies to use next year in my classroom, and I am completely overwhelmed. It’s just a LOT to take in, a lot to get ready, and it’s a good thing we don’t go back until August 1st. I have plenty to do over the summer! But I think it will be useful and also very beneficial to my students, so I’m hoping that once I get into the whole thing it won’t be as hard as I’m making it out to be in my head. Here’s hoping, at least!
This week was a small haul for me. I picked up some e-books that were on sale, as well as a sequel I’m looking forward to reading, and only requested one e-galley. Baby steps! So, here’s my haul!
Purchased:
- Dance of the Red Death (Masque of the Red Death #2) by Bethany Griffin
E-books/E-Galleys:
- Also Known As by Robin Benway (on sale on Amazon)
- Hereafter (Shadowlands #2) by Kate Brian (NetGalley)
- Darker Still by Leanna Renee Hieber (on sale on Amazon)
- False Memory by Dan Krokos (on sale on Amazon)
Thanks to Disney Book Group for the e-galley! All of the others are still on sale on Amazon at last check – I didn’t spend over $2.99 for any of them – if you’re interested.

I really liked False Memory, I hope it’s the same for you :)
Oh, your blog is SO darn cute!!! I love the coloring:) I basically want to read all of the books you got this week. Too bad half of them are sequels since I’ve yet to read the first one lol. I love the cover for B. Griffin’s book:) I can’t wait to see what you think of all of these pretties:) Happy reading and have a great weekend!
Happy Birthday. I love when you can get books for 2.99 that’s a great deal. I like the wall paper.
Sadly, I did not like Dance of the Red Death. It let me down hugely. I hope you have better luck though. Enjoy the new reads!

Ack, that’s sad! Masque was SO good that I am hoping I’ll like the sequel just as much. Fingers crossed!
Dance of the Red Death is one I def. need to buy. Loved book 1. I am so excited to start reading Here After. Shadowland blew my mind! Enjoy all that you got! Thanks for sharing and happy reading.

Ohh! Also Known As! I saw that on the sale this week, but I haven’t gotten around to buying it yet! Also – your blog is really cute. I’m probably going to stalk it right now, so please don’t be crept out by my commenting.
And happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Merin! I DNFed Darker Still but maybe you will like it! Also Known As was cute if a little far-fetched.
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a spectacular day! I love the covers of that Kate Brian series, but still need to read the first book. Great haul! Happy reading!
