add it to the list [33]

Add it to the List is a variation of In My Mailbox hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Basically, you share your bookish haul for the week.


It finally came! The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. 
Signed of course, like all his preorders. He is such a stud for signing every single preorder. I can't even.


I'm so lucky to have a husband who indulges my owl obsession. Look at that quirky fellow!

Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson
Copy from my local library. YAY libraries! AND YAY for the library challenge. 
I'm reading this one for book club at work! I know, it's an adult book. BUT it's supposed to be like Memento on meth. Count me in.

Robbie Forester and the Outlaws of Sherwood Street by Peter Abrahams
Received unsolicited ARC from Penguin Publishing.
It's a Robin Hood retelling in YA form. YES PLEASE.

Floors by Patrick Carman
Received ARC from April at Good Books and Good Wine. Thanks, April!
Magical Middle Grade mystery set in a hotel. Sounds delightful!

Happy reading, y'all!

    Any time I see TFioS in a post, an angel gets its wings. Or it just makes me really, really happy. And you're reading WG,WG!!! MAN, I love that book!! Oh, also...that is one seriously cute owl. :)

    So I hate to admit that I've never read anything by John Green *ducks head and hides in shame*. Should I start with TFiOS, or some of his earlier stuff? Also, Floors sounds fun, and I'll always read a Robin Hood retelling! Can't wait to see what you think about them!

      I haven't read TFIOS yet, so I'm not sure if it's a good place to start or not. They are equally funny and poignant and lovely, in my opinion!

    So jealous that you got your copy of TFIOS! Mine was supposed to come yesterday and didn't. :/ However, it gave me a chance to read Katherines, which was the only John Green book I hadn't read!

    Enjoy all of your books!!

    Also? Robin Hood? YES PLEASE FOREVER AND EVER AMEN.

    The Fault In Our Stars?! I'm the only one not having that one. I'm not familiar with the other books but I guess I'll see them soon since they're ARCs. Happy reading(:

    I liked Before I Go to Sleep. It was really different, but in a good way. I'm on a waiting list for TFiOS but looking forward to reading it. Thanks for stopping by my IMM. :D

    I hadn't heard of the Robin Hood-like book! That one sounds eeeenteresting. I didn't know you were into owls, either! So cute. I need to tweet you what I sent @SmashAttackReads then. So now I will think of BOTH of you every time I see an owl-y type of anything. =)

    Wait, Memento the movie??? One of my alltime favorites. You need to let me know about this because:

    1) I love adult if it isn't TOO boring.
    2) I love Memento because I love Christopher Nolan, Guy Pearce, and Carrie-Ann Moss.

    I NEED TO KNOW. So share the deets as soon as you find out. I trust your judgment.
