Have you read any of these? If so, tell me what you think! What should I bump up on the TBR?
We just ordered a colleague a Star Trek commander baby-gro (for his newborn not him). They are so cute! I love your iPad cover too.
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE. I approve.
DeleteI've been wanting to read Skinny because I've heard such great things about it! I hope you enjoy everything you got this week :)
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
My friend and daughter both read it and LOVED IT.
DeleteI'm loving your haul this week. the GAme of Thrones graphic novel looks great and I hope you love The Scorpio Races.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

Can't wait to hear what you think of Rebel Heart!
ReplyDeleteLove the onesie!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh! The little Zelda onesie might be the cutest thing I've seen in my life!
ReplyDeleteThat Zelda onesie is EPIC!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the Scorpio Races! Rebel Heart on the other hand was a little disappointing compared to Blood Red Road but still a good read! I haven't read the others so I will wait to hear what you think of them!
ReplyDeleteBummed to hear you didn't love Rebel Heart. I think I'm reading it next so I'll be curious to see how I like it! :)
DeleteOh, you got some amazing books! I really want to read the Percy Jackson series, as well as something by Tamora Pierce! She seems to be the go-to person for strong heroines in fantasy. I guess I would have read her if I'd grown up with books written in English...
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was a Game of Thrones graphic novel o.O
I hope you enjoy all that you got! Thanks for stopping by my post earlier :) (Love your blog name, by the way)
Percy Jackson FOREVER. Honestly It's the best.
DeleteThat would be an understatement to the gloriousness that is Percy Jackson. I try so hard to get people invested in this series, but when I tell them it's mg fiction they lose interest, which is really sad because this series is phenomenal.

DeleteAw, the Zelda onesie is too cute! And I've never read the Percy books but I have always wanted to at least try the first one :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard amazing things about The Scorpio Races! The iPad cover is so pretty too! Lovely haul this week, happy reading!

I really liked TSR!
DeleteOh, I really liked Skinny!
ReplyDeleteALSO OMG THAT ONESIE. WINNING.
Percy Jackson foreva.
AND!
The Scorpio Races was my last book of 2012, I loved it something fierce.
I loved Scorpio too! It was the last book I started in 2012...does that count? :P
DeleteTAMORA PIERCE. Oh man. Tamora Pierce. I love her. I love Alanna and Daine and Kel. I love Tortall. And I love Percy Jackson. And baby clothing. Ugh your haul is amazing. ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteI've fallen head over for Tamora as well!
DeleteHehe Zelda Onesie :P The Scorpio Races is SUCH a good book. It's just *sigh* fantastic. Read it soon! Hopefully you like it. Also, the Song of the Lioess series is something I've reread multiple times. I cannot express how much I love that series.
ReplyDeleteMy STS
I loved Rebel Heart. But then again, that's one of my favorite series. The Zelda onesie is to die for. Great haul!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my haul.
I'm going to start Rebel Heart tonight! WEE!
DeleteI love the Link onesie! It really makes me want a baby.
ReplyDeleteAs for the books I read Tamora Pierce's Alanna books over and over in middle school. It's been a while since I've read them, but would love to go back and reread them.
Yay to Percy Jackson! I also love the iPad cover that you got! So cute! Happy reading! :)

Just so you know, your new child is going to be the flyest Ganondorf-slayer to ever walk into the realm of reality. He/she will be walking around with Triforces on his/her toes for crying out loud. I LOVE THE ONESIE. Is there a larger size, do you think?
ReplyDeleteAs I continue onto this mailbox, however, I realize how much of a FAILURE AT LIFE I am. I own PJ 1-5 and it remains unread. I have yet to read anything by Tamora Pierce when at least two of her books have been haunting my Amazon cart. And Game of Thrones... don't even get me started *sigh*
And that iPad cover is PERFECTION.
looks like you have some important fantasy reading to do, my friend!
DeleteAww, Link onesie! That is so cute it almost makes me wish it was me-sized! Love the iPad cover too! Great haul, enjoy :)

OMG -- the Zelda onesie! My hubby's jaw hit the floor when he saw that one. Where did you find it???
ReplyDeleteI found it on Etsy :-)
DeleteOoooh... thanks! I'm heading over to check this out now -- so freakin' adorable!
DeleteOMG OMG! *nerd explosion* I love that Link outfit!! Also, excellent books and I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for stopping by mine!
ReplyDeleteI had NO idea Tamora Pierce had more books out already!!! I need to check them out!!!! And I love those booties!!! Think they could fit me? lol
ReplyDeleteMy Stacking the Shelves
PERCY. He is the best there ever was. Also, all of those Tamora books are ones I still need to read. I'm on it. I'm so glad you loved your gifts!! And I can't wait to see pictures of the bebe in that onesie!! <3
ReplyDeleteThe Zelda onesie is adorable. A page from work dressed as Link from Zelda for Halloween. She looked just like him!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
I am DYING over that Zelda onesie!!!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both!
DeleteCan't wait to read Rebel Heart, I've had Scorpio Races for a while and I still haven't read it (I hope to rectify that soon!) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
That onesie is the cutest thing EVER!!
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson. I can't even. You just have to trust that my words would be epic if I could utter them. So happy that you got those books. *wipes tear*
ReplyDeleteALSO, despite the fact that the first Percy Jackson movie was a bigger monstrosity than M. Night's Airbender (wasn't), I am still going to see the next one because my favorite browncoat is playing Hermes. Sorry. I digress.
DeleteOH MY LORD YOU HAVE THE BEGINNING OF THE IMMORTALS SERIES. *starts jumping up and down* I LOVE that series from Tamora Pierce. Like, love, love, love it. I can't wait till you get around to reading it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute onesie! Is it creepy that I kind of want an adult sized version? I liked Skinny and loved Scorpio Races, but Tamora Pierce always goes to the top of any pile of books! :-)
ReplyDeleteTHE SCORPIO RACES <3
ReplyDeleteSo glad you read it!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's not even talk about how behind in my reader I am.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously. That onesie? There are basically no words for that one.
And I think you should give me the PJ box set out of the goodness of your heart ;]
