It's Monday What Are You Reading? #5
So this week has been so busy! ACT was Saturday, Valentines is tomorrow, and my Anniversary is this Saturday, so I've been scrambling the last few days to get everyone's gifts together and ready to go!
But what that means, is I'm behind on my To Be Read for this month! Which only leaves room for improvement! I plan on finishing and reviewing by Wednesday...
Goddess Test, by Aimee Carter.
"It's always been just Kate and her mom—and her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall.
Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld—and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.
Kate is sure he's crazy—until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess."

Valentine Ideas 4 Bookworms!
Valentines day is tomorrow, and I can't wait! I love getting everyone (including my parents, brother, and significant other) a gift! Gifts don't have to be expensive, ones that are homemade, and creative are more meaningful!
Have a few of your own bookworms you still need to make or find gifts for? Well, here I have some awesome ideas(:
1. Make a cute paperclip, that could be used for anything, including a bookmark!
2. Make them a different type of bookmark, that actually goes on the bottom (or top) edge of the page! It's a cute, and inexpensive gift, that will always reminder them of you!
3. Or stick to the classic bookmark, one with a cute design, and a pretty ribbon! A reading addict can never have enough place holders, for their favorite books!
4. And lastly, take a few of your valentine's favorite books (or, if you want, buy them some new ones, they've been dying for, and can't wait to read), and wrap them in these cute homemade covers, and decorate the sides! You could right Love, or even their name!
I hope this post, helped you last minute Valentine shoppers out! Thanks for stopping by!(:

In My Mailbox #42
I haven't made an In My Mailbox, in a VERY long time! Yes, that's very true!
I'm actually trying to catch up with all the books I have in my shelf, that I haven't read yet! Once I'm pretty much done, that's when I'll go back to buying more books! I just feel bad, for books that have been sitting on my shelf for months, that I still haven't read them.
But this week I did receive one book...
The Peculiars, byMaureen Doyle McQuerry.
"This dark and thrilling adventure, with an unforgettable heroine, will captivate fans of steampunk, fantasy, and romance.
On her 18th birthday, Lena Mattacascar decides to search for her father, who disappeared into the northern wilderness of Scree when Lena was young. Scree is inhabited by Peculiars, people whose unusual characteristics make them unacceptable to modern society. Lena wonders if her father is the source of her own extraordinary characteristics and if she, too, is Peculiar. On the train she meets a young librarian, Jimson Quiggley, who is traveling to a town on the edge of Scree to work in the home and library of the inventor Mr. Beasley. The train is stopped by men being chased by the handsome young marshal Thomas Saltre. When Saltre learns who Lena’s father is, he convinces her to spy on Mr. Beasley and the strange folk who disappear into his home, Zephyr House. A daring escape in an aerocopter leads Lena into the wilds of Scree to confront her deepest fears."
