Happy Sunday! I hope you've all had a great week. I for one am glad this week is behind me, as the horrid flu bug has finally left my house *does the happy dance*. Yesterday I was able to attend Teen Book Con in Houston, which was AWESOME! There were so many fabulous authors there. I'll post more about that this week. Here's some bookish events I'll be attending this week! If you're in the Austin area I hope to see you there!
Here are the books that I received/purchased this week.
For Review:
- Black Dawn (Morganville Vampires #12) by Rachel Caine, published by DAW/Penguin, to be released on 5/1/12
- Silence (The Queen of the Dead #1) by Michelle Sagara, published by DAW/Penguin, to be released on 5/1/12

Purchased: I purchased a few books from the Teen Book Con in Houston yesterday and two MG books from the Scholastic book fair I co-chaired this past week. I've already read and reviewed all the YA titles, but I didn't have them in published book form, so I had to pick them up. ;)

DeleteI bought the audio version of Black Heart with my Audible credit. I've been saving it for this very reason. I think Jesse Eisenberg does a fantastic job narrating the part of Cassel.
