This will be a rather long post, so, you dear reader, better sit down if you weren't already sitting...in which case I'd have to ask you why you're not sitting down if you're looking through blogs...unless you're on a mobile...
Okay, I'll stop blabbering...
Anyway, this week was an amazing week if I do say so myself. My cousins and I went for sushi on Thursday and then we went to BMV right after! BMV Books is awesome because it sells used books for really low prices (about 1-9 Canadian dollar range for paperbacks and fairly old hardcovers). I got two books for around nine bucks and my cousin bought me a third one for six. Also, my sister came home with a Scholastic order form for books about a week ago. I felt nostalgic and flipped through the order form remembering all the books I got for such cheap prices when I was in elementary school. AND THEN, I saw the Percy Jackson and the Olympians full series box set and it was only for ten bucks! (Yes, I'm still a kid inside. I LOVE that series). Now, to buy the rest of Rick Riordan's series...
So yeah, I'm really happy right now! I haven't bought a book for a while because money's tight and I'm dead broke. But I did not eat/buy lunch for this week to save money. Now it is money well spent. Didn't visit the library this week, but I'm planning to go soon to pick up Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick and Ready Player One by Ernie Cline!
And oh, since I already have the first two books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, I was thinking of giving them away~ If anything I might give the second book away, only, since I might want to keep the first one. Well, whatever, stay tuned for that! Free stuff is always awesome.
OH AND TO MY FELLOW CANADIANS~
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
So here's the wonderfulicious books for this week! :D

BOUGHT
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong
Percy Jack & The Olympians Boxed Set by Rick Riordan
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong
Percy Jack & The Olympians Boxed Set by Rick Riordan
And, OH MY GOLLY GOSH, you don't know how excited I am to finally have The Summoning! Okay, so I'm excited a lot, but this is different because Kelley is a famous Canadian YA author and I've never read anything from her! Now I can! YEH-YAH. And those are used books, baby. USED. They're in perfect condition - except for maybe The Summoning because it has a little crumpled corner, but other than that, they're perfect! I'm so incredibly giddy right now, like seriously. I can hardly contain myself form jumping up and down. I am sitting still right now because I am typing and I've jumped in excitement already.
However, that's not all! There's way more! It's been a crazy busy week but I signed up for Netgalley and started requesting like crazy to read books. So far I've only been declined once and that was by Lerner Publishing Group, but I can understand why since I'm such a small-time blogger. BUT, there have been even more approvals! Nineteen to be exact (okay, so four to six of them were auto-approved, but still!). Here's the eBooks I got approved to read and will probably finish and review when I find the time:
