Is it just me or was this past week like the week that would not end? I swear, I thought Friday would *never* get here. 

Monday was the annual meeting of our homeowner's association. Oh joy. I would love to skip it but my husband is the president of the HOA Board so yeah... I feel obligated to show. Entirely too much adulting going on this week.

But on the fun side, the Addicted Series Readalong #AtCSReadalong is still going strong and I'm loving it. As I predicted, I have fallen behind (me + full-time job + two books a week = not bloody likely). So yeah, I'm behind but whatevs. And (Sarah don't read this part) I'm actually taking a little break to read a YA that I received from the author for review and I felt bad about making her wait. Hopefully it will be a quick read and I can jump right back into the Addicted world.

Oh! And bonus... my husband is reading the Addicted series with me. :) He actually read Addicted To You and Ricochet at my urging about a year ago. But when I started the readalong I gave him the puppy dog eyes to read with me so he just finished Addicted For Now and started Kiss the Sky. I love it! It is beyond awesome to be able to talk about the books with him. It's also really interesting to get his take on the characters and certain events in the books. Thanks for being such a trooper, Robert!♥

It was a fairly quiet week at Girl Plus Books. Between work and trying  to read, read, read I didn't take a lot of time for blogging (but I did quite a bit of visiting and commenting!). So here's what happened last week:

Tuesday, April : Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Bookish People You Should Be Following - Where I shared some love and talked about some of my favorite bloggers, vloggers, and a few others. Loved all the discussion it generated and I had a great time visiting everyone else's TTT posts and checking out the bloggers, bookstagrammers, etc that you follow.

Tuesday, April 5: Books 'n Bloggers Swap: I'm so glad I was able to sign up for this one just before the cut-off date. I've been emailing with my partner Penni and getting some goodies ready to mail out on Saturday. Putting together fun book mail is just as awesome as receiving it!

This past week has been fun since I've been taking part in a (re-read) readalong of the Addicted series by Krista and Becca Ritchie. It's my favorite contemporary series ever and I'm loving going back to the beginning and reliving it all over again. As someone who *never* re-reads, this was quite a commitment for me. I feel like I deserve an extra gold star or something. :) The readalong is being hosted by my wonderful friend Sarah at Words With Sarah and Gen at Latte Night Reviews. The readalong runs through April 22 and leads up to the release of Some Kind of Perfect, the final book in the series (*sob!*). I'm not ready for it to be over! But in the meantime I'm revisiting old friends and loving every minute of it - while continuing to be in shock that I'm managing to keep up with the reading schedule. LOL

New commenting system

Since switching over my comment system a week ago I have to say I'm loving it! No more emails from Google+ with a snippet of a new comment only to go to the blog and find that it's missing, hidden or deleted. Good riddance Google! *sings "na na na na, hey, hey, goodbye" loudly*

Tuesday, March 22: Top Ten Tuesday: Can You Feel the Love - Where I talked about the books that I adore but for some reason I rarely mention them. Love all the discussion this generated in the comments about the hidden gems we love!

Thursday, March 24: Throwback Thursday Review: Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout - Seems like a lot of people forgot about this one! All I can say is: pick it up, you won't be sorry. Tink totally steals the show. And it's JLA. What more do you need?

Saturday, March 26: Blog Tour + Review: Walk the Edge by Katie McGarry - 1. I adore Katie McGarry. 2. This series is fabulous. 3. I want more.

PHYSICAL COPIES:

     

Based on everything I've been seeing about this one I knew I had to have it. I'm a sucker for any story that's going to batter and bruise my fragile little heart. Bring on the tears...

KINDLE:

  

The Air He Breathes - Brittainy Cherry: Even though I own a physical copy, I couldn't pass it up when it went on salt for 99 cents.

Eversea and Forever, Jack - Natasha Boyd: I keep seeing this around so I finally bought them.

Bound By Honor - Cora Reilly: My friend Kei at The Lovely Pages gave this one a glowing review so I nabbed it immediately.

Neverland - Shari Arnold: A friend of mine passed my name on to the author who in turn sent me her book for review. My friend positively raved about this retelling so I'm excited for it.
