  1. You've had some great books this week. I like the covers on the first three of the Samuri books - silver with a different coloured moon on each. It's a pity they didn't carry on that theme. :)

  3. Congrats on all your followers!

    I've been seeing Pegasus around, I'm excited to see what you think of it. The Samuri books seem interesting too, I don't think I've read anything like that.

  11. Those all look fun! And ones you read, specifically The Clan of the Cave Bear, sounds good. Two friends of mine read that series and LOVED it. I'm still not sure they're my kind of read...

    I am so jealous of Pegasus, you have no idea. I hope you love your new reads!

    BTW--my day is going very well thank you. Glad yours is too :D

    Dystopia and greek mythology sounds awesome! They're like two of my fave subjects. I liked The Goddess Test but I hope the second book will be a little more exciting--maybe some gladiator fights or something lol

  23. Thank you for visiting Starting the Next Chapter. It looks as if you have an amazing haul this week, as well! I'm excited to read the rest of the Iron Fey series, too, but I'm making myself wait on account of all of the library books I have to read. I hope you have a great week. Happy reading!

  31. While listing to you read the synopsis of Pegasus I went to Goodreads and added it to my list! Thanks for sharing. And I totally know what you mean about putting your schoolwork aside. I had to put my blog on hold for about a year while I finished up my education. Good luck at school and happy reading!

  40. Congrats on the followers! And yes I am SO excited for Aimee Carter's book -- it sounds wonderful! A fellow blogger and I hope to host a read-along for The Goddess Test when it comes out.
