Well, I've returned from my brief blog vacation, and I caught up on a bunch of reading. It actually extended a bit longer then I had planned, so there were a few days of blog silence on my end. I'm hoping to catch up with comments and posting this weekend. Here's a list of all of the books I finished during the past two weeks, all of the links go to Goodreads.
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
Hourglass by Myra McEntire
Hate List by Jennifer Brown
Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters by Natalie Standiford
Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life by Bryan Lee O'Malley
Abandon by Meg Cabot
Reread - The BFG/The Witches by Roald Dahl
Started: Chime by Franny Billingsley, & Witch & Wizard by James Patterson
DNF: Dust City by Robert Paul Weston
My 2 year blogoversary (blogiversary? :) I wish there was some universally accepted spelling of this word) came and went rather quietly. Since I'm lacking funds, I won't be doing a celebration giveaway right now. I'm hoping to do something at the end of the summer which will have my favorite new/summer reads as prizes.
I'm also participating in the 2011 YA Best Overlooked Book Battle! I'm really excited to be a round two judge, so as I get my judging assignment/judging partner, I'll be updating about the process (with no spoilers about the winner). For those that don't know, this contest is once again being hosted by Alyssa at The Shady Glade, and as a round two judge I'll be asked to read two books from the shortlist, confer with another judge, and decide which book is the winner of our bracket. Here's the shortlist:
Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund
Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy by L.A. Meyer

Welcome back!
Happy anniversary!
*hugs*
You go you reading machine!
I read A Discovery of Witches and loved it!!! Are you going to write a review on it, I'll be interested to see what you thought.
Good to see you back! It looks like you've done lots of reading too.
Yay, happy anniversary! (I would just call it that if I were you) Haha!
Actually, when my blog turned 1, I was also trying to figure out how to spell blogoversay/blogiversary/blogaversary.
Congrats on your 2 year blogiversary! Awesomeness. Looking forward to more reviews!
Did you know, a piece of mangosteen cost $11 in some countries? That is very expensive, right? We are lucky that this fruit is native in our country.
