Weekly Wrap-Up and Book Haul

Hey guys I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!  You may have noticed some changes to the blog recently.  Well, I did shift some things around, and tighten up the whole appearance of the place.  It was starting to get a little out of hand on the sides, and I wanted to clean up a bit.  I like this new double column look- it turned out much better than I thought!  The other thing changing slightly is how certain posts appear, like my reviews.  Really, the format hasn't changed- all the same information will be there in the same order, just with the picture in a different location.  I was looking at some of my older review posts and admiring how they looked.  So I ended up combining the old look with the new one.  These are the only changes I really plan to make, but I hope you enjoy them.

Finished this Week
This was an amazing week for me!  I got bit by the reading bug, I think, because you would have been hard pressed to find me not reading.  I finished Dead Man's Drive, Cress, and Shadow and Bone (a book I wasn't even planning to pick up!).  I also finished the eighth volume of Noragami, which was really good.  

Currently Reading
Right now I'm about a quarter through The Golden Braid, but it's been a quick read so far and I think I may even finish it today.  When I finish that I'll be picking up Soundless.

Haul
For Review:
From author Paul Cude I received the three books in his series Bentwhistle the Dragon
I plan to get to the first one this month, and if I have the time, hopefully the second as well.  I'm excited to give them a try.

I Bought:
I actually bought this one signed from Barnes and Noble.  If you don't know who Kid President, let me recommend going to Youtube and finding out.  He'll bring a smile to your face because he is awesome.  And if he ever ran for president, he would have my vote, because his policies include "Treat everyone like today is their birthday".  Such a delightful kid.
Those are the only comics/graphic novels I picked up this week.  I'm excited to get to all of them.  I plan to read Stray Stories near the end of the month, but Pandora Hearts will probably be much sooner.  I won't get to Teen Titans until I go back to school, though, because I left volume one back there.
I actually already owned this book, but the ebook is on sale until the end of the year and I couldn't stop my greedy little fingers.
I plan to get to these two at some point this month.  Soundless will be my next read for sure, and after that it'll probably be Snow Like Ashes, even though it wasn't originally on this month's TBR.
