I had a great week this week! I got two books which I'm super excited for. In addition I'm actually drowning in a sea of homework and project blogging hasn't been a strong suit this month. Hopefully next month, March will be a bang! I'm have a new meme called, What's In My Playlist. And I'm doing great on my reading pile!

 

The Haul:

 

 

Enders by Lissa Price
