   CRYING. TEARS. BAHAHAHAHA.

   Yeah, now that I think about it, I really should have included a letter or something to explain lmfao but I DUNNO. I’M GLAD I COULD FREAK YOU OUT A LITTLE. Because now you know how it feels like when I got random things from TBD without a name. MYSTERY. FWEEEEEE. The wrapping was also partly to protect the books in my dad’s suitcase lol. But also I just like wrapping things. So. Pffffffft I have signed books coming out of my ears lololololol laughing forever. But yes. My bffs. I’m cool like that. *cough*

   Hope you like them too! I hope the feels work on you =/ and that you can ignore the Twilight parallel bahaha. But we shall see!

   Another person with the HP box set. GAH. You’re all so evil. I will buy the box set I want this year probably. But I’ll make it like my graduation gift to myself. And yeah. I dunno. The keep on display vs read thing will be an issue. I don’t think I could get rid of my old copies though because they’re first editions and stuffffff. So yeah. Decisions decisions.

   Second Star’s cover is so pretty *_* I really hope it’s good. I will keep an eye out for reviews on that one, but I know Wendy just gave it three stars, so I dunno.

     Once I’d actually OPENED the box, I was able to go OH THAT IS HER LAST NAME, but before that it was just like “who the fuck is Austin?” So yeah. And, of course, I’d TOTALLY forgotten that you’d said they’d been shipped. You are basically a genius at wrapping. Nothing I wrap ever looks that nice.

     *is nervous*

     Cave to the pressure of pretty box sets, Debbyyyyy. They want you to love them. My parents have the old set from when they were first coming out. My set is a bunch of random editions, but I am still fond of them.

     Dang it, Wendy. Oh well. Three stars is still positive.

       The box set I want is this one. I saw it in London and asdjfkl; want so bad. I cannot. ;___; every time I see someone get a second set of Harry Potter books now I’m like, “SEE? SEE? THAT’S PERFECTLY OKAY!” *cough*

         Hahaha, I know, I saw you post a link on Twitter once. Stalking cred: 5 points. But, yes, totally normal. There’s nothing to see here.

   Yay for cat traps. We have a giant empty box that we leave in the living room for the cats. It always provides lots of amusement.

   I am super excited about Second Star. I’m a sucker for all things Peter Pan.

   I feel like everyone on Twitter has suddenly been raving about the A.C Gaughen series, so I’ll definitely be purchasing them soon.

   The new HP set is so glorious. I had to buy them, and I decided to keep my hardcover set as well beuse I’m sentimental and I stood in line until midnight for some of them and just couldn’t bear to part with them.

   Your camera and I still aren’t friends. It keeps adjusting. Maybe you shouldn’t move so much.

   Sidenote: How have you already reviewed 23 books this year? It’s only the 18th! I’m impressed.

   I didn’t notice it at first but I was actually clenching my teeth when you showed Lady Thief. I want it. Badly.

   Ooh, Second Star! I didn’t even know about it a week ago but then Meg got it and now you. I’m curious about that one, so you know what to do.

   Ugh, book club, aka the reason you still haven’t met Kiaran. It can join your camera in the “we are not friends” club.

   Hahaha, Lux. I haven’t read it but it will be fun to see what you think. Who knows, it can always turn out to be a Mara Dyer case for you.

   First of all, I love your cat! He is absolutely, freaking adorable and I want to cuddle him.

   Now that that’s out of my system.. Great book haul! I think, with the Harry Potter set, you should definitely display that one and keep the old ones for reading. The new set is too pretty to open and read!

   I seriously have to read Obsidian and Onyx.. My friend bought me the eBook of Obsidian, but I haven’t had time for it yet.. Sad panda :\

   Twisted and Second Star sound really awesome, too! Happy reading!

   I haven’t read anything by Matthew Quick either but The Good Luck of Right Now intrigues me. Will wait and see what you think.
   Dude, The Enchanted was … eh. I rounded up, gave it 2.5 in all actuality but only because of the writing. It was a strange one. Freaking hell I want Hollow City so bad. Look forward to hearing you hopefully loved it.
   I need that Harry Potter gift set, so freaking gorgeous. I hadn’t heard of Twisted by LHA before but doesn’t sound too bad. I’ve only read Speak of hers and that clearly needs correcting.

   I didn’t get to watch your video because I’m at my grandparents’ house and on my phone but I’m reading Wintergirls right now and it’s my first Laurie Halse Anderson book. From all the raving reviews from her newest book I figured I should start somewhere lol. The second Miss Peregrine book looks so creepy even though I still need to read the first book. I hope you enjoy all of your new reads! <33

   The enchanted sounds very different. Very interested to see what you think of Second star I love the creepy cover from Hollow city - happy reading! LADY THIEF. I might have squealed a little. I neeheed it. I look forward to the review Monday! So jealous of your HP set. I’m still trying to justify to buy it for myself, since I already own two sets, haha.

   I’m fairly certain I’m the only person giving Second Star a solid side-eye. I mean, yeah, it’s a Peter Pan retelling, but love triangle? Blech. Granted, it’s with Hook, so that’s a pretty interesting twist, but I don’t know. Wendy gave it three stars, so I don’t think I’ll get to it. Three stars is good, but not good enough for me to need to read that one. One Man Guy sounds really good, though.

   I also take it I should read Scarlet, huh? I know Ellis loves that one. And Gillian. And, like, everyone we know.

   ALSO, SPLIT SECOND. YOUR THOUGHTS. GIVE ME THEM.

    Still so tickled you liked LADY THIEF.

    *flails* HOLLOW CITY!!!

    Can’t wait to see how the horsey book is (as I shall now call it). It has such a pretty cover.
