For review:

I already had a copy of The Springsweet so this copy will be for a contest. Be sure to check out  my giveaway of The Springsweet (U.S. Only).

I was so excited when I got A Breath of Eyre in the mail yesterday from Kensington Books. I love Jane Eyre and the idea of a modern girl winding up in Jane's place really appeals to me.

This sort of reminds me of the Gallagher Girls series which I love. Hopefully A Girl Named Digit will be just as good. I have to admit that I'm not too crazy about the title though the cover is fun.

I saw this in a webinar and thought it looked interesting because it combines dystopian fiction with the whole princess/royalty thing. 

The Boy Recession sounds like it could be hilariously funny. I like the idea of the geeky guy suddenly becoming center of attention because of the lack of competition.

Purchased:

I was reading my library copy of this book and realized that I liked it so much that I wanted to own my own copy. I am supposed to be on a book buying ban but I am not very good at it. 

I have been wanting to read this for awhile now and thanks to Google Play, Amazon had it on sale for $3.99 so I bought it. I have heard that it is excellent, maybe Maggie's best book so far.

This is another book on sale for Kindle and I bought it on a whim. I am not entirely sure I will like it. Though I enjoyed Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty, I haven't tried her contemporary fiction.

I got the newest book from the library so I thought I'd pick this up too since it was on sale. It isn't a direct series. The books just all have something to do with Jane Austen.

From the library:

I tend to enjoy contemporary books related to Jane Austen more than historical spin-offs and this was my WoW pick a few months ago. 

As a huge fan of Downton Abbey, I have been wanting to read this book about Lady Almina, Countess Carnarvon and Highclere Castle where Downton Abbey is filmed.
