Bought: January 14, 2014
I knew this book was coming out on this date b/c I have been waiting for it's release for almost 3 years now. The morning of it's release date I made sure I was at Walmart to be the first person to buy this book. Of course I was being that I went at 6 o'clock in the morning lol!

The Orphan and The Thief
By: M.L. Legette
Published: January 3, 2014
Bought: January 17, 2014
I stumbled upon this book on DJ's Corner and it's sounded pretty unique and fun. It involves a Toad and an Owl, some magic and a lot of adventure. I needed a happy story after reading some of these dark stories I've been reading lately.
Bellman & Black: A Ghost Story
By: Diane Setterfield
Published : November 5, 2013
Bought: January 17, 2014
I went ahead and purchase this book yesterday because it was on sale for $1.99 for Kindle. I'm a sucker for Kindle books, especially one's that are on my TBR list.
I've heard mixed reviews on this book, more bad than good. I'd thought I'd give it a read. When that will be, I have no idea.
