END OF 2013 REWIND | mini-reviews of my November & December books!

So I've been dreadfully behind at life, but I'm trying to catch up! And I'm going to kick off the catch-up with Rewinds for my November AND December reading!
This is a long one, so I split it into 2 parts, and I time-stamped each book below, so you can skip around to the ones you want to see. =)

And now onto part 2! So... my camera decided to be creepy and weird in this video. Sorry for the extreme close-ups in the last 1/2... =/  Anyway, in this one, we wrap up November and get into the damn good books I read in December. =D



And if YOU'VE read Elizabeth C. Bunce's Thief Errant series (StarCrossed and Liar's Moon) and want the publisher's to publish the 3rd book (or you want to take pity on me, because I /need/ the 3rd book), LET THEM KNOW!

  1. You read some great books. When will fairy tale fortnight be back? I'm going to be doing a month of Rapunzel in March I hope. I was wondering if you would like to do a guest post. Either a review or really anything about Rapunzel. email me at rachaelc1020@gmailDOTcom if you are interested. I'm slowly stockpiling up reviews for fairy tale fortnight.

    1. FTF will be back at the end of April, Bonnie and I just set the dates a couple of days ago, actually! We'll be announcing more about it soon.
      As for Rapunzel, hmm... Let me think it over and see if there's anything I want to talk about, and I'll definitely let you know. =)
