I did slightly better this month! Not well, but better. I'm gonna take the win. I'm still reading quite a bit, though, so I'm going to be happy enough with this. What books did I get? I did okay with this, but I always manage to download too many egalleys. Without fail. If I Only Had a Duke by Lenora Bell Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett The Gauntlet by Karuna Riazi Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray (signed and personalized!) Rebels Rising by Shanna Swendson Not the greatest job not buying books, but not terrible either. Hopefully next month will be better. Only thing I didn't buy was Rebel, which I traded for--and about DIED in excitement to get. My collection is perfect. Flora & Ulysses is for my class this summer. And I desperately wanted to go to the launch for Defy the Stars , but timing didn't work out. I did, however, order...
