Until she gets a terrifying note that warns: “Don’t say no, Lindy. Keep going out with me. I’ll mess you up if you ever say no.”

I went a little crazy this week with borrowing at the library. This week i have to books that are re-reads; The Face by R.L. Stine, I read this one a few years ago and haven't been able to get it off my mind. Let's hope that it's just as good as I remember it being *crosses fingers*. My other re-read is Armageddon Summer by Jane Yolen with Bruce Coville, I was very intrigued by the story the last time I read it and can't wait to see if I still like it.

Charmed Life, Eye Candy, and The Society of S are all first time sreads and I'm very excited to read and review them.

Well that's all for me this week in books. Cannot wait to see what everyone else got in their IMM.
