  2. Looks like a great month and the LA Times Festival looks like it was profitable for you! Looking at your post reminds me I should make an effort to chase down the Marie Lu books because I have seen other book bloggers very positive about them.

    1. Hi, Kathryn! I would definitely recommend the Legend Trilogy! Loved it! I saw that Marie Lu was going to be at the LA Festival on Sunday, but I could only go on Saturday. I was kinda bummed about that. I would have loved to hear her speak and maybe get a book signed.

    1. Hi, Sophia Rose! Yes, I enjoyed going to the Festival. There were a couple of panels I wanted to go to, but I was too late getting tickets. They were sold out. But I still had fun and I got some great books. I found a signed copy of Seeker, which I previously had in e-copy from NetGalley. Two books I bought are from local authors that are new to me. I hope their stories are good! :)

    1. Hi, Brandie! Sorry to say, I didn't like 'All the Rage' that much. I liked 'The Truth About Alice' much better. Have you read that?

    1. Hi, Kelli! Yes! I just want to watch them all until the end, but my daughter is watching with me now and I have to wait for her. Still, we seem to catch at least an episode a night. :)

    1. Hi, Missie! Oh, that would be awesome! I saw that CBS bought the story, is that what they are planning to do with it? A series, not a movie? Either way, it would be good!
