Oh my goodness, it has been a long, long time since I did an IMM post. Or, well, it feels like that anyway. I don’t buy books all that often but I did purchase a lot of these since, well, it was momentary weakness, okay? :D Anyway, you know the drill. Story Siren.com started the meme and I’m just taking part in it.

So many lovely new books! I still haven’t read Leviathan – I know! I’m so behind on these things. But, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star? Austen & music? That’s one I’m going to have to read.
I knowwww. I don’t know anything about the author but I couldn’t resist the synopsis. Haha.
Also got Anna Dressed in Blood! Happy reading =)
my IMM:

the monstumologist series is KICKASS–read as soon as you can. it has a very, um, classic-al feel to it–so i’m sure you’ll adore it :P heh.
and yay for GWT! that book…WHOAAA. dying for book 4!
I shall hopefully read it soon. :D
I really need to start on Westerfeld’s steampunk series, I’ve heard such good things about it. Anna Dressed In Blood also seems to have a lot going for it… and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rockstar?!?! That sounds amazing! :D
You had an awesome week. Can’t wait to hear about Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rockstar. Enjoy all your new reads.

Here’s my IMM
Goliath looks a lot fatter in real life than on my Kindle. (Obv, but I felt like pointing that out.)
And Cold Fire = Cold Magic book 2? Oooh, I haven’t read the 1st one but I really want to.
Anna Dressed in Blood is good.
Lockdown sounds cool my GR friends have been really enjoying it. Anna Dressed in Blood is awesome! I hope you like it!

P.S. I’ve also got a new giveaway on my blog for Remembrance if you want to enter.
Yay, Anna Dressed in Blood! I absolutely loved that one. It was one of the most unique books I’ve read. Hope you enjoy all your new reads! Great IMM. :)
My IMM!
Nice IMM. I don’t really like Jasper Fforde. I found his writing style to be really pretentious. :-/
Hope you enjoy them more than I did.
Oh I love Jasper Fforde. Though I may like his Fairytale Nursery Crimes just a bit more than the Bookworld novels. I find him insanely creative. Have you checked out his dystopian?
I so want to hear your thoughts on Anna Dressed in Blood! It’s on my wishlist but I’m still hesitating.
So many great books, it sure looks like you’re going to have some fun with reading in the coming weeks :)
