I had to really control myself at the bookstore. These were only about half the books I wanted. I made some touch choices about which books to keep and buy and which ones to save for later. I think I made some good choices.
- The Mirror King (The Orphan Queen #2) by Jodi Meadows
So I also happened to find this sitting on the shelves on my used bookstore. It really annoys me seeing ARCs on the shelf when we all know they shouldn't be there. So since this is one I do want to read, I bought it and it is now safely in my ARC collection. And maybe once I get to it, afterwards I may pass it on to someone else or give it away.

So as you can tell, finding that ARC at my used bookstore inspired the ARC related discussion. Make sure to stop by both discussion and let me know your thoughts! :) I'm also keeping up with my Red Queen read-along schedule. I finished this weeks chapters Friday morning. Other than that though, all I managed to read was the short story to the zombie series I've been reading. I ended up with a migraine from Tuesday night through Thursday afternoon. So that put a huge damper on my reading. :(
Guys... I'm gonna be changing the blogs template again. I'm sorry, I swear! Lol. This is the last time for a while! I've been working on trying to add in the html and coding for certain things I want but its been a struggle with not knowing much about html and coding. So I instead ended up finding a nice template off Etsy (again) thats got what I want and still allows me to have control over changing colors to be what I want. So don't freak out when you visit in the next few days. Lol. But the template I'll be getting includes drop down menus (one thing I really want but can't just have on blogger), a good looking featured post section (unlike the one blogger offers that doesn't look good), you may like links under posts (which I used to have but the widgets/coding stopped working), and a bunch of other smaller details I want but blogger makes it so hard to do!
Its Stanley Cup Playoffs time! Both my teams are in! The San Jose Sharks & The Vegas Golden Knights! I'm excited! :)
Bad news. James didn't get the clerk job. Neither did his co-worker who also applied. Lets just say they are both PISSED. Small background, the postmaster at his post office seems to have a habit of constantly screwing over people. And that's exactly what he did. Instead of giving James or his co-worker the clerk job, he hired a straight up newbie who still has to go through training. Really?? Cuz that was a better choice over the 2 people already trained?? We're pretty sure the postmaster decided to be a smarta** and thought he could just hire a newbie and then have all the clerk and sub carrier spots filled instead of giving it to someone more qualified and hiring a new sub. Yeah, his little idea is backfiring. James and his co-worker didn't apply because they hate being carriers, they applied because they have families and need more hours (they are only guaranteed one working day a week as subs). So instead of having every spot filled like he thinks, James is already looking at transferring to another post office where he's not gonna be screwed over (this is the 3rd time he's got screwed over where he's at by said postmaster) and gets more hours or just flat out finding another job, and quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if his co-worker does the same. The management at his post office chases employees away like their the plague but yet continue to screw the few who have stayed and proved their worth and loyalty.
As always, there's still lots of time to join the 2018 Dystopia Reading Challenge! I'd love to have you join! There's even a read 1-5 dystopian books for those of you who aren't sure you'll like them or don't read a lot of them! :)
