November TBR Pile, Online Events, and Utah Signings

November 2, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: News 4 Comments

———–To Read———–

This month I want to read the new release, Reached.  For review, I’m going to read Timeless. I’m going to read 2 books I own – one physical book and one ebook. For the physical book, I’m going to read Raven Boys.  I’ve been looking forward to reading it ever since I got it signed. For the ebook I’m going to read Cate of the Lost Colony.  I thought reading about pilgrims would get me in the Thanksgiving mood :)
