I did pretty well this week with not going completely book crazy! My mom had given me a gift card to our bookstore thinking there was only two dollars on there, but it ended up to be twenty! How awesome is that?! So with that I bought Beth Fantaskey's book which I read two weeks ago. I loved it so much I just had to buy my own copy. Then I've read a lot of great reviews on Not That Kind of Girl saying that it's an awesome coming of age and realistic teen story.
Drumroll please....
I got Forbidden! Yes! I was completely bummed that I wouldn't have been able to get this until June in the U.S. so I ordered it from UK Amazon. It wasn't that expensive, which I was expecting the shipping to be crazy, and it got here quicker than items I order from my country! I love the England post offices!
So my question is, since I used a gift card does that count against my buying book ban?

I won this adorable prize package from the amazing Lori at Pure Imagination as part of her Spooktasktic Halloween Giveaway! As I was typing up this post my dad brought in the mail and with a big smile on his face told me I had a package. I was (okay still am) so excited! How awesome is this? I love the little goodies and the book that I can't wait to read just in time for Halloween! Thank you so much Lori!

-Not That Kind of Girl by Siobhan Vivian
