Today’s Weekly Recap is all about Aimee!
Again, nothing happened this week. Are you seeing a pattern here? But I did get my tooth extraction over with, which is fabulous. My cheek is still semi-puffy though.
Also, I am sad that I couldn’t be at BEA this year. My haul is definitely not as wild as hauls from BEA goers will be, but I’m happy with this week’s purchases. Yes, that’s why this is just a “regular book haul” in my title.

BOUGHT
Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan | Tracked by Jenny Martin
Y’all, Daughter of Deep Silence looks amazing. And early reviews have been amazing, too! Tracked also looks amazing, plus the premise is new to me–and Jenny Martin is such a sweetheart!
FOR REVIEW
This Raging Light by Estelle Laure
This Raging Light has family and romance. Exciting!

Aimee loves being a little bookworm (okay–she doesn’t like being little). She also loves chocolates and sweets but is freaked out by the thought of possibly getting diabetes.Goodreads | Twitter | Instagram | all of Aimee’s posts →

I’m really curious about Daughter of Deep Silence – I keep hearing good things too. BEA was a lot of fun; I’m sorry you weren’t able to go. I wasn’t there as much as I would have liked, but it was still a blast and I’ll have to share what I got when they come in the mail. I only traveled with a couple. haha
