There's actually a book tag for it created by maureenkeavy-I did it a week or two ago and it was fun! I also got a copy of Whisper to Me.

I hope you do get to go, but I would totally be hiding under my bed with anxiety, so I understand that too. *pats shoulder* *feeds you encouraging chocolate*<br /><br />Also you don't have too many books if you still have, like, a floor. If you can't see your floor because it's covered in books...then you don't have enough floor. <-- AKA NEVER TOO MANY BOOKS. XD<br /><br />Also I'm so glad you love Mycroft and Watts! <3 THOSE TWO.

Even though that was shit scary, at least it was an accidental delete and not someone reporting you because that would have been the worse. <br />And you got your money back. Thank God!<br />Great haul! I hope you have better luck with Riders. I read it last year and it was pretty boring. <br />The Power! Awesome! I'd say I'm jealous, but it comes out on Tuesday, so it's almost in my hands. :D Now I know you haven't read her Half-Blood series, which you do need to before reading The Return and The Power as it's a spin-off of that series with one of the main characters. I guess you don't have to, but it would make a lot more sense if you read it first.

I've also heard that blogger deletes blogs randomly, and it happened to another blogger friend of mine. It almost caused her to quit blogging because she was so overwhelmed. Thankfully her blogging bestie has a husband who's a computer genius and he got it back up for her, but yeah, she switched platforms. I did too, but it was because I was super angry that Google Reader ceased to exist. <br /><br />And no, you cannot have too many books (although, I have to admit, it's nice to know that there's bloggers out there who's physical TBRs put mine to shame (I only have about 400). :)<br /><br />I am so excited for you to binge read The Winner's Curse trilogy! Also a little jealous, since I'm having to wait until the third book gets released. While I'm super glad to have read the first two already, there's something to be said about getting to read all three back to back. <br /><br />Kate @Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220575670960466054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-1972177743993208492016-02-20T14:13:43.527+00:002016-02-20T14:13:43.527+00:00Oh god!

But sadly, I'm one of those technology challenged kind of people. I mean I know some things, but not much when it comes to computers and such things as websites. I am totally clueless, so that's why I've stuck with blogger all these years. Glad things were sorted out though.<br /><br />Great haul!!

I still can't believe blogger does that and you've made ME so frightened that I sort of want to be self hosted as well. Just gotta work out and learn how to achieve that. I can't believe the issue with the bank as well. I hate it when things like that happen to people and those with the authority to fix them sort of don't care and take forever to help... if they ever do in the end. <br /><br />BUT at least you got some pretty worthy books!
