Ahoy!
Oh gosh! I leave in a day (slightly less because my flight is at 6am, so I have to be at the airport at 4am, so early, yuck haha). I’m a little stress trying to get everything done and ready to go, but I’m also super excited! That being said, I’ll be gone for 2 months so everyone be nice to Kim while she holds down the Book Munchies’ fort!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. *Reverse Author Interviews: Info & Sign Up”
So this is an event Bookmunchies will be hosting in April, do sign up! Even if it’s only one day! Basically some awesome authors has asked us (as readers, bloggers etc) for some answers in regards to what we think about the book world (from anything about love lines, to ethics, to how do you pick your books etc. etc.!). So this is a good chance for us to share our thoughts with our beloved authors (:
2. As you guys probably know by now, I’ll be off backpacking/travelling for the next two months! I should have internet access, but for the most part Kim will be holding down the fort while I am away. I do have some reviews and WoWs lined up anyways though. The reviews are mostly books I’v read a while back but haven’t gotten the chance to post reviews yet.
3. Congratulations to Na, for winning the Book Munchie’s February Romance Shenanigan giveaway! I hope you enjoy your book!
BOOK HAUL
In My Mailbox post! Hosted by The Story Siren, In My Mailbox is a chance to showcase new books, ones checked out from the library, bought, won or received for review.
One in the mailbox this week, and what an awesome one it was! Thanks to Harper Collins and Epic Reads for the arc copy!
(01) Requiem by Lauren Oliver
They have tried to squeeze us out, to stamp us into the past.
But we are still here.
And there are more of us every day.
Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.
After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor.
Maybe we are driven crazy by our feelings.
Maybe love is a disease, and we would be better off without it.
But we have chosen a different road.
And in the end, that is the point of escaping the cure: We are free to choose.
We are even free to choose the wrong thing.
Definitely excited to finish off the series! Quick question though, should I read the novella Hana? Will it enhance my reading experience of this book? haha. Also, thoughts on this cover? I think it’s gorgeous. (My copy is the over cover haha).
I’m so excited to read Requiem and finish off the series too – and love the cover! I haven’t read Hana, and don’t plan to since novellas aren’t really my thing.
Enjoy your trip.

(New follower here) I love the idea of the reverse author interviews, and I’ve signed up.
Here’s my Sunday Post for this week. I’ve got a few cool books for review, but I’ll also be concentrating on my TBR pile for Kimba’s Take Control of Your TBR Pile challenge.
Have a great time on your trip, Cyn!
Is that the UK cover version? I think it I like it better than the orange US one =O lol. Hope you enjoy it! My Sunday Post
Oh, I still need to sign up for the reverse interviews, thanks for reminding me!

I’ve never read any of Lauren Oliver’s books, but I’ve heard really good things. I really need to give her books a try.
Happy reading
Thank you so much! I look forward to your Wallbanger review. It seems like a very funny book
