Looks like you have had a great week. I can't wait to read Insurgent. I am hoping to read it in January. Black City is another that I would like to read. I read Invisible and was not crazy about it, but I wasn't out anything since it was a freeby for me too. I hope you enjoy it though. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBlack City looks like a really good book!
