When Mallory gets cheated on she decides to "go vintage". She swears off technology and decides to complete a list inspired by one her grandmother made in 1962. I thought this book was going to be about her going back to the 60's :( Oh well I think it still sounds cute, esp. because all the chapters begin with lists.

Paperback Releases:
- Smart Girls Get What They Want By: Sarah Strohmeyer- I am 100% in love with this cover!! It is so freaking beautiful... Erin Fitzsimmons did a fab job. The original cover was nice too, but this one just rocks!
- Cursed By: Jennifer L. Armentrout- I'm glad there was no cover change for this one because it's definitely one of my favorite covers from last year :)
- Double By: Jenny Valentine- YA mystery about a boy who takes on a missing boys identity and then finds himself caught up in a mystery.
Not a ton of books this week, but definitely some good ones. Impostor looks cool, and so does Dear Life, You Suck and Going Vintage.
PS- I'm getting a blog make-over, so I'm currently under construction. Things will probably be changing on and off for a few days :) I'm pretty obsessed with the new design though!!!
Dear Life, You Suck and Going Vintage are both going on my Goodreads to-read shelf! Hope the blog make-over goes well! I'm on Wordpress and I changed the theme of mine, it looks so different! it's going to take a while to get used to it!
