**’Post’ on Sundays is a weekly/biweekly post here at Forever 17 Books where I can share with you all the goodies I have received, bought or borrowed. This post was inspired by In My Mailbox by The Story Siren.**
I have decided to start linking up with Tynga’s Reviews and the Stacking the Shelves meme!
Here’s this week’s book haul!
-The Sound by Sarah Alderson I bought myself a copy of this one. ‘Sounds’ great, right?
-Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell Thank you St. Martin’s Press! (review)
-Breaking Point (Article 5 #2) by Kristen Simmons Won these from Live to Read and the author! And look, she is even letting me borrow Chase! Thank youuuu!
Okay, this next one deserves it’s own picture…
-Crash Into You (Pushing the Limits #3) by Katie McGarry MAJOR SQUEEEEE! The lovely and wonderful Nereyda @ Mostly YA Book Obsessed sent me her extra copy and ADFGHJKL, Isaiah! I’m almost done and it is sooooo good!
Guys, I did it! I made the switch on Friday and I’m excited to see all the great things I can do over here. I mentioned it before but it’s worth saying again, it is going to take me some time to get adjusted so please be patient with the site as I learn the ins and outs. So far it’s been… a little rough, I can’t even lie. I knew it would be though. Admittedly there were some tears. I mean, a year and a half of doing things one way and now all of a sudden getting something shiny and new with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos, it’s scary!
Thank goodness for Ashley @ Nose Graze who not only created the Ultimate Book Blogger Plugin and Tweak Me theme, but was also available to answer a few questions I had. The biggest help ever was Nereyda. I’m not sure what I would have done without her. She helped with a lot of little details and provided me with a few screencaps to help me out. First she send me Isaiah this week and then she helps me with this! I owe her, big time!
I realize my older posts are all wonky. I’m guessing I’ll need to go through and fix them. I probably won’t bother with the memes, but the reviews must be fixed. THAT will take me forever.
I had originally planned on bringing GFC over to WordPress but that has been taken off the table for me. I hope you guys will find an alternative way to follow! Check the sidebar for a whole list of other options. I personally love Feedly but Bloglovin seems to be the popular choice lately.
I’m very excited what this switch can mean for my little blog! I hope you’ll continue to stick around!
What book should I read, review, and giveaway next!
Jessica @ Jessabella Reads
Congrats on making the switch! I know you were nervous about it, but everything looks great! I also got a finished copy of Fangirl. As you know, I am usually not one for contemporaries, but maybe I’ll give it a go. MY STS

Jessica @ Step Into Fiction
I used to be on wordpress but we switched to Blogger when we changed our blog name awhile back. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but good luck! I’ve actually thought of going back but I’m okay with staying where I am (for now).
Also, Crash Into You…I’m so jealous. I love Katie McGarry. She is brilliant and I am dying for this book. So excited to hear it’s amazing, too!
Enjoy your books & your new home (it looks good). Here’s my haul

Jennifer @ Some Like It Paranormal
Oohhh all books I’m dying to read! The Sound, Breaking Point, and Crash Into You!!!!!!!!! Enjoy! And congrats on wordpress! I’ve thought about changing forever since I like the commenting so much better lol but also because blogger never bolds anything and I always have issues getting pictures and text to go where it is supposed to. But I’m horrible at learning anything new so it will take awhile before I feel up to such a big change.

I probably should have mentioned, and included the review links, but I’ve read Article 5 and Breaking Point already and loved them!

Oh my goodness, Crash Into You! This past week, I’ve been like this insane stalker on Twitter. I think I saw like one of your tweets about it, and then I went and read ALL of them. (I’m not weird, I swear) haha!
And then yay for WordPress!! The UBB is the best, and I get what you’re saying about the formatting of posts. I still haven’t finished updating mine – it gets exhausting after a while, and I didn’t even bother with the memes.
Oh. I’m also really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Article 5. I read it earlier this week, and it wasn’t anything like I’d expected it to be.
Andreea
Congrats on being on WordPress.
Happy reading to you – I am so jealous because you got PTL #3!
I still have to read PTL#2.

Happy Reading 🙂

Becca @ Nawanda Files
So glad you were able to get Crash into You! Can’t wait to see how you like it 🙂 And I know how scary WordPress is. I had to use it for my work, and I was freaking out too. It’s definitely better than blogger as far as Plugins go, but it can be a little finicky at first. Hopefully you’ll get used to it. Krista and I keep debating on switching, but I think we’re going to stay with Blogger for now because we don’t want that added stress of having to update everything, even if it will definitely pay off in the long-run 😀

Congrats on making the switch to WordPress! Don’t stress too much. I’m sure it will take time, but hopefully you’ll find it’s worth it in the end. 🙂
I’m so jealous you got Fangirl for review. It sounds awesome. I just bought a copy of Eleanor and Park (finally!!) so I have to read that ASAP.

I made the switch a few weeks ago and i really have loved having more freedom to do the things that i wanted to do. Not to mention, Ashley over at Nose Graze is so helpful and wonderful. I really see that a lot of people got Fangirl this week. Come visit me as well.

First of all, congratz to the WP move. I just moved last week too and I can definitely relate with all the wonky posts. I spent two sleepless nights fixing them. I also have Ashley’s UBB and Tweak Me Theme. And yeah, Ashley’s customer support is more than excellent. *fistbump*
Back to your STS, I haven’t heard about any of these books except for Katie McGarry’s. But I do hope that you enjoy them!
