In My Mailbox #167

This has been the worst week of my life. It started last Sunday, with pain in my back. And I remembered this pain from two years ago, when I got my first abscess. I was hoping I was wrong. But the pain got worse. And it started to swell. On the same damn place as my first abscess. Which I didn't think was possible. And.. I have it in the worst place ever :( behind on my butt crack. Sigh. It's awful. Because of this I have been in an awful pain all week, hurts to sit, hurts to stand, hurts to lie down. Haven't slept much these past few days. Was waiting for it to explode, and five minutes before I was planning on going to the doctor today it did explode on its own. It hurt a little, and a lot of blood came out, though it isn't all dead yet. But it will be shortly, I hope. Anyway. The pain is less now. And I hope this is the very last time I get an abscess. They are the worst. Having Morbus Crohn sucks. Sigh. ANYWAY! Despite having the worst week with my health, and not being able to catch up, I did read some amazing books. And I'm all kinds of happy about that. I re-read the amazing The Winner's Curse for the third time. <3 Still the best. Then I read The Winner's Crime :D Which I loved so much. I shared another Cress Tuesday. <3 And this week I'm waiting on The Accidental Afterlife of Thomas Marsden. <3 Excited about this book. Oh! And I'm currently reading The Glass Arrow, which I will share my review for later tonight. Anyway. I was supposed to get a lot of pre-orders this week. Didn't happen. Such slow mail these days. Sigh. But next week! Next week everything better arrive :) But either way, I'm thrilled about what I did get this week. <3 The 100! Swaaaag! So much love. <3 Happy about all. What did you get this week?

Got Joyride via auto-download from Macmillan at Netgalley :D If I don't get print ARC, I will be reading this. <3 So excited.

  10. I'm just so sorry that you're not feeling well, C. That sounds awful and so painful. :( I wish there was something more I could do for you. I'm glad you're starting to feel better, but I wish you didn't have to deal with it at all.

    Love seeing your next books! I bought Reborn in the store for myself today. I'm excited to read it. I'm also looking forward to Joyride! *crosses fingers for happy ending*

    Happy reading, love!
