I'm pretty new to blogging in general (especially for an audience beyond my parents and in-laws), but I'm loving finding new blogs to read all the time! The list of blogs that I follow seems to grow hourly! I've just started looking for ways to do post that go beyond my literary musings, starting with the "Waiting on..." Wednesdays and now premiering...
Name: Jessi
Education: BA in History and Secondary Education (minor in Political Science); currently pursuing an MA in Library Science
Where am I?: I currently live with my husband and our two spoiled cats in a tiny town of 220 people in Missouri. However, we commute to Columbia, MO for work/school every day. Both my husband and I are originally from Central Illinois.
And in all the spare time...: I read! It (obviously) tops the charts, followed closely by cooking, playing my piano, reading blogs (on books and food), and snuggling (with my husband and kitties).
This week's question comes from Ellie who blogs at Musings of a Bookshop Girl:
"If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?"
Oooo...book money! I never have any of that! Here's what I think I would buy:
- The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
- The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa
- Delirium by Lauren Oliver
- The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff
- Wither by Lauren DeStefano (pre-order)
- Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward (pre-order)
- Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler (ebook)
- My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent (ebook)

Here's MY BLOGGER HOP POST
New follower from the Hop! Hope you enjoy the world of book blogging. Have a great weekend!
New follower here as well, found you on the Hop. I love your blog title! A corner is just so perfect for reading.
I blog over at http://ems-reviews-books.blogspot.com/
You're more than welcome. :-) Happy Friday to you too.
Glad I'd have at least one customer if I ever do get to open a store. :-)
Have you ever read Captivating? It is a good inspirational book.

Great book choices! I've never heard of someone giving up books for Lent. It sounds like you really made a personal sacrifice.
Wow! What a great question this week. I always peek at other people's book piles at the checkout link at B&N. That doesn't make me a voyeur, does it?
The exhibitionist in me has posted my own bookstore shopping list -- and it's not as predictable as you may think!
Hop on over to my blog for all the suspense and chills of my TBR list - http://www.howardsherman.net
Happy Hop Friday!

Hi! I just followed you through the FF post :)
I'm a new blogger as well! I've read Delirium and The Replacement. I really loved the former, and the latter was enjoyable. I have the Iron Daughter and My Soul to Take on my to-read list, too :)
Here's my blog, check it out if you like http://the-book-eater.blogspot.com/
Hopping on by to say hello! I've read some of the books on your list, but not all of them --- it's been interesting to see what people have been listing for this Hop's question. I'm definitely adding more books to my TBR list.... :)
Happy Hopping!
The question has thrown up very interesting reads. Coming through on the hop.
New follower here. Great blog. Hop on over to my blog at http://kkbparadise.blogspot.com Take care.
Hi, JessiM! Thanks for dropping by my blog. Sorry it took me awhile to follow back. Caught up in reading! :D
I want to "give up" something for lent too and I thought of reading...but I can't! So kudos to you for going thru that. :)
Great book picks! Totally worth the budget. :D
Happy reading!
