I swear to you, one week I won't have any new books. It WILL happen.Monday: Why I Let My Hair Grow Out arrives from a bookmoocher.
Tuesday: Matrimony arrives from author Joshua Henkin. Thanks for the referral J. Kaye!
Wednesday: The Grift arrives in a very very large stiff envelope!
Thursday: I decide to browse the friends on the library bookstore for 10 minutes between buses. I find practically brand new copies of The Other Boy and Forbidden Boy. Thought it would be fun to try this author. They are both 2 dollar and I also get one for my sister. I think I'll have to make this a weekly ritual! (Thursday is the only day it's open late enough for me to go) Also I come home to find A Great and Terrible Beauty from a bookmoocher.
Friday: Queen of Babble in the Big City arrives from a bookmoocher.
Saturday: Alphabet Weekends arrives from a bookmoocher.
I thought this would be the end of any more bookmooch books for me for awhile. But in the past few days I've had a few mooches. Very excited!
What's new in books for you guys that aren't part of the book ban challenge?
Ooh, you'll love the Gemma Doyle Trilogy!
ReplyDeleteI am getting Wicked Lovely for my birthday later this week.
I should also be getting Christine Fletcher's first book Tallulah Falls from PaperbackSwap.com sometime soon (she is the author of Ten Cents a Dance which I LOVED).
As far as I know that's it for the new books this week. It's my birthday on Thursday, though, so there will be a book order in the next couple of weeks courtesy of my birthday money. :P
I was gone for two weeks and came home and have four books to review... and summer work to catch up on!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of them!
I got Violet in Private through a blog contest this week. That was exciting!

Shooting Stars Mag- Yay for contests and Violet In Private is great!
J. Kaye- I went into Sam's Club today, doing some errands, looking around. When I was shocked to find a whole young adult section! I left with 6 books!, 5 of them YA, they were all under 6 dollars. Amazing amazing! I'm definitely taking care of business while you are on a book fast!
