This Week In Books Or Book Buying=Stress Relief!


Monday:

Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot
She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot

Sixteen edited by Megan McCafferty


These were all from bookmooch!

The Season by Sarah MacLean

For review! Wohoo!

Tuesday: nothing

Wednesday: nothing

Thursday:

Bittersweet Sixteen by Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman

JUST missed a bus so I popped into the Barnes and Noble right next door to the building I usually seek warmth in, in the morning and browsed their clearance section. Found this book for $2.

Go Ask Alice by Anonymous
Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson

The Third Angel by Alice Hoffman


Got these from the Library Book Store.

Friday:

Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

I won this from Free Book Friday Teen! And it's signed!

Take the Reins (Canterwood Crest #1) by Jessica Burkhart
Geek Charming by Robin Palmer

Wake by Lisa McMann


You can't say blogs don't work. I kept reading about the Canterwood Crest books recently and today I checked out the website for the series here. I needed to have it! And check out the Cover Story for Take the Reins over at Melissa Walker's blog here. The covers are gorgeous! Geek Charming I featured on Waiting On Wednesday a few weeks ago and Wake recently came out in paperback so I had to get it!

Killing Yourself To Live by Chuck Klosterman
The Dashwood Sisters' Secrets of Love by Rosie Rushton

Irish Girls About Town

Make Him Look Good by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez


Carol told me about the 3-day $1 sale Barnes and Noble was having so I had to head over to my local store, these are the books I found!

Saturday:

The Makedown by Gitty Daneshvari
Girl Most Likely To by Poonam Sharma

The Makedown is for review, this book sounds great! And Girl Most Likely to is from Bookmooch!

  3. Yay for all the books you got. I think The Makedown sounds fun as well. I just read an interview with the author a few days ago.

  4. Your B&N had a better selection of books for the 3-day sale. :P

    The only $1 YA book that I found was Bittersweet Sixteen.

    P.S. You did some really good books! :)

  6. This is always one of my favorite posts to read every week!

    I have Bittersweet Sixteen -I got it from Goodwill because the cover was pretty. I've read Go Ask Alice, though. It does for drugs what Twilight did for premarital sex.

  8. Hey, Alea. I have a lookalike I wanted to point out to you, but I don't have your email and I don't know how to embed pictures into comments. But the lookalike is The Third Angel by Alice Hoffman and the cover of Secondhand Serenade's cd, A Twist in My Story.

  9. There was a 3 day $1 sale!? I didn't even know. This is the one time I can take relief in the fact that my B&N has a crappy clearance section already. At least that's what I assume applied to the $1 sale. If not, well then I'm mad. lol

  10. At least your Barnes & Noble had more than one good book for a dollar! My selection stunk.

    The Season? Sweet!

    And Go Ask Alice is a classic. I even talked my sister into reading it.

  16. Go Ask Alice is a classic. Would love to hear your views on it later. I read just before or during high school. At my age, the years blur.

    Quite a haul this week. I go through weeks when I buy a ton of books and then the next week nothing. Those nothing weeks don't occur very often though.

  21. Can I say I'm jealous? Geek Charming? The Season?
    I got Canterwood Crest, too! It looks amazing!

  22. Go Ask Alice is amazing. I read it years ago and now I kind of want to go read it again. And I agree with blogs working I really want to read Take the Reigns after all the press online and I don't think its something I would normally read. And how do you do those book arrangements. They are amazing.

  23. I requested for the Makedown to review also! But I am unsure if my message was received...
