Monday:

My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler
The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson
A Company of Swans by Eva Ibbotson
Lucky Girl by Mei-Ling Hopgood

First three from Bookmooch. Thanks to Amee for suggesting A Company of Swans. And the last one was a random book for review! Sounds interesting!

Tuesday: nothing

Wednesday: nothing

Thursday:

Melody by V.C. Andrews
Contents Under Pressure by Lara M. Zeises
Babe in Toyland by Eugene Seifer Olson
Heavenly Date and Other Flirtations by Alexander McCall Smith
The Next Thing On My List by Jill Smolinski
There's A (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell by Laurie Notaro
Falling In Love With Natassia by Anna Monardo

^^^ Library Book Store, was there for longer than usual (more time to grab things)! Melody sounds like it might be the most interesting of the V.C. Andrews I've come across!


The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton

Thanks to Yan for this book via a trade!

Friday:

Geektastic by Various

Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
Sleepaway Girls by Jen Calonita

These came for review, I screamed OMG several times when I saw what they were!

The Breakup Bible by Melissa Kantor
I Love You, Let's Meet by Virginia Vitzthum
Envy by Anna Godbersen

First two were from the $2 Borders Clearance Sale while I was buying the books for my giveaway. I had $15 Borders Bucks and a coupon so I'll call Envy free!

Saturday:

The Celebutantes: On the Avenue by Antonio Pagliarulo

Got this from bookmooch, anyone read it?

So what are you reading right now?

  2. Good going!! I have A Company of Swans ready to read this year. Just when I read it is anyone's guess.

  3. I would need to buy a new bookshelf for that many books. (I've already filled my last shelf and have resorted to book piles in random places throughout the house.)

    Right now I'm reading Drood by Dan Simmons and A Monstrous Regiment of Women by Laurie R. King. First time with Drood, can't remember how many times I've read Monstrous Regiment. It's one of my favorites.

  7. I totally want Twenty Boy Summer and Geektastic!! You must tell me how you got them.

    Also, I love the Logan series. It is really good. One of my two fave VCA books is in that series- it's Music in the Night (the 4th one).

    And that's an odd cover for Bermudez Triangle- I've never seen it before. Do you know why it's like that?

  8. Come on, you HAVE to post some bookcase pictures! Or at least a total number of books. I'm so curious! I've also been wondering, how do you make them have the plain white background?

  25. I'm thinking you own a secret library somewhere, and are the only one with a key, and that all these books are immaculately arranged on shelves.....

    ReplyDelete
  26. Beth- How I wish that were the case!
