Saturday:

Twilight

Wait.... how did that get there? It's not a book! LOL!

Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
Fade by Lisa McMann
Evermore by Alyson Noel

I made Yan a deal, my hardcovers for her paperbacks (ARCs) and they showed up today, plus Evermore as a trade!

  1. Whoa!! I think this is the best week ever since I've been reading. You have some great ones there and some new to me (and I know I'll be adding to my wish list).

    And that S. Krishna should be getting some kind of kick back for making us all acquire books.

    It'll take me the entire week to check out all of these titles!!

  2. Oh my! What an awesome week!

    You're going to love Art Geeks and Prom Queens. It is so cute. One of my faves!

    Jealous of A Map of the Known World and It's Not You, It's Me. Both sound great!

  3. You are going to love Go Figure and the Hoffman book!!!

    I love your lists and I need to move closer to your house - since apparently all the good book sales are in your area :)

    I love getting "mysterious" packages myself - and I was lucky enough to get one this week.

    Enjoy!!!
