Monday:
One Lonely Degree by C. K. Kelly Martin
This book is going to rule, seriously it sounds so amazing. It came for review.
Tuesday:
Breathless by Lurlene McDaniel
If The Witness Lied by Caroline B. Cooney
These were a fun surprise! For review.
Wednesday:
Cathy's Key by Sean Stewart and Jordan Weisman
Completes my trio of Cathy books. To review.
Thursday:
Turning Tables by Heather and Rose MacDowell
A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly
Chuck Dugan is AWOL by Eric Chase Anderson
These came from the library sale. When I saw the Eric Chase Anderson book I starting freaking out. He's the brother of my favorite director Wes Anderson. He's done all the illustrations for the Criterion Collection packaging for the movies and also all the awesome art in the Royal Tenenbaums. I had completely forgotten he had written a book so I was SO happy to see it!
Dork Diaires: Tales from a not so fabulous life by Rachel Renee Russell
Ok, I just had to share a picture with you of what came with Dork Diaries. It's "Nikki's Purse", the main character's purse! It sounds like most of the contents relate directly to the story. You better believe I will have this next to me when I'm reading the book! What a fun marketing idea!
Friday: nothing

My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger
The Learners Chip Kidd
The Used World by Haven Kimmel

I love the cover of My Most Excellent Year. I almost bought it today, but I got some others instead.
ReplyDeleteI love how much effort you put into stimulating the economy!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember everything you have or do you sometimes buy a book and then remember you already have it? Also, I don't know if I've asked you this before, but do you keep any kind of list or record of what you have, because if you do I'd love to see it!
Let me know about the Lurlene McDaniel one called Breathless. I used to love her novels. They always made me cry.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got One Lonely Degree. I can't wait for your review!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of books!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with you, the purse is a GREAT marketing strategy!
That purse is cool! Did you buy that or did it come for review? I can't imagine it would sell with the book - does it? Is it all kinds of expensive?
ReplyDeleteA curious,
Cat ;)
I need to be so much more creative in my marketing of books.

I think the books at Borders were just calling your name.
ReplyDeleteYou got some really good books and I love the purse idea what a great marketing tool. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteHey everyone! "Nikki's Purse" came with Dork Diaries which came for review! Very fun indeed!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great week in books! I just got textbooks for my last few summer classes. Oh, and one book from Mooch and one from my grandma! So a fair week for me too. :P

ReplyDeleteI need to get the Cathy books. They sent me the third one for review...I hate when they do that.

ReplyDeleteMy Most Excellent Year is a great book. I love it. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteYeay for all the great books and I still adore how you display them. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Nikki's Purse thing is probably one of the coolest marketing strategies I've ever seen! I'm actually thinking of incorporating something similar for my students when they do literary character analysis! Thanks for sharing!!
