Bought:
I actually "bought" these with some of my virtual credit from Powell's Bookstore. I traded in over 60 bks and they gave me over $100 in credit! You can take cash but I know I will want to buy books so I took the credit. 3 of these are on my Books I Want to Read list!
Anybody Out There by Marian Keyes
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong
Fool by Christopher Moore
Three Girls and Their Brother by Theresa Rebeck
Borrowed:
I placed some orders at my favorite library and these came in. They are both on my Books I Want to Read list!
Broken Soup by Jenny Valentine
My Life in Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald
Begged:
I'm trying to review more YA books this year as part of my blog focus. Many of the books will be read by my YA summer book club and/or booktalked for 8th graders. Here are some ARCs I received from HarperTeen. I hope to do well with these so that I can receive more!
Radiant Darkness by Emily Whitman (5/09)
The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong (5/09) W00t! And I just bought the first book!
Love You, Hate You, Miss You by Elizabeth Scott (6/09)
Broken Soup by Jenny Valentine (4/09) Just got this from library - Now I own it!!!!

ReplyDeleteHi KB,
ReplyDeleteOh, like the new layout. I'm currently writing daily for NaPoWriMo, 30 poems/30 days so not likely to do the read-a-thon. You're talking about Weekly Geeks, right?
What a awesome week of books!!!

ReplyDeleteYou got a great stash of books this week. I haven't read any of them but some of them are on my reading list. Have fun reading them.
