Lauren and Ruth at Random House UK are pretty flipping sweet! They saw that I wanted to read Flightsend by Linda Newbery and they sent it to me!!! They also sent some more treasures that I'd like to share with you:
Thursday, May 7 -
Blood Water by Dean Vincent Carter - a town under water!
Extreme Kissing by Luisa Playa - J has tried to steal this already
Spook's Apprentice by Joseph Delaney - I can barely wait to start this one!
Flightsend by Linda Newbery - J and I sat on the driveway while I read excerpts
Solace of the Road by Siobhan Dowd - what a beautiful cover
The Dragon Whisperer by Lucinda Hare - hella hard time finding this cover! This book wasn't listed on any book sites - that makes me want to read it even more!
Friday, May 8 -
Bang, Bang, You're Dead by Narinder Dhami - have you seen the Tom Cavanaugh movie of this title? Wonder if similar? You can actually feel the holes on the book cover sign!
Dread Pirate Fleur and the Ruby Heart by Sara Starbuck - Dread Pirate? any relation to the Princess Bride? ::squee:: can't wait!
The Sorceress by Michael Scott - This is book 3! The students will be chasing me around the library!!!
Sebastian Darke: Prince of the Explorers by Philip Caveney - this looks like fun! "How can you kill something that's already dead...?" Check out the cool website!
Yippee! I'm so excited! Look for reviews of these books over the next weeks! My goal is to read and review at least one a week. I'm hoping for some fall book club picks out of this! I'm also going to have the summer book club read and comment on some! Keep your eyes on the brainlair!

Bang, Bang, You're Dead! by Narinder Dhami is not to be confused with the movie of the same name. The book is a very different and original treatment of the threat of school violence and is only similar in outline. It is more of a psychological thriller with a great twist at the end.
