This week was a good one for my mailbox! In anticipation of the "A Cornucopia of Dystopia" event I am co-hosting with Casey from The Bookish Type, I received:
Wither by Lauren DeStefano (thanks Simon & Schuster!)
Enclave by Ann Aguirre (thanks Macmillan!)
I also went to my local Chapters bookstore to check for books to put on my birthday wishlist (since my birthday's coming up in about a month). While I was there I found a couple steals in the clearance section that I couldn't resist:
Girl v. Boy by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout (although, why did they have to put the $2 sticker RIGHT over his head? No idea.)
The Tough Guide to Fantasy Land by Diana Wynne Jones
And last but not least, a few holds came in at the library:
Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A. S. King
My Soul to Steal by Rachel Vincent
Rosebush by Michele Jaffe
I loved My Soul to Steal! I hope you like it :). Enclave looks awesome, so jealous! And Wither. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got in some good reads, esp. those first two. Hope you enjoy! Mine is here:

Lol, the $2 sticker over the guy's head is annoying me and I don't even have the book present in front of me :) I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of Enclave since I love the trailer for it.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I havent been to Chapters in a couple weeks and will probably go this week to see if they have any new deals. I just read Wither last week and loved it so can't wait to see what you thought of it.
ReplyDeleteI Haven't read any of these. Sounds like you have a fun local store.

Nice, I really loved 'Wither'... I'm definitely going to buy a copy at some point.
ReplyDeleteHaha oh Chapters... I've seen them put those $2 stickers in strange spots here, as well, on a few books. So strange, lol.
You're really lucky to get such good bargains in Chapters- book sale prices never go near that low in England! Rosebush sounnds good and the cover's pretty. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Wither and My Soul to Steal! Looks like you had a great week book-wise :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your thoughts on "Wither" and "Please Ignore Vera Dietz". I enjoyed "Wither", however, have some issues with the book. It seems to be getting mixed reviews from the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Wither and hope you do too.

Aw yes...it's a small reading world after all! WITHER is next in my TBR. ^_^ Great mailbox! I'm with you on the price stickers though.....here's hoping you either don't mind the placement or it comes off easy. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Wither sooo but my budget is pretty tight right now.
ReplyDeleteAnd I absolutely LOVED Rosebush!
Oh Rosebush! I loved that book! I reviewed it a few weeks ago. I am feeling too lazy to paste the link here though. Let me know what you think about it!
ReplyDeleteOh I'll be curious about a bunch of your reviews for these. I've seen Girl V. Boy around, but I don't have a clear idea of how good it is. I so can't wait to read Enclave!
