Batch of Library Books 7/22/10

This should probably be called the Holy $#!+ edition, because I got 10 books at the library today. All 10 decided to come to me from my waiting list at the same time. This should be interesting considering I still have 7 floating around my house.

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. I've been looking forward to this one for awhile--so excited! It is sort of a 'Groundhog Day' tale where she lives the day of her death over and over again.

The Cinderella Society by Kay Cassidy. I read a review of this one on another book blog and added it to my list immediately. Seems like a classic outsider joins popular group and all is not as it seems story.

 

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. I am so, so happy this one came in because I just finished City of Bones and I wasn't really sure how I was going to last the wait until getting the next one.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith. I'll probably read this one before the copy of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter that I got last week.

Wake by Lisa McMann. I've heard nothing but good things about this one and it seems like a short read, so I'm excited.

Crank by Ellen Hopkins. I love how this is based on her daughter. I'm sure this will be a heavy, but thought provoking read.

Num8ers by Rachel Ward. I'm pretty sure this is one where she predicts deaths somehow. I don't really remember, but I do know that it was on my Goodreads list and it was on hold for awhile at the library!

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I'm pretty sure I'll be the last person on the planet to read this one. I'm on the lookout for Patch.

Mugglenet.com's Harry Potter Should Have Died: Controversial Views from the #1 Fan Site by Emerson Spartz and Ben Schoen. I know I'm way behind on this one as well, but eh, what can I say. I'm hoping this one is funny.

Harry, A History by Melissa Anelli. I've heard very good things about this one (mainly from Sandy, Hi Sandy!). I always saw it in the store and almost picked it up, but I'll give it a shot from the library!

Phew, that was intense. Have you read any of these? Any suggestions on which ones I should tackle first? Thanks.

 

Batch of Library Books 7/18/10

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. After reading the ARC of Clockwork Angel, I wanted to get my hands on everything Cassandra Clare has ever touched. I put myself right on that library waiting list and it's finally here. This jumped in front of all of my other to be read books and I started reading it already. I'm only a few chapters in, but it is already fabulous. It will be going on my trip to Boston with me tomorrow.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. I still haven't read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but when I saw this one was actually available at my library--no waiting lists involved, I had to snatch it up. It's only 300 some pages, so it should be a quick read. I'm hoping it is good. 

White Cat: The Curse Workers Book One by Holly Black. I have heard a lot of good things about this book, so I was excited to see it on the shelf. Any sort of fantasyish book is usually a-okay with me!

Now, in my review of Pirate Latitudes, I mentioned the cool pages of the book. I finally got around to uploading my photos, so you will be able to see them below!

piratessssssssssss

Also, here is a fabulous picture of my snacky snack while reading. Does anyone else snack a lot while they read?

'gasmic, right?

On another note, I am leaving for Boston tomorrow and I'll be back on Thursday. I'm going to try to set up some reviews to post while I'm away, but it is already almost 2 AM, so we shall see how that works out. If not, you can definitely expect a giveaway post (yay, my first!) on Friday for the Got Books? event! It's shaping up to be a pretty good one... audio book, soundtrack and some other goodies. :) Have a good week and if you need anything, email me at kaitlynkline (at) gmail (dot) com!
