I hope you like Sweep. It's one of my personal favorites. it's a great growing up and coming into yourself story. :)








Entwined was basically an impulse buy (I shouldn't do that). Out of this group I'll most likely read Where I Belong first, since I bought because an author event at my bookstore and it's on 4/6.

















The cover is what first caught my attention.

Wow! My local library also has a Friends of the Library sale (twice a year), but they never have anything that good.

I am reading the Sweep series with Book of Shadows & The Coven, I am really enjoying it. When I began I thought the writing style may have been too young but as I read on it seemed to get stronger and I love how descriptive the words are.A really lovely read, I have book and one and two together as I found it at the library, I am hoping I can get the next ones! ;)

Great haul! I need to call my library and find out if/when they have those sales. :)

I'm also staring so intently at 'Please Ignore Vera Dietz' by A. S King that I believe my laptop will get fed-up of that window being open and just add it to my basket for me.
My postman is going to love me.
Whoops.







I know! I am excited :)






I also got



Well, not necessarily against my better judgement because it seems really cute, I guess I should've said that I shouldn't be buying anything right now :)

Does your library have Overdrive or Netlibrary? I get most of mine that way now. Oh I got you about the buying thing! Been there, done that :)

Crank by Ellen Hopkins was good in audio. The book is just fantastic so that may be why. Glass was also available on my Overdrive library. I have listened to a few already and I just got my library card this year. Saves money and it is nice to relax and be read to.
I am currently reading:










Some of those will be great summer reads. I am happy to have all of them. Only 1 dollar for most and 2 for A Walk to Remember and The Revenge of the Shadow King.

Oh my! I love audio so I have a ton. What types of books do you like? I see in your tbr pile you have
Delirium - I know most Overdrive's have that. I also know most Overdrive's have the Bloody Jack series Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy, which is one of my favorite's on audio. I highly recommend The Help or The Book Thief OR if you want light or fun the Georgia Nicholson series Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging or any book by Sarah Addison Allen.







And even though I was just saying yesterday that I didn't need to buy anything my friend and I went to a Borders that is closing and everything was 80% off! So I got all these for $20!



















Still haven't got my copy!"
I didn't plan on getting it today but my book buying compulsion took over lol and I just had to take advantage of the pricecut on it. I just started this series (I'm on City of Bones) so it's gonna be a while till I get to read mine but I'm super excited, I'm loving this series so far.

























and I got about 10 Baby Sitters Little Sister books, I'm trying to complete my collection. I also got a bag of "mystery/misc" YA books age 7-12 for $2. Altogether I paid 20.00!
