Gwennie (blessedwannab) Okay, back from my book buying frenzy. I got a ton of books for friends, and alot for my daughter, but these were specifically for me...

My YA...

The Truth About Sparrows  by Marian Hale Gift of the Unmage (Worldweavers, #1) by Alma Alexander If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince? by Melissa Kantor The Candy Darlings by Christine Walde


Romance, or Historical Fiction/Romance

A Woman of Substance (Emma Harte Saga #1) by Barbara Taylor Bradford Married By Morning (The Hathaways, #4) by Lisa Kleypas The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber Loving Will Shakespeare by Carolyn Meyer

And my thrillers...

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty The Talisman by Stephen King Pet Sematary by Stephen King
(I hope to get my husband to try The Exorcist.)

I got this one for my daughter actually, but i have a section of books that I'm saving for her, so I'll show it anyway.

Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments I went to the library to pick up Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4) by J.K. Rowling in audio (20.5 hours. 17 disks! ) and they had a copy of Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins on a display for teen books so I had to get it. I am so excited to read it. I also got Hippolyta and the Curse of the Amazons (Young Heroes) by Jane Yolen from the discards/free books rack.

I know. Finally, right? I am going to read it after I finish Looking for Alaska by John Green .

I need a lighter fun read. I am almost guaranteed to love it from what I hear. :)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) Just picked up these books from ILL:

Scrawl by Mark Shulman These Is My Words by Nancy E. Turner Once by Morris Gleitzman Sorta Like a Rock Star by Matthew Quick Bamboo People by Mitali Perkins


message 1078: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I am highly interested in what you think of Sorta Like a Rock Star Peep! It was a strange one.


message 1079: by Peep (Pop! Pop!) (new)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) Oh man, don't say that! I requested it a while ago and can't remember what it was about. I liked the idea enough to request it though. That counts, right?


message 1080: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I liked it Peep. It was just different and I want to see your thoughts.


message 1081: by Diana (new)

Diana Someone sent me The Secret Diary of Ashley Juergens by Courtney Turk in the mail. I'm kind of looking forward to reading it mostly because I like books in journal format, to tell the truth I can't stand the show so it'll be kind of funny to read.


message 1082: by Peep (Pop! Pop!) (new)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) Heidi (don't listen to me) wrote: "I liked it Peep. It was just different and I want to see your thoughts."


I'll get started on one of them as soon as I finish Divergent!

message 1085: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Pull out your sh*tkickers!


message 1086: by Peep (Pop! Pop!) (new)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) Ugh, hahaha! I don't know if I should be groaning or smiling after this new information!


message 1087: by Heidi (new)

Heidi You can read my review if you want. I should be spoiler free.


message 1088: by Peep (Pop! Pop!) (new)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) I'm going in blind Heidi. I can't remember what it's about and don't want any info. I like reading that way. I hate when I expect something to happen. It takes away the fun (or whatever other feeling it was supposed to make me feel). >_<


message 1089: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Ok. Can't wait!

Looking for Alaska was very good. I think I gave it 5 stars. Different than I expected but very good.
