I never saw the movie but I think I knew that there was one... It sounds vaguely familiar so I probably knew about it. Maybe I will watch it.

Kristina (kristinalawhead) Today I got:

Saving Zoe by Alyson Noel Stay by Deb Caletti Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers The Carrie Diaries (The Carrie Diaries, #1) by Candace Bushnell ( I have zero interest in the tv show and movie but I think I might like this book version, thoughts??) The Unofficial Harry Potter Encyclopedia Harry Potter A - Z by Kristina Benson The Harry Potter Prequel by J.K. Rowling (OMG!!!) and a handful of baby-sitters club ones that i'm missing from my collection :)


message 1153: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I liked Carrie Diaries but I grew up in the 80's so I think that helped.


message 1154: by Kristina (new)

Kristina (kristinalawhead) Ah well I guess we'll see! I've only read one other book by her (4 Blondes) and it was just okay

Daria (dariadeptula) I got Die for Me (Revenants, #1) by Amy Plum Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth Steel by Carrie Vaughn Glimmerglass (Faeriewalker, #1) by Jenna Black Wild Orchid A Retelling of "The Ballad of Mulan" (Once Upon a Time) by Cameron Dokey The Storyteller's Daughter A Retelling of "The Arabian Nights" (Once Upon a Time) by Cameron Dokey and Cloaked by Alex Flinn from the library. Also, my librarian gave me an ARC of Beauty Queens by Libba Bray !!!


message 1157: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Nice. I wish my librarian gave me ACR's. I don't even think my library gets them. I have to wait at least two weeks for books to show up in the catalog after their release normally.

Jen  (jennifer_ashmy) | 242 comments I just bought Queen of the Dead (The Ghost and the Goth, #2) by Stacey Kade & Elixir (Elixir, #1) by Hilary Duff


Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments Nice library haul, Emily! You must read really fast! Lucky to get an ARC!

That means you must of loved The Ghost and the Goth (The Ghost and the Goth, #1) by Stacey Kade . I'm happy to see that.

I haven't even read it yet but I saw it at B&N. Read a couple of the first pages and bought it. But I didn't start it because I got the feeling it would be one of those " this is so much fun, I need that sequel right now" type of books. So now that I have Queen of the Dead (The Ghost and the Goth, #2) by Stacey Kade I'm gonna start The Ghost and the Goth (The Ghost and the Goth, #1) by Stacey Kade

I'm actually not that fast. I always check out more books than I'm going to read.


message 1163: by Gwennie (last edited Jun 08, 2011 09:02AM) (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) They're really cute reads. The characters are funny and endearing, but it's not a really deep book. On Friday I'll get myself Queen of the Dead so I can get more Alona and Will.

I hope you like it!


message 1164: by Jaimie (new)

Jaimie (jaimier) | 1275 comments I love Candace Bushnell, Four Blondes by Candace Bushnell was my least favorite of hers, in fact I didn't really like it at all. The Carrie Diaries (The Carrie Diaries, #1) by Candace Bushnell was fun - 80's rock!


Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments The Ghost and the Goth looks cute. :)


message 1166: by Jen (new)

Jen  (jennifer_ashmy) | 242 comments Thanks Wendy! I just started The Ghost and the Goth (The Ghost and the Goth, #1) by Stacey Kade today. So far, I agree on the cuteness of it. I'm really liking it :)

Let me know how it is. From the early reviews it looks like a tear jerker.
