I grabbed them as well. Everyone raves about them, but I just haven't got around to them yet. I figured I might as well pick them up since it was only $3 for all three!

Ugh. The digest version of these threads are always a few days behind when I get them via e-mail. I just read that the books were on sale this morning, but they're already back up to regular price.

(Please ignore the fact that I already have more books in my To Be Read pile than is probably legally allowed, so I have no reason to be upset. Still . . .)


message 1981: by Julie (new)

Julie I just picked up Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes Fancy White Trash by Marjetta Geerling and Soul Thief (The Demon Trappers #2) by Jana Oliver at one of the libraries today


message 1982: by ☼Bookish (new)

☼Bookish in Virginia☼  (ren_t) Don't beat me about the head and shoulders but I just couldn't get into WONDER. I think I just wasn't in the mood for another 'sensitive' book as I just finished The Fault in Our Stars which was amazing.

Took back the Beyonders book too. Instead read Ashfall and Green Heart both of which were very good. Currently reading Tony Abbott's new kid serie with my kids. The Battle Begins and When Monsters Escape. My YA read is The Eleventh Plague.

The Battle Begins (Underworlds, #1) by Tony Abbott When Monsters Escape (Underworlds, #2) by Tony Abbott The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch Green Heart (Green Angel, #1-2) by Alice Hoffman

Awesome, thanks for sharing! :) I'll have to run down to my Dollar Tree to see if they have these too.

The ya librarian laughed at me when she saw it in my hands. She said "why are you reading that crap?" I guess it wasn't her thing...lol! But, I've been craving good contemporary fiction, that's why I grabbed it. I hope it's good :)
