Books I just got in the mail/bought/checked out
I went a little crazy at Hasting's the other day. Okay, not that crazy since they were all used copies and they were running a sale on top of that, but still.
Spent about 51 dollars at Half Priced Books yesterday night. I'm happy with what i found. c:
Not all of mine are YA, sorry!

from Books-A-Million. I also hit up the used bookstore last night and purchased a plethora of Baby-sitters Club and Nancy Drew books. I'm attempting to re-create my childhood collection that got lost over the years.

Got
and
from the library. I'm loving Heir to Sevenwaters. I just love this series :)
In the mail I got The stand Uncut edition in hardcover, IT in hardcover and Pet Sematary in hardcover. Stephen king is my fave writer. Then at Goodwill I bought Insomnia by King and Double Cross by James Patterson.
The books I recently brought are:
trying hard to restrict my book buying at the moment but I've been debating about getting the hard cover of:
as I have the other two books in this series in Hard cover I have this one in Paper back and for some reason... it's irritating me that it's not in hardback.
I love Amazon free books, so in the last several weeks I've been getting books like crazy. Here are some/quite a few of the ones I bought. Both novellas and novels.
That's not even all of them. hehe I get e-mails from eReaderIQ.com, which is how I get most all of the books in this list.
OK so. My library had a trade and take table. So you can trade some books and get some books.I traded Insomnia, The Stand, and IT in paper (I got the hardback copies of those books yesterday) and took Four past midnight, Carrie (original movie novelization) and Lisey's Story. All King. Later I'll check the table again.

. For me, it gives the THE STAND, which has long been my favorite King, a real run for its money. Zipped through it in no time and totally loved it!

I liked WITHER a lot when I read it last year. However, FEVER, the 2nd in the trilogy was pretty bad.

Melodie wrote: Hope you love SHIVER as much as I did!!"Well I read it and I really loved Shiver! Maggie's writing didn't let me down at all (which I fell for with Scorpio Races and why I decided to pick up Shiver).

Oh, good!! I loved SHIVER so much and am always happy to see someone else enjoy it, too. The ending made me cry and books NEVER do that to me!
I just finisherd reading Mexican WhiteBoy by Matt de la Pena. I liked it so much that I picked up the rest of his novels.I am currently reading WHITE HORSE by Alex Adams...and loving it!
Once I'm done White Horse, I'm going to devour the rest of de la Pena's books!
I bought all these three when they came out on the 1st.

I'm fairly certain there is a publishing conspiracy to make me poor by releasing series I read all on the same day!
