Catherine Bruno | 771 comments Finished All the Crooked Saints. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I'm just not a huge fan of her books, except The Scorpio Races, that one was good. Started Eliza and Her Monsters and enjoying it so far.

So Jenny and Jen and I started a book advent calendar this year! :-D



Here's a picture of pretty much just the 1st week of books to open (2 of these a day!).

Today I opened The Cipher by John C. Ford and The Girl from Everywhere (The Girl from Everywhere, #1) by Heidi Heilig ! Day 1 was a definite success!! Woot woot!!

And then, because I apparently don't have enough books... ;)

I stopped by Barnes and Noble and found my signed copies of Artemis by Andy Weir and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline !! I was so happy to find they still had copies left!!

I also picked up Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp . I still need a Q for my A -Z challenge and I've been wanting to add this to my collection for such a long time!

Yeah I did plenty of bargain shopping. And we've been planning it all year long, so I would buy 6 or so books a month. Not too bad that way!

Yea, Oda. I started getting books in January. I also go to book events and get free ARCs or stop and buy books at the library. So it wasn't too expensive. Books on sale at Barnes and Noble, and use coupons, etc.

Thanks Karen! I am just loving it as well. You guys are nailing it with your book choices for me. I think this is working so well because we all know each other's reading tastes so well :) I wouldn't suggest doing this with someone you don't know well, unless you give them a list to pick from maybe!

Day 5



I got a really cute owl book charm from Karen, and this gorgeous book I'd never heard of! But I can't wait to read it, it looks really good!


message 8528: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments I went to a library book sale last weekend and they had a pile of free ARCs. Most of them were older ones but I did find The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1) by Holly Black and Nice Try, Jane Sinner by Lianne Oelke !


message 8529: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments I picked up some books for my students at the library bookstore the other day, most of them are middle grade books. However, I did find The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, and The Death Cure. Maybe I'll actually be able to read through that series now that I own the books.

Some really great looking reads! I've been wanting the Mists of Avalon for a long time! And Away is the sequel to The Line I got from Jen a few days ago! Really promising looking series!

Oh and the Hufflepuff edition of HP and the Sorcerer's Stone! I want to collect all the houses, so glad I got one finally!

Thanks so much Jen and Karen, you two know me well!

Day 5 of our Book Advent Calendar brought me Beowulf by Unknown in a stunning classic cover and The Secret Year by Jennifer R. Hubbard !

Day 6 was Time And Again by Jack Finney and Truthwitch (The Witchlands, #1) by Susan Dennard

Day 7 brought me The Technologists by Matthew Pearl and The River of No Return by Bee Ridgway

Day 8 was The Fearless by Emma Pass and The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness !

So many incredible books!!

I have to wait until Monday for the post office to deliver Day 9, 10 and 11. I think my mailman holds my boxes until he feels like delivering them. I see where they're out for delivery and it's another 2 days before he drops them off. Drives me crazy! But that's alright. Monday is going to be one heck of a bookhaul!! :-D
