The Moon Dwellers is really good (of course!), and I also liked the Burning Time. Its a great thriller, and reminded me a little of a cross between Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

Wow. I'm jealous! How many books did you end up with? You always seem to find such good deals. I'm on vaca for 2 weeks, so I plan to hopefully find time to check out the library sales and possibly get down to the Used Bookstore now that there isn't one close by.


message 985: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Wow Gabby! Any really good stuff in there? I hit my local Ollies (like a Big Lots but with a rockin' book section) and got these yesterday:

Looking for Alaska by John Green An Abundance of Katherines by John Green Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1) by Stephanie Perkins Lola and the Boy Next Door (Anna and the French Kiss, #2) by Stephanie Perkins Trouble  by Gary D. Schmidt If I Stay (If I Stay, #1) by Gayle Forman The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder Immortal City (Immortal City, #1) by Scott Speer Leviathan (Leviathan, #1) by Scott Westerfeld Behemoth (Leviathan, #2) by Scott Westerfeld Red Glove (Curse Workers, #2) by Holly Black Green The Beginning and the End (The Circle, #0) by Ted Dekker My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

All for around $37. Eight are hardbacks. I think it was a pretty good deal, all things considered -- and considering I seldom buy books!

I really loved Anna and also liked If I Stay and Red Glove (but I liked curse workers on audio because Jesse Eisenberg is awesome). Looks like a good haul!

I just finished Looking for Alaska, it was really good! One of my goals this year is to read all of John Green's books. I've read Fault in Our Stars and now Looking for Alaska. I also have Immortal City and Leviathan I need to read, so maybe we can read those together!

Amy (DemonKittie) (demonkittie) I just caved and bought Ice Country (The Country Saga, #2) by David Estes & Water & Storm Country (The Country Saga, #3) by David Estes for my Kindle. Now I have them all. Is it sad I bought a gift card mainly to buy this series?
