Does it seem like every other day you have a new hold at the library? I would almost get annoyed that as soon as I pick up one (or two or three or...) there is another one that just came in, except that I get so excited when I look at what I've got! I even get a thrill out of the automated messages that the library leaves on my phone (with multiple slightly scary voices). Here's what came in for me:
The 39 Clues Book 5: The Black Circle
by Patrick Carman
Daughter of the Forest
by Juliet Marillier
Flygirl
by Sherri L. Smith
The Help
by Kathryn Stockett
The Ruby in the Smoke
by Philip Pullman
Dreamdark: Silksinger
by Laini Taylor
Willow
by Julia Hoban
The Demon King
by Cinda Williams Chima
The Stolen One
by Suzanne Crowley
I also got two books for review:
Fallen
by Lauren Kate
Invisible Lines
by Mary Amato
What did you get?
If you buy through my Amazon linkage,
I will get a very small percentage
I know EXACTLY what you mean! LOL. Funny enough, FALLEN is one of the books I'm waiting for. It looks SO good.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a list! I got Fallen too, and can't wait. I think I'm bumping it to the front.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up "Sea Glass" (the library finally got one - yay!). What I want to know is are you really able to read all those books before they're due? :-)
ReplyDeleteYea Sea Glass!! :D
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list!
I need to read Tears of Pearl, since I won't be able to renew it... And I have all of Shannon Hale's Bayern books out... and lots of others...
lol @ your holds experience! I hate it when I just miss a hold I'm really looking forward to! I don't get phone calls, though-I signed up for e-mails sintead. :) I just reread Daughter of the Forest this summer and enjoyed it as much as the first time around! And Flygirl looks so good-I had it out earlier this year but didn't get to it in time.
ReplyDeleteI don't get any notifications, but I am on the library website at least once a day checking what has come in for me.
ReplyDeleteYou have some interesting looking books in your loot! I really need to read Juliet Marillier and I would like to read The Stolen One too!
This is the second mention in this week's Library Loot of The Help!
Susan and Suey, I am looking forward to Fallen as well - so excited when it came!
ReplyDeleteGayle, so glad you got Sea Glass - I'm very excited. The only way I can manage it really is because one of my libraries allows three weeks and then one renewal for another three weeks. I definitely can (usually) manage to read them in six weeks :)
Britt, I haven't heard of Tears of Pearl. I'll have to watch for your review.
Eva, I get emails in addition to the phone calls! They really want me to come get the books.
Marg, I don't know how I'd do it all without some reminders. In fact, I just dropped the ball on two holds that came in and I didn't get there in time. I was really sad :(
I got The Maze Runner. It is good, and frustrating, and suspenseful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAmy, ha! That is just how I felt about it too!
