Library Lack of Loot



So, I've really cut back now. I even didn't pick up one book that was on hold for me at a library - on purpose!

I only checked out THREE books in the last two weeks! I think that must be a record. I'm down to about 11 books checked out right now. Here are the three:

Heart's Bloodby Juliet Marillier
Prophecy of the Sistersby Michelle Zink
Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deceptionby Maggie Stiefvater

But, suddenly, as if they knew my library books were dwindling, all of these books came in the mail for me. I suppose I should post this more as an In My Mailbox (hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren):

I won a set of Hachette books during Dewey's Read-a-Thon:
What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventuresby Malcolm Gladwell
A Change in Altitude: A Novelby Anita Shreve
How to Roast a Lamb: New Greek Classic Cookingby Michael Psilakis
Norman Rockwell: Behind the Cameraby Ron Schick
Nine Dragonsby Michael Connelly

I also won:
Rampantby Diana Peterfreund from The Book Studio
Fire by Kristin Cashore from Alyce of At Home With Books

And for review:
Lockdownby Walter Dean Myers
The Ghost, the Eggheads, and Babe Ruth's Piano: A Novelby Larry Sweitzer

I guess that means I haven't really slowed down. I have plenty to read :)

If you buy through my Amazon linkage,
I will get a very small percentage

  2. I can't wait to see how you like Fire. I have Graceling on reserve at the library right now and I am very excited to read both of them!

  4. Amused, actually I'm kind of shocked. I don't usually have a lot of luck, but I've been swimming in it recently!

    reviewsbylola, I actually already read Fire (here's my review) and enjoyed it! I'm hope you like them too.

    Alyce, thank you again!
