So, it's that time of the year again. The time when I have to put all of my holds on hold. I was starting to feel pressured to read both my review copies and my library books before they were due. And with Christmas coming up and a vacation out of town, I figured it was best to just do it now. It may be some time before I get to do another Library Loot post, since I've put them on hold until the end of January, in anticipation of my Cybils reading. So, here's (probably) the last for a while:
Bright Blue Miracle by Becca Wilhite
The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen
I also got some great treasures in the mail:
The Lost Saint by Bree Despain (yeah!)
The End of the World Club by J&P Voelkel
Invisible Things by Jenny Davidson
The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Muslim Women Reformers: Inspiring Voices Against Oppression by Ida Lichter
I won a signed copy of The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness from Jill at The O.W.L
What did you get?
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage

Ha ha, I always feel anxiety to finish my library books before Christmas because I know I'll be getting a bunch of new books and my library books won't get read after that. It's funny, that's a kind of anxiety specially reserved for book lovers.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you like The Knife of Never Letting Go! I thought it was one of the most innovative, unique YA in recent memory. I absolutely loved the characters, too.
I should probably do the same thing but I just can't seem to stay away from the library :) Enjoy all of those reads!!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I love that we have our own special anxiety! And I ADORED Knife of Never Letting Go (just finished Monsters of Men). It really is so different from anything else.
ReplyDeletesamantha, it is very hard to do - I've already checked out a few more than I meant too. :)
The Graveyard Book was one of my favorite reads last year; hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteCass, I've read it and I enjoyed it quite a bit - it's quite creepy!
