Note to self: don't go this long without some kind of library loot/acquisitions post. Seriously.

What a fantastic list! My IMM post is going to be huge too because I haven't done one since early December.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Across the Universe. I got Wither last week and just picked up Ship Breaker at the library after it won the Printz.
Can't wait to see what you think of Dragonbreath ... I read "Ninja" for Cybils and it beat my expectations. I've got a Tale dark and Grimm. Tell me more about Th Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie ... can't say I've heard about that (blushing as she confesses this!)
ReplyDeleteChristina, I kinda liked doing the bigger post, though I am sure I forgot one or two...
ReplyDeleteTerry, I'm reading Ninja for Cybils as well, thanks for passing it on! Sweetness is an adult mystery book (no worries about not hearing about it if most of what you read is childrens!) I love it mostly for the quirky main character, Flavia, who has the funniest and most charming views of life. If you get a chance, you should check it out!
Great list! I, too, love The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, especially ruthless Flavia.
ReplyDeleteKate, I love her war with her sisters - it reminds me of growing up with my sisters :)
