Library Haul - May 23rd

I ran to the library for the first time in a month and picked up a couple of books.  At least one of them will be discussed at BEA, so I need to read them before next Wednesday.  Which means I'll be taking them with me on the retreat this weekend, along with Under the Never Sky (unless I finish that tonight).

This week's Library Haul:

• Insurgent by Veronica Roth
• Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
• The Reluctant Assassin by Eoin Colfer

Library Haul - March 8th

Being sick absolutely stinks.  It throws your whole life out of order.  Blogging, reading, writing - all of it takes a back seat when you're not feeling well.

Which is why this post will be short and sweet.

This Week's Library Haul

• Jane by April Lindner
• Cloaked by Alex Flinn

Library Haul - March 1st

I told myself that I would be good this week, and I wouldn't borrow any more books until I finished the ones I got last time and the ones I just got in the mail.  But then my sister and I took our weekly visit to the library, and I caved into temptation.  Fortunately I had enough self-discipline to only get two books, even though my library just got a ton of new books that are all on my TBR list.

So once I finish my original library books - Pure by Julianna Baggott and The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater - and my new books from Amazon - The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, and Pantomime by Laura Lam - I will be starting on these next two books:

This week's Library Haul

• The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
• The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan

Library Haul - February 15th

Recently, I started going back to my local library.  In the past, I usually just bought the books I wanted or thought looked interesting, simply because my library is very small and doesn't have a huge selection.  And even though they have a county-wide sharing program with other libraries, I still can't get my hands on a lot of books.

But now a new dilemma is preventing me from continuing my book-buying ways - a decided lack of money.  I'm not even willing to buy myself new clothes, despite the fact that all my current clothes are too big.

So back to the library I go.  Last night, I took my Valentine's "date", my little sister, to the library (before going home to bake cupcakes and read The Return of the King aloud), because she loves to read as much as I do.  She even reads super-fast like I do, so I'm sure she'll be coming with me on my next trip to the library too.  While I was there, I picked up four books that I'm definitely looking forward to, and which inspired me to start a new feature - the Library Haul.

This week's Library Haul:

• A Confusion of Princes by Garth Nix
• Pure by Julianna Baggott
• The Scorpio Races by Maggie Steifvater
• Promised by Caragh M. O'Brien (which means I'd better hurry up and start Prized)
