Bought:
- The Divorce Express, Paula Danziger (eBay)
- Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice? Paula Danziger (eBay)
- This Place has no Atmosphere, Paula Danziger (eBay). These three books I read when I was about 13 and I remember liking them a lot. This last one is about a girl and her family who go to live on the moon. It's one for my sci-fi for girls unofficial challenge.
- Academy 7, Anne Osterlund (Book Depository). I bought this after I saw Tamora Pierce raving about it on Goodreads. It's set in space too!
- A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle (eBay).
Library:
These are all reborrows, books that I got out last year that I never got too but just have to read. I want to get most of my 2009 reading before I turn in earnest to 2010 books.
- Shadowed Summer, Saundra Mitchell. I really liked this one. Review here. I made beans and rice in honour of this book last night (it being a Creole Louisiana dish, and Louisiana is the setting) and it was so yummy! Definitely be making it again.
- The Dead and the Gone, Susan Beth Pfeffer.
- Swoon, Nina Malkin. I'm reading this right now and it's a very unusual book. I have to say I'm really liking it so far--lust and jealousy and ghosts that look like Taylor Lautner. Malkin writes it so well!
It's so hot here, the air-con is on and I'm cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast. I know, hardly hot weather food, but I am STARVING. Happy Caturday!
bacon and eggs are my FAVOURITE weekend brekkie. Nice loot, foo.
ReplyDeleteps. I am going to save the 'document' you sent me a while back as a separate one, cos I'm typing all over it before I send it back.
Yay! I look forward to it :D I'm pretty stoked about this loot too. All good uns!
ReplyDeleteI miss those days when I had lots of time to read and read and read. Enjoy the books, good lady!
ReplyDelete(It's still Friday here, though. Happy Friday night!)
Great books you got this week. I read Swoon last year and it's quite a good book. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
ReplyDeleteOH! Academy 7. Love! I can't wait to see what you think of it...
ReplyDeleteI loved Pfeffer's Life As We Knew It. It took my breath away and made me read until wee hours. I'll be interested to hear if you think The Dead and the Gone is as riveting.
ReplyDeleteA Wrinkle in Time...great book, one of the first scifis I've read. Hope you enjoy all your reads and can't wait to hear what you think :)
ReplyDeleteCelia--Have you read it? I've heard such good things!
ReplyDeleteTricia--So good, wasn't it. So SO good.
Dannie--I can't wait to read Wrinkle :D
You're enjoying Swoon? I seriously do not get what is to like about that book... Anyway, I think Academy 7 looks fab too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYAY, I told you Swoon was a really interesting book....it's got such an unusual storyline and Malkin is such an exceptional writer!!!! need to finish it myself, hope you end up loving it :-) fab books!
ReplyDeleteI seriously like everything about the books you got this week. I've been thinking of rereading more Paula Danziger myself. I'm definitely torn about Swoon (bloggers whose tastes I trust seem to differ widely on it!) so I'll be intrigued (and possibly more confused) to hear what you think when you're done with it.
ReplyDeleteBecky--Yep, I'm loving it! Can see why others don't though. Dice is kinda wicked and SO selfish.
ReplyDeleteLovesSam--Interesting is definitely the word!
Lauren--Paula Danziger rocks my middle grade socks. I'm almost finished Swoon, too.
Have fun reading the books you got. Cant wait for your review on Academy 7! :)
ReplyDeleteI have Academy 7, it looks great! Enjoy your books!!
ReplyDeleteAcademy 7 looks good - have to find me that one :)

ReplyDeleteGreat books! I have Academy 7 and have been meaning to read it for such a long time. Hmm, maybe I shall read it soon. Anyway, happy reading!
