Young Adult Reader Club discussion

Yesterday, I got two new books:

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
The God Box by Alex Sanchez

I have purchased quite a few books recently. Yesterday I bought.

The adventures of Alice in Wonderland & Through the looking glass by Lewis Carroll

The forth installment of the Georgia Nicholson series by Louise Rennison

and the Last days by Scott Westerfeld

and the first book of the Dears manga

Then a couple days before that I bought

Thirteen reasons why and Wicked Lovely as well as

Ironside by Holly Black and

the 3rd installment of the Georgia Nicholson.

I went kind of crazy I know,but I found this great new and used book store near my new house and I LOVE it.

I've bought a lot of used books lately as well.

The other day I bought 1) The Reader by Bernhard Schlink, 2) Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud, 3) The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (which I am SO excited to read), and 4) The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

And a few weeks ago there was an annual used book sale at my local library where I picked up 1) Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, 2) My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok, 3) Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, and 4) The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin.

So...yeah. I totally go crazy once in a while! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Addie,

You will have to let me know what you think of "The Time Travelers Wife" I read it recently and have been wanting to chat with someone about it.

I seriously love buying books I get so excited when I come home with all these great finds!

The last books that I bought were Wake and Thirteen Reasons Why. I really loved that book. Glad I decided to buy it.

I'm still looking for good books out there, so if anybody finds a good one that I might like, please tell me? Thank you.

The last book I bought was Atonement, because I loved the movie. I have on order The Reader and will also be buying the Time Traveller's Wife when the Reader comes in. :)

I'm trying to expand my reading beyong YA. It is SO HARD! (Plus, university doesn't exactly look excited on YA for reading lists... :( )

You know Addie is my nickname :D

so it would be kind of embarrassing to tell someone who isn't an avid book reader but since you all are im not ashamed to tell you I have bought over $300 worth of used books in the last few weeks with graduation money. I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited for summer, so I can read them all

I know what you mean Michelle I have been buying so many books lately that I think only other people who are avid readers would understand. I can't help it,every time I walk into a book store or even a thrift store I can't help but walk out with at least a couple new treasures.

I'm really excited for summer through so I can get through all the new additions to my collection!

So I went a little crazy today,but oh well I found some really good deals (YAY for Memorial day sales!)

I bought

The Golden Compass,The Subtle Knife and the Amber Spyglass

then I bought Revolutionary Road,(I usually don't like to get the ones with the movie tie in covers,but that's all I could find so oh well)

Then I bought Coraline by Neil Gaiman and last but not least

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

So that was from just the bookstore I then went to the thrift store and bought about 13 other books,but how can you pass up books for 20 cents?

I just bought Watchmen by Alan Moore,An Abundance of Katherines by John Green and Wake by Lisa McMann

I just bought Ballads of Suburbia, Curse of the Blue Tattoo Being an Account of the Misadventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman and Fine Lady, and Under the Jolly Roger Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber with a gift card I got from my work buddies on my last day Thursday. :) I've read all the Bloody Jack books, now I'm collecting them!

The Laughing Corpse (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #2)Circus of the Damned (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #3)Wicked Lovelyand Speak so it is full speed ahead for the challenge :)

Instore or online, that is the question... last week I bought Strange Angels by Lili Saintcrow. I hardly do my book shopping outside of a webpage since book stores I have a hard time saying no to books. But today amazon shipped Immortal by Gillian Shields out my way.

Let's see what have I bought recently...I bought Ghost Huntress: The Awakening and The Devouring. Also, I got Resistance by Anita Shreve and The Time Traveller's Wife and that was just really recently. =]

I love Wake and I actually just recently finished Fade. Enjoy!

Yeah I'm really looking forward to reading it. I put it on my list for the challenge,plus I got a super good deal on it! YAY!

Okay I thought I would add some new books because I was at Target today and I just couldn't help myself. I bought The Eternal Kiss which is 13 vampire short stories and Dark Secrets by Elizabeth Chandler. =]

So I just got back from my favorite little bookstore and I bought Evermore by Alyson Noel, Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen, Just Another Day in My Insanely Real Life by Barbara Dee, Marked by P.C. Cast, My Big Nose & Other Natural Disasters bySydney Salter, Away Laughing on a Fast Camel Even More Confessions of Georgia Nicolson byLouise Rennison and Dune by Frank Herbert.

I also just got The Songbird In My Heart by Mark Steven Rhoads in the mail today from the First Reads Giveaway!

YAY new books!

My husband and I went to Borders last night and he bought me the entire House of Night series! I love having complete series on my bookshelf. We also bought The Hidden Staircase and Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo to donate to our local library. They were doing a drive at Borders while we were there.

I bought some more books off of Amazon yesterday:
Holes, Uglies, Living Dead in Dallas, Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale and Touch the Dark Looking forward to reading them all in the challenge.

Oohhhh I love Amazon! They are amazing!! :) I think I know what I am going to use my amazon gift card for... I really want to read the Inkheart series...

Linda, Oh me too it looks really good!

I am an amazon fiend lol, I buy books from there every week used and new. I love that I get so many recommendations on there too.

That's so awesome. I need to buy another bookshelf before I start ordering more books.

Yesterday at Target, I got two new books. "Mr. Darcy, Vampyre" by Amanda Grange and "Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity" by Kerry Cohen. They both look like really good books.

Oh, My, Goodness. Last night at 9:00 I purchased Catching Fire. By 7 am this morning I had read the entire book getting up only for bio breaks. If you have read The Hunger Games then you MUST go get the sequel! I know its only the second day its been out, so while i'm not surprised, im still frustrated that i have no one to talk to about it! please do yourself a favor and read this series!!!! sooo much to analyse and discuss!!

Okay so I went crazy this week with book buying. I got Not So Snow White, Love The One You're With, The Wish List, Every Boy's Got One, 13 Little Blue Envelopes, Fairest, All-American Girl, The Ashleys, Lirael, and Artemis Fowl. Oh and I got them all at thrift stores so I probably spent less than 20 dollars on them all. =]

I just got Catching Fire and it was an amazing read. This series is really good and fast paced. I loved every page of it!

The had a buy 2 get 1 free sale at my work so I bought

"Blue Moon" by Alyson Noel

"Prada and Prejudice" by Mandy Hubbard

and

"Impossible" by Nancy Werlin

I just bought Catching Fire yesterday. Hopefully I will get to read it soon. I am in the middle of 3 books right now.

That's funny----I'm about to buy Catching Fire....I bought The Hunger Games Thursday and I'm on the last 50 pages. I don't know what I'll do when I've consumed Catching Fire.

I also bought: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gargoyle or is it The Gargoyle? I haven't read it yet but its about a man (this is on the back flap of the jacket) who has an accident and is visited by a woman who scuplts gargoyles...

I love Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! I found it hilarious in a strangely twisted way :)
Catching Fire was amazing, I couldn't put it down.

I also recently bought Blood Promise by Richelle Mead, The Crowded Shadows by Celine Kiernan, Valiant : A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black, Strange Angels by Lili St.Crow, The Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko, That Which Bites by Celis T. Rono, Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan and The Hollow by Jessica Verday (:

Going shopping tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some more, I've read all but one of the above :S

I just got back from the bookstore and today I bought:

Going Bovine by Libba Bray

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

and

Fade by Lisa McMann

I bought Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath yesterday.

Awesome Linda,I really want to read that series!

Me too! I can't wait to read it. I feel like we should do another count down challenge. What do you think? I didn't read as much as I wanted and would like another shot! :)

Inkdeath? When did that come out? The last books I bought were Conan the Magnificent and a Star Trek (geeky) book from the library Saturday.

Inkdeath came out in Hardcover last year in October. I don't know if it is out in Paperback yet, I bought the Hardcover.

I bought Evermore, 1984, Claimed By Shadowand The Lunatic Cafe (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #4)

I have already started Evermore, was amazed because I bought them all off of Amazon used and new and this one turned up the next day!!!

Nice! I love it when things arrive early! :)

Yeah it was great, I want to try and finish it today because of the read for the month but I don't think I will.

I think I may have to start using my library card more though now because I need to save for Xmas lol

I always use my library card, I rarely buy books.

I bought "Looking for Alaska" by John Green

I'm so excited for our discussion of that book Hannah! You'll have to let us know what you think!

the house of night series (my mom bought it for me as a late christmas gift)

It was Old Magic by Marianne Curley, it's a secondhand book I bought from Sitta Karina :]
