I'm finally home from vacation (it's been quite a while since I wasn't living out of a suitcase, or at least it feels like it)! Today is my first day back in my own library and I feel both happy and sad about it. Going back to work is so hard, no matter where you work, I think. Anywho, I'm also back in my local public libraries and checking things out again! I really didn't get nearly enough of my review copies read to justify this, but I had a few books on hold that I simply don't want to wait for. So, here they are:
The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater (yes, I'm probably the last to read this)
Only the Good Spy Young by Ally Carter
And the books really piled up while I was gone (ok, not really, but I was pretty excited about them all the same...)
Matched by Ally Condie (I've really been dying to get my hands on this, so I was super excited that it came for me)
It's a Book by Lane Smith
The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan
The Heir of Night by Helen Lowe
And, though I didn't get to visit any amazing bookstores while I was vacationing, I did stop by a for charity book sale and pick up a few books:
Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss
The Field Guide by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
And this list would not be complete without this delight, which I purchased (of course):
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
and which I just finished and am currently trying to figure out my reaction to. I loved getting to hash out some thoughts and read others' over at Natasha's spoiler-ridden discussion of it.
What did you get this week?
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage
