Jamie's Book Haul




For Review:

Asunder by Jodi Meadows (Out January 2013)

Shadows in the Silence by Courtney Allison Moulton (Out January 2013)
The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd (Out January 2013)

I also got a back of Middle Grade titles from HarperCollins but I left the package at my sister's house so I can't recall what was in there!


Bought:

Again, I didn't buy much this week because I have a TON of book events coming up this week or so.. so I'll be buying lots of books and since I no longer have a job...I have to curb my buying habits and reserve it for Special Things.

Geek Love by Katherine Dunn -- Got it real cheap at the used book store  near me! I am so happy we discovered this place nearby our new apartment.  I'll have to do a post about it!

Our Broke & Bookish book haul is inspired by memes like IMM & Stacking the Shelves & Mailbox Monday. This is just our very simple way of doing it collaboratively so we can participate in all of them and not have to choose one.

  3. Yay for Origin!! :) I can't wait to read that one!

    Kelly, I just got a relief position AT the library. I already take out piles of books -- what's going to happen when I'm working there? It'll be AWESOME!

    Happy reading, ladies!

    1. Crazy is right! I both loved and hated the ending. So emotional!

  7. Daisy, I just bought Storm this week. I read it, and it was fun! I hope you enjoy it. I definitely want to read the sequel, Spark.

    Kelly, I kind of wish TMI ended after book three, too. But a teen at the library where I work, says the City of Lost Souls is amazing, so I need to read it. I did read CoFA, and liked it, but didn't love it. That is why I haven't gotten CoLS, yet, butI do plan on reading it.

    Have fun reading! :)

    1. After finishing it, I feel the same about CoFA. It was still good, but just okay. I still plan on reading the next one as soon as possible (cliffhangers!!!).

  9. Oh my gosh I'm so excited for The Madman's Daughter!! Like, seriously, I can't even wait! I'm hoping to get a copy in soon. ;) Brides of Rollrock Island was incredible, and I can't wait for so many others on these lists! What awesome finds! :D
