I've been quite lucky with books this week.. it's been kind of a slow-down in books acquired via the book-swapping website AND charity shops, but the numbers were certainly made up in other ways...
Via book-swapping website:
Tempted by PC and Kristin Cast (not pictured)Big Mouth and Ugly Girl by Joyce Carol Oates
Girl With Curious Hair by David Foster Wallace
Divine by Mistake by PC Cast
Someone very nice on ReadItSwapIt offered to send me Girl With Curious Hair for free and turned down my offer of postage reimbursement or sending her one of my books in the future. It was very nice of her. It really made my day.
Via author/publisher/giveaways:
Swapped By A Kiss by Luisa PlajaAngel by LA Weatherley
I'm super excited about recieving Swapped By A Kiss! I read Luisa's other book, Split By A Kiss last week and ADORED it. An enormous thank you to Luisa Plaja for sending this to me! I heart you! I cannot wait to tell you all about both books.
And Angel has such a pretty cover.
Via charity shops:
The Edible Woman by Margaret AtwoodBluebeard's Egg by Margaret Atwood
The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid
I usually pick up more books in charity shops than this, but hey-ho. That's the way it goes.

The Onion Girl by Charles de LintExtreme Kissing by Luisa Plaja
Infinity by Sherilyn Kenyon
Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta

I only acquired one book this week, and I'm giving it away probably sometime in July - but it was a wonderful one! Monsters of Men! I loved it so much! You were absolutely right about how good it was. I cried at least four times when I was reading it.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! What a haul. These look delicious. I had some ARCs arrive at my house this week, but for the life of me I can't recall the titles. All YA stuff.
