Got 2 for review and a ton of great stuff at the local library book sale!!! I love those. It never ceases to amaze me that the books I get are all withdrawn library book, but once you take the plastic cover off, they look brand new like no one's ever even cracked them open!
For Review:

I've heard mixed reviews for this one, but as a vintage dress collector, I am absolutely in love with the beautiful illustrations of vintage ensembles inside. I hope I love the story as well!!
Supernaturally by Kiersten White (!!!)
And here we have my happy dance book of the week! SO excited to get this one, loved, loved, loved the first book!!

~Aside from Audrey, Wait, Silver Phoenix, and Fire (all of which I'm super excited to have found for a $1!) , I haven't heard of many of these wonderful goodies I found at the book sale. I picked them up because, by the description on the jacket flap, they all sounded really great! Have you read any of them? Recommend them? I wanna know!
~I get so many books at library book sales for such a great deal (I paid $9 bucks for this whole haul), and I'll love to share them once I've read them. They are literally like new, including the covers, except for a discard stamp and barcode right on the first blank cover page. So my second question is this---would you want to see these in a giveaway? Or find them acceptable in a trade? I would disclose that they were ex-library books, of course!
Hope everyone has a great week!
Hope everyone has a great week!

definitely acceptable in a giveaway or trade. the only one i've read is Serendipity market, there's a review on my blog but I didn't enjoy it... hopefully you do though! i have heard a lot of positive reviews it just wasn't for me as I found it kinda boring.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books you haven't heard of, but I'm a huge fan of Audrey, Wait! Hope you enjoy all your finds!
