This one finally showed back up in US online stores, Yay! Love Lesley's work.

Sequel to The Thirteenth Child, which I have yet to read, but hubby loves this series!


Scored at Library Book Sale! $1 each! :
Where I Want to Be by Adele Griffin
I just read Tighter by Adele Griffin and loved it...can't wait to try more of her work.

Click
Nick Hornsby, Gregory MaGuire, and lots more contributed to this one. Couldn't pass it up!

This looks like an interesting series, still have to track down book 1 though!

    You scored! I liked Where I Want to Be a lot. It's not even my preferred genre, but it was so emotional and poignant. I hope you enjoy it :)

    It's great that you were sent Everblue to review! I've wanted to read that every since I saw it online ages ago.

    Also, I've heard wonderful things about the Thirteenth Tale. It's odd though, I keep adding it to my wishlist, then deleting it a few weeks later, like I can't fully commit to wanting it! Oh well, hope it works out better for you :)

    I LOVE library sales. They always have the best stuff on the cheap. I also love the pictures you take because I'm a snoop and I like checking out other people's bookshelves.

    Everblue has a gorgeous cover, there's been some really great things said about it. I've been dying to read it and can't wait to get my hands on a copy. I am also excited about Once Every Never, since I already have the first two books in that series and I need to get on the ball about reading them! lol.

    Great IMM, I'm totally following your super cute blog!

    I've got to get Once Every Never. I keep meaning to but never remember it which is a shame because I love the Wondrous Strange series. I really enjoyed Holding Still and the author is just amazing. Happy reading!
