Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire - This author has a lot of positive buzz and the library bought the entire series. I happened to notice when I was searching for something else and quickly got my name in.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs - This is one of the books the library bought because I asked them to. I think it looks great and lots of people that I trust have enjoyed it.
Resistance: A Woman's Journal of Struggle and Defiance in Occupied France by Agnes Humbert - Sassymonkey told me to! (Anna and Ana, this sounds like something you two would like, too.)
Eon: Dragoeye Reborn by Alison Goodman - I have had this book out before...
Holding Still For As Long As Possible by Zoe Whittall - This author is on my list to read and this book sounds interesting. I also saw a review recently....
A Stir of Bones by Nina Kiriki Hoffman - I am thinking maybe Eva?
Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol - Another book that the library bought because I asked. It sounds really good, but with the exception of Fables I don't buy graphic novels.
Sweet Tooth: In Captivity by Jeff Lemire - Another book bought because I asked. I read the first book and now there are three, but the library stopped buying at book 1. I think I will have to ask them to buy book 3 next.
As I was reading your post and saw Resistance, I thought, "Hey, that sounds good" and then I saw you mention that I'd like it. Great minds think alike. :) Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Miss Peregrine! I'm on the wait list for it, but I think I'm still something like #30. A lot of people got there before me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you brought home some great reads!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you got a great haul in books from the library! I especially want to read Rosemary and Rue especially after I loved Feed by the same author (different name) so much. Hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of Miss Peregrine (I've seen several good reviews of it I think) and Resistance which is probably right up my street too. Enjoy your loot! :-)
ReplyDeleteA Stir of Bones by Nina Kiriki Hoffman wasn't me, but I love that title! I'm like #86 or something ridic on my library's holdlist for Miss Peregrin, heehee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice library. I hadn't thought about requesting the library GET books that I want. They probably even have a formal way to request this. I'll have to go look...
ReplyDelete**Anna: Now that I have read it, I know you will like it. I really review it one of these days.
ReplyDelete**Memory: Miss Peregrine was good. I enjoyed the inclusion of the pictures.
**Staci: I did so far!
**Samantha: I really want to read Rosemary and Rue and have been carrying it around with me, but it means starting yet another series...
**Cath: I think you would like Resistance, yes, and Miss Peregrine is perfect for RIP.
**Eva: hm, now I have no idea where I heard of A Stir of Bones from...
**Care: I don't do it a lot. Just when I really want to read something, don't have much book spending money, and they don't have it...
