My Week In Book Buying ~ Or~ What's Now in My Stacks

I didn't spend half this week in one book store or another, but I did spend most of the time there! I just felt I needed a refreshing of the stacks.  Just some books I had to have right now... Please, don't frown...

Seriously couldn't wait to get my hands on this one.  A woman with

chronic amnesia after an injury

 whose husband tells her who she is and

that she loves him.  She finds a note in her

diary to herself not to trust him...

OMGosh, I would be so freaked!

I was nothing short of sickened when I found out

that I hadn't received an early review copy

of my very favorite author's new book!

Joshilyn Jackson is a writer I live to read.

Simple as that.

Any words that come from her are like delicious green apples.

Note the cover of this book.

Had to own this newest in the dystopian

YA fiction variety for my library.

I'm actually in the middle of the ebook and it's a

not-to-be-missed read.

Cool  cover...lots of pages.

What's a year's read without Jodi?

I wait patiently for her next book wondering

if it's going to be controversial.

It nearly always is.

I love to be in the thick of things, gettin' down & dirty with Jodi. LOL

This one is starting out really well!

Okay.  Here's a "caught you with the cover" book,

and a "caught you with Meg Cabot" book, at the same time.

I've heard a good deal about Ms Cabot in YA circles,

and thought I would try her out with this one.

It's had such mixed reviews...

have to see what I think.

A "pollster" at the sidebar requested a review! Yay!!

I'll let you know!  vv

I loved Amy Hatvany's "Outside the Lines"

which I reviewed last month.

This one deals with a divorced mother who drinks

so much she leaves her small son alone one

night while she runs to the

liquor store...Her ex-husband comes by

and finds him there alone, and her subsequently drunk.

Amy Hatvany is a chillingly frank writer who can move you to serious tears.

Had to have this paperback.

Have you been waiting like I've been waiting for this one?

I had to have it.  Enough said.

These books found their way to my house somehow, as well:
