Hey there, nice to have you back on my blog once again. This post is going to be terribly short because I am still under book-buying-restrictions (notice the absence of the word 'ban' because I can't stick to it anyway, one session of buying books equals one session at the therapist - not that I have one) and haven't done much reading either.
New On The Shelves
Bought:
Overbite by Meg Cabot
This is the sequel to Insatiable which, I have to admit, I haven't read yet. However, I am a collector therefore I had to pick it up when I saw at the book shop (even though it wasn't on my shopping list - that compulsion to buy is terrible, maybe I should see a therapist^^).
Dead Poets Society by N.H. Kleinbaum
I really, really adored the movie with Robin Williams, I think that was my first brush with the serious kind of coming-off-age stories. I loved the way in which Keating taught his boys to open their minds to the beauty of words. And since this book was written after the movie was made I hope very much that I'm going to love it as much as the movie.

The Prophet by Amanda Stevens: It was great. This is the third part of the series and it is still getting better. While some arcs of the plot finally find their conclusions, Stevens introduced enough noteworthy details to carry into book four, which she is working on at the moment. Especially noteworthy are the person Amelia met in the Gray and a mentioned price she will have to pay for a bargain she struck at the end of this book. Can't wait for #4!
Shelfability: Acquire.
Review coming soon.

I read Dead Poet's Society in English class back in school. Really liked it (and the movie as well). :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to read Insatiable & Overbite soon - haven't read them, but heard good things about them. :)
Have a lovely week!

I haven't read Insatiable yet, but I'm excited to see what you think of the series! I love Meg Cabot so it'll be interesting to read something paranormal by her!
ReplyDeleteI loved Dead Poets Society it was such a good movie. I'm rubbish at sticking to book buying bans too.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who buys sequels before they've read the first---it's bad, I have all four Iron Fey books and I have read the first one.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy these!!
Oh Meg Cabot! I love that cover. I'm gonna have to take a look at the first book. Great haul!
