Beg, Borrow, and Steal (004)
I woke up at a ridiculous hour this morning and the first thing I did was sit down to write this post… I think I’m a little obsessed with this blog. (Yikes.) Anyway, since it’s Wednesday, it’s Beg, Borrow, and Steal time! This is my take on the In My Mailbox meme set up by Kristi over at The Story Siren. Let’s to see what bookstuffs I came to posses in the past week! Enjoy!
Begged:
Books I got for really good deals!
Kissed by an Angel trilogy by Elizabeth Chandler
I saw the cover for Evercrossed earlier this year, and the whole series went on my to-read list.
I was able to snag this because I participated in my library’s summer reading program! (Nudge.)
Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergren
Downloaded for free! Thanks to A Book Vacation for the heads-up on the deal.
Borrowed:
Copies checked out of different libraries.
Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore
Very excited to read this!
Wildcat Fireflies by Amber Kizer
The anticipated sequel!
Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz
My Soul To Take by Rachel Vincent
I saw it on the shelving cart and grabbed it for my own. 
I am an evil library page…
Steals:
Prizes, ARCs, and swag.
Enclave by Ann Aguirre
Signed! Thanks to Kristin at My Bookish Ways for the giveaway, and Ms. Aguirre for sending it!
Swag and things from San Diego Comic Con! Thanks so much to my friend Lexie!
Featuring Clockwork Prince (Cassandra Clare) sampler, Forgotten (Cat Patrick) sampler,
Ace/Roc and DAW samplers, Night Circus and Inheritance Cycle posters, pins,
and the following books…
Dead Mann Walking by Stefan Petrucha
Release Date: October 4, 2011
Don’t usually read zombie books, but this zombie protagonist sounds pretty cool!
Machine Man by Max Berry
Release Date: August 9, 2011
Resistance by William C. Dietz
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Release Date: November 15, 2011
Cannot WAIT to tear into this!
Extras by Scott Westerfeld
Signed! With pretty cover! SO HAPPY!
Thanks again, Lexie!!!
So… I’ve just noticed that the blog has reached 100 subscribers some time during the Summer Giveaway Hop. Woohoo! Thanks everyone! I would celebrate with a giveaway, but I already have two going on right now 
… but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for later this month. 
I was planning some things anyway, so… Yes.

I’m really happy about getting Enclave. Usually I’m not as enthusiastic about reading dystopian stories, but after hearing about the story and characters, I’m excited to find some time to sit down and read it!

Thanks! Shatter Me was a surprise. (A very pleasant one.) I may have screamed at my friend when I found it in the bag of swag she gave me. Oops!

What a great collection of books. I had no idea they had so many ARCs available at Comic Con these days. Every year I hear about it, it just sounds bigger and wilder and crazier, than ever before.
I love your “Begged, Borrowed, Steals” line-up. That is hilarious. I really liked Enclave. I wasn’t going to read it, until I saw the book trailer.
I’m kind of torn on the new book covers for the Pretties series. I like the cover for Extras, but the others seem kind of “meh” to me. Plus, I like all my covers to match!

I didn’t realize there was so much literary swag at Comic Con until this year, either! It does seem to get more insane every year, but I hope I can afford to go some time in the future.
Haha, I’m glad you like the theme. It just seemed to fit my desperation to acquire books… I was on the fence about reading Enclave myself, but the more I heard about it, the cooler it seemed.
I really like the old Uglies covers, but the new covers are okay. Since I have this copy of Extras, I definitely need to find others for a matching set. (I am a little obsessive about having matching series books…)
