Beg, Borrow, and Steal (006)
Hello all! Time for another Beg, Borrow, and Steal post! If you’re just joining us, this is my take on the In My Mailbox meme graciously hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. I am making up for last week as well, and in that time happened to receive a lot of ebooks for review. Let’s get to it and see what all I acquired!
Begged:
Books and ebooks found at great prices.
Would you believe these were at Borders waiting for homes? I jumped all over that!
Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready
I got caught up in the YA Crush Tourney… and I now own this book…
Spells by Aprilynne Pike
Wither by Lauren Destefano
I have wanted this book since I first saw the cover…
Red Glove by Holly Black
Love White Cat so far!
These three are sitting happy on my Nook. 
Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
Guardian Cats and the Lost Books of Alexandria by Rahma Krambo
Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
Borrowed:
Books checked out of different libraries.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
I kept hearing about Lola and Anna so I broke down and got Anna!
Between by Jessica Warman
Steals:
Received via LibraryThing’s Member Giveaways and Early Reviewers program for review.
Children of the Elementi by Ceri Clark
The Schliemann Legacy by D.A. Graystone
Dirty Little Angels by Chris Tusa
Artemis Rising by Cheri Lasota
Fast-Tracked by Tracy Rozzlynn
Rippler by Cidney Swanson
Symphony of Blood, A Hank Mondale Supernatural Case by Adam Pepper
Shrinkage by Luke Young
Envy by Gregg Olsen
Just came out this week. Rather interesting read.
You never know with LibraryThing… I was surprised to get so many!
I am looking forward to reading and reviewing ALL THE THINGS.
While I’m busy calming the waters here at home so I can read and write again,
head on over to my 100/300 Follower Giveaway if you haven’t already!
Thanks for stopping by!

It totally is! Finding these books was like finding gold to me. I think I squealed a little when I picked up Wither in the wrong spot at the store…

Delighted to be stolen! Drop me a line when you get to Rippler. I love hearing from readers.
Many happy reads,

Oh you have some great books this week! I want a few of them for sure! I am going to miss Borders so much

The Borders closing makes me sad. I try to console myself by buying books, but then I remember this is the last time I’ll be here, in this physical place, ogling book covers… Sigh.

Rippler and Artemis rising both sound good. Anna was the right choice! (I didn’t like Lola’s book as much.) Have a great week!

Haha thanks for stopping by! So jazzed about all of my LibraryThing haul!
I read a couple of pages of Anna and even though it’s not my usual type of story… I like it. I think we’ll do great things together.

Awesome books! Envy looks pretty interesting, and Anna and the French kiss is on my list… Enjoy them all! : )

I was so tempted to buy Anna from Borders, but I had to restrain myself. Money is really tight lately, especially with school starting up again. Le sigh!
Oh well, I still have a chance to read it at least!
Thanks!

I just googled reviews on my book and your blog popped up! Thrilled you snagged Artemis Rising and I look forward to your review, for sure.
I might need to add the other books you mentioned to my to-read pile. They all look intriguing. Beautiful book covers too!
