Beg, Borrow, and Steal (021)
Hey all! I’ve actually had quite a few books come my way since my last post, and I’ve also made a pact with myself to buy less books this year, so I’ll be doing my latest BBS post in installments. We’ll call this one my Beg, Borrow, & Steal: Ebook Edition!
These posts are my take on the In My Mailbox meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. Just a way to showcase the books in my life, because not all of them will be reviewed. 
Gotta say I love it when people blog about getting good ebook deals. Even though I get sad I can’t participate in the Kindle deals, I still manage to find Barnes & Noble deals. So it all works out! 
Here are my shiny new ebooks!

Hey all! Welcome to this week’s Beg, Borrow, & Steal post.
These posts are my take on the In My Mailbox meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. Just a way to showcase the books in my life, because not all of them will be reviewed.
Haven’t made a BBS post in some time, but don’t worry, I’ve still been keeping an eye out for books. I came upon a goldmine when the library was looking to discard a bunch of teen books in order to make more room on the shelves. I of course had to swoop in and save all of these treasures. I know I have enough books as it is, but who can resist the chance to add to one’s personal library for free?
Here’s what I acquired since my last post:
Begged:

Books I absolutely had to buy.
Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
SIGNED!
Went to a reading event tonight where Laini was so gracious to sign two copies!
That’s right, I’m saving one for you guys! Thanks Barnes & Noble in HB for hosting!
I read a few chapters while I was waiting for the reading to start, and this book is so good!
Really, really happy I found out about it at the last minute via Twitter and managed to go!
Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor
When I saw that this was a National Book Award Finalist, I had to have it.
Added bonus when I was going to get books signed anyway!
Can’t wait to dig into this one!
Borrowed
Book borrowed from the library.
Help for Writers by Roy Peter Clark
My coworker saw this book and gave it to me for perusal.
It’s a great aid for helping writers get their lives together so they can focus on writing.
Steals
Free swag from an event.
The Barnes and Noble people at tonight’s Laini Taylor reading were handing out masks…
So I grabbed one! I love how it matches the cover, and it’s pretty good quality.
They gave me the tattoos when I went to get the book signed.
I love literary swag!
Well, that’s it for this week!
