Beg, Borrow, and Steal (012)

October 12, 2011 at 6:56 PM (Beg Borrow & Steal) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

Well look who’s alive!  (Sort of.)  Hello everyone!  Let’s get back to blogging with a new 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. :)

It’s been a couple of weeks since my list BBS, but I think I’ve managed to get some nice books in that time.  Let’s see what we’ve got!

Begged:

Books I absolutely had to have and ones I found at good prices.

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson
I pre-ordered this in July when I first heard it would be a signed copy.
It felt like it took FOREVER to get here!
Look at the cool #YAsaves swag they packed with it!
AUGH so excited!

Borrowed:

Checked out from the library.

Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake
I have been waiting for this for SO LONG.
Seriously, I ordered it from the library months and months ago!
So glad it finally came. :D

Steals:

Books I snagged for free.

Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Turn Coat by Jim Butcher

I got these books from a free book pile at the hospital.
I’ve watched a few episodes of the Dresden Files TV series, and they were cool.
I’m really looking forward to reading Storm Front!

Well, that’s it for now.  Thanks for stopping by!

Stay tuned for my review of Bridger by Megan Curd tomorrow, along with a giveaway!

And watch out later this month for a 200 Subscriber giveaway!
