Beg, Borrow, and Steal (017)

Hi all!  Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate!  Happy day to you equally wonderful people who do not.  :)   Time for a thanksgiving Beg, Borrow, & Steal!

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. :)

Well, this post fits with the spirit of giving and thanks!  No books begged for or bought (but we’ll see what happens tomorrow!).

Let’s see what my gravitational pull of bookishness managed to snag…

Borrowed

From the library.

Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon
The Children’s Librarian at work read this and said she liked it.
I have a copy of Life Eternal, so I thought I’d give it a try!

Steals

Many thanks to The Children’s Librarian and my professor!

Avalon High by Meg Cabot
Playing with King Arthur mythos?  Yes, please!
The Children’s Librarian had an extra copy, so she let me take it. :D

Breath of Angel by Karyn Henley
I’ve never heard of this book but I do like angels and I am really intrigued.
Received from TCL.

Legend by Marie Lu
Absolutely love the cover.
Have seen this book around the blogs, and am glad to have grabbed a copy.
Thanks to TCL for letting me grab this ARC!

Huntress by Malinda Lo
SO EXCITED to have this ARC.
Badass chick on cover?  Hells yeah!
I have Ash and have been wanting to read it.  Now I have both books and no excuses!
(Well, after I finish with classes I’ll have no excuses.)
Many, many thanks to my professor for giving me this beautiful book!

Beg, Borrow, and Steal (007)

Hey everyone!  Sorry for not posting so much, yet again, this week.  Still lots of stuff going on at home.  This is one exhausted Library Page.  =\  But I am taking a well-deserved break as you can see from the Back to the Books Giveaway and now this edition of Beg, Borrow, & Steal!

If you’re just joining us, these posts are my take on the In My Mailbox meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren.  This week I’m going to try a new thing where I link to the Goodreads pages of the books so you all can find information easier.  :)

Here’s what I’ve recently acquired!

Begged:

Bought at killer good price.

Remembrance by Michelle Madow
I love reincarnation stories A LOT so I just had to grab this.
You should too!  Ebook’s only 99 cents from Smashwords, Amazon, and B&N right now!

Borrowed:

From a library.

Abandon by Meg Cabot
I’ve been feeling down lately because of home things
but I saw this at work and I felt better grabbing it up. :)
It’s a mythology story… ♥
Ugh, my weakness! My wonderful, wonderful weakness!

Steals:
