Beg, Borrow, and Steal (014)
Hi everyone, welcome to this week’s 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. 
This week’s batch is small, but I’m VERY excited about it. Let’s see why…
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!
Thanks for stopping by!

Beg, Borrow, and Steal (008)
Hello everyone! Beg, Borrow, & Steal time again.
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. It’s just a look at the books and book-related materials that come into my possession every week.
I’ve been wondering if I’ll have to change the day when I do these posts because I’ll have class on Wednesdays when school starts up. Hmm.. but I so enjoy these. They get me through hump day. We’ll see what happens. 
All right, here are the books I acquired in the past week!
Begged:
Books I bought on sale!
In the Arms of Stone Angels by Jordan Dane
Personal Demons by Lisa Desrochers
Since I like angels, I had to add this to my collection!
Original Sin by Lisa Desrochers
This too!
Chime by Franny Billingsley
The premise hits my awesome button, and the cover is beautiful too.
Hereafter by Tara Hudson
Even though I get creeped out by the idea of drowning,
I am really loving this book.
The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann
Really, really happy I grabbed this.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

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.
