In My Mailbox #8

After the sequel of this novel was recommended by a classmate, I decided to borrow it from the library.


Heather Wells Rocks! 

Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two — and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft...

In My Mailbox #7

I am pleased to say that I have finally managed to borrow a book that I have wanted for a long time...




The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner. 

What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program--or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan--or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?

And now I gotta start stacking up books for the holidays too...

This week, I borrowed...

If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn't have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn't have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn't have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her "Chief." She'd know about her mom's new family. She'd know about her dad's fiancée. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn't have wanted to kiss him back.
 



But Naomi picked heads.

It sounds like a great book, and there have been many rave reviews about it. Can't wait!!!

Eek, I didn't really borrow anything from the library this week. That was because I was away. Um... Well I'm very sorry about this, but I'll definitely borrow another book when I get the chance!!! :)

I have progressed very little with my currently reading book and I'm considering to leave it for another time. Yes. Because of my tardiness, I've decided to not borrow anything more from the library for now. No.

I couldn't help it!!! It's my impulses, you see. One good book, and I MUST snap it up! It's like how many women are obsessed with shoes... I'm pretty obsessed with books. Is there such thing as a book-aholic therapist?

I borrowed Sarah Dessen's:

I plan to read it after I have finished reading Gone, which will hopefully be very soon.

I'm so sorry that I'm a bit behind with the meme's... You know, homework and holidays and stuff! So will you forgive me? :(



This week, I borrowed...

About time, too! It was out from the library since the rats carried the Black Death. So I'm pleased that it's in my possession now! Earlier in the year, I read an excerpt of it and I loved it. I can't wait until I finally finish reading my current book so I can move onto Gone!

In My Mailbox #2

This week, in my mailbox I have 'Accidents of Nature', or rather, in my shopping bag.

Its not a very well-known book, but if its good, I'll definitely be raving on about some time soon!

I'm in the middle of a full-blown spaz-attack, and I don't care. I don't care at all. At home I always try to act normal, and spaz-attacks definitely aren't normal. Here, people understand. They know a spaz-attack signals that I'm excited. They're excited too, so they squeal with me; some even spaz on purpose, if you can call that spazzing . . .



An unforgettable coming-of-age novel about what it's like to live with a physical disability
It's the summer of 1970. Seventeen-year-old Jean has cerebral palsy, but she's always believed she's just the same as everyone else. She's never really known another disabled person before she arrives at Camp Courage. As Jean joins a community unlike any she has ever imagined, she comes to question her old beliefs and look at the world in a new light. The camp session is only ten days long, but that may be all it takes to change a life forever.

Can you believe it that I've only known about meme's since... now? Uh-huh, and now I'm sorta in a meme frenzy ;)

So here's another one I'm taking part in:


Just a week ago, I ordered three young adult fiction books from The Book Depository (nomnom)! And I am ready to sink my teeth into them :B

I purchased:

OH MY GOD! I WANT TO READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ and so on and so on... I am reading Forgotten right now, but cannot wait until I get to the next two.

Best moment of my life? Close to it.

P.S.
Are those books good? Let me know :)
