Books purchased:
- I haven't started the After series by Anna Todd, but it sounds like it could be my kind of read, other than how huge the books are! But anyway, the first two were available on the bargain table at the Barnes and Noble where I work, or one was there, and I ordered the other in as a bargain one, $5.98 each, can't beat that as they're like $15 normally, and I even got my employee discount of 30% off the bargain price!
- I work at a school library, but the book I Work at a Public Library has a lot of things that remind me of the library a little, but a lot of times of things at the bookstore as well.
- I got Pure by Jennifer L. Armentrout from the bookstore where I work. I'm slowly ordering each of her books, one by one, because I know I'm going to love every single one! So about once a month I order one into my bookstore for my discount. Now on the bottom of the pile you'll notice Sentinal, same series as Pure. I found that at Half Price Books, so I grabbed it, because of course 50% off is better than my 30% off employee discount.
- The other two in the pile, Wake by Amanda Hocking, and The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan, are from Half Price Books as well. I have decided to go there more now that I have a few authors to try to catch up on their books. Like JLA, and now Anna Todd as well. I've already read the whole Wake series, but I don't know if I own them all or not. If I find I already actually had this one, I'll just donate it to the school library where I work.
The first two I won from author Cynthia Leitich Smith on her blog, Cynsations. Now, you only see one copy of Shade Me by Jennifer Brown, but I actually ended up with two free finished copies this week! One I won from the author herself. The other I got for participating in the blog tour through Irish Banana Tours. The second copy went to my school library, I'll be the first one in the district to have it available for my students! You can read the post that I did for the book HERE.

The first one I got from another awesome and successful book trade! The other one I found when I walked into work at the bookstore one day and it was sitting out for employees to take if they wanted. I was so excited that I was the first one there to see it! Cannot wait to read it!!

So, I have yet to actually read a book by Frances Hardinge, although I've requested and received egalleys so far. This one I MUST read. It is part of my goals for the year. And then I'm really excited for Gifted, because it is by an author that I really enjoyed their other book, Hungry. And finally, Alight, is the sequel to a book by another favorite author of mine. While the first book didn't quite blow me away, I'm hoping the sequel will kind of tie some things together and make me remember why I loved the author so much.

The first one I'm very excited about because I'm a huge Brenna Yovanoff fan, thanks to Maggie Stiefvater actually! The first time I went to meet Stiefvater, she had both Yovanoff and Tessa Gratton with her, and so I found two new favorite authors. I've been waiting to see what Yovanoff would put out next. Kingdom of Ashes is another one I'm very excited for. The first book in that series was pretty original, but also I'm not quite sure where it will go next, so I need to read on and find out.
So, those are the awesome additions to my bookshelves the past two weeks. What did you add to your shelves?
