Books

It's been entirely too long since I made a big purchase of books from Amazon.com. But now that I'm working and getting a steady paycheck, yea-ha! I'm buying some books, dang it!

I just hit the submit button on my order.

I bought:

Thirteen Reasons Why
I've been wanting to read this book for months now. I requested it at the library, but it took them like six weeks to get in Story of a Girl and I can't wait that long for Thirteen Reasons Why.

The Luxe
A Victorian era version of Gossip Girl! What's not to love?

Glass
I'm such a huge fan of Ellen Hopkins. I read Crank so long ago. I'm excited to read the sequel. 

I can't wait to get my order in! It's my Christmas present to myself.

In the meantime, I'm reading Son of the Mob, which is really-really good so far. The voice is great. I also have Rebel Angels, Ironside, The Chaos King and The Book Thief.

It feels like it's been so long since I just read book after book after book. I guess I've been focusing too much on writing. Now it's time to take a break and get back into some reading.

Ooooh, I'm looking forward to what you have to say about Thirteen Reasons Why. I've been eyeing that one too!

I read the opening on Jay's blog and fell in love with it. From what I've heard so far, the rest of the book does not disappoint.

I put 13 REASONS WHY on hold at our library. Have to wait another two weeks before it's returned, though!

Our library seems to take FOREVER getting the good stuff in. They still don't have Wicked Lovely! *sigh*

I just finished The Luxe yesterday -- somewhat predictable, some mistakes (the copy for it says East River, but it happens on the Hudson, and that part of the Hudson wasn't called the Hudson at that point in time, and some other things) but I enjoyed it just the same. You'll probably see a lot of Consuelo Vanderbilt in the protagonist!
