For Review:
The Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff + Bookmarks (I received this as part of a Teen Book Scene blog tour I'm participating in, so be sure to check back in September for a review/interview/contest!)
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater (Did you know this hit #1 on the NYT Children's list for chapter books this week? How cool is that? Anyhow, it looks great and I've heard nothing but fantastic things about it, so I'm looking forward to reading it.)
Annexed by Sharon Dogar (I'm really looking forward to reading this one as well, though I'm not really looking forward to the inevitable sad ending that I know is going to be there.)
I also got a bunch of Children's books from Abrams this week as a surprise. As you probably know, I don't really review children's picture books here, though maybe I'll do little mini-review post for them? Hmm. I'll have to think about it. Would you mind see a huge mini-review post for all five of them sometime in September? Let me know in the comments! I would love to hear your thoughts.

The Exceptionally, Extraordinarily Ordinary First Day of School by Albert Lorenz
Library Mouse: A World to Explore by Daniel Kirk
Miss Tutu's Star by Leslea Newman
All the Seasons of the Year by Deborah Lee Rose
In all, great week book-wise (thought not heat-wise here on the east coast)! Though enough about me, what did you get? Anything really awesome? Let me know. :)

I got Linger this week too, although not the gorgeous US hardback. And I'm really interested to read Annexed - the controversy definitely has me intrigued. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou have Linger! Ah, I really want it too.
