So I got a TON of books this week. I bought some at a local bookstore, some I ordered online showed up and I bought a bag full at a local library sale. Oh, and I also got some in the mail that I won from contests and I bought 4 more at a local goodwill. I am excited to show everyone what I got, so lets get to it!
I got the following 6 books from the online bookstore, bookcloseouts.com They were running a sale where children's books (including YA) were 99 cents! So I stocked up :)
1. True Confessions of a Heartless Girl - Martha Brooks
2. Love is Hell - Various Authors
3. The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney - Suzanne Harper
4. Please Don't Kill the Freshman: A Memoir - Zoe Trope
5. The President's Daughter - Ellen Emerson White
6. White House Autumn - Ellen Emerson White
I picked up the following three books from a local bookstore. I went in to buy Venom, but then found the other two while I was there. Touched by an Alien was a used copy for $3 (but it looks like it is brand new) and Elsewhere was on sale for $2.99.
1. Touched by an Alien (Katherine "Kitty" Kat #1) - Gini Koch *read my review
2. Venom (Elemental Assassin #3) - Jennifer Estep
3. Elsewhere - Gabrielle Zevin
I got the next 13 books from a local library sale. It was $4 per bag and I didn't quite fill a paper bag, so all of these costs me a total of... $3. How awesome is that!?

2. The Mark of Zorro - Johnston McCulley
3. Werehunter - Mercedes Lackey
4. Middlesex - Jeffery Eugenides
