Thanks to The Story Siren and Pop Culture Junkie for IMM! :)
Okay so last Sunday I went to the annual Library Book Sale (look at what I got last year) and these were the goodies I bought! Didn't get nearly as many as last year though since there was less of a selection. $10 bucks a bag and the book stores can use that money to buy newer books!
I shall try to read these as soon as possible!

33 Snowfish by Adam Rapp
I already read it and WOW!!! Review will be coming soon. I shall leave you with this:
If you are a fan of sad books with a bit of hope sprinkled in there (kind of like Ellen Hopkins's books), then you will like this. ;) Also if you like Ron Koertge's writing. Rapp's was somewhat reminiscent of that and I'm glad because I love Koertge's Margaux With an X. I read his book Stoner & Spaz btw but I did not love it. It was alright. Still highly enjoyed the writing though. I'm so curious about Rapp's other books! Especially Little Chicago where part of 33 Snowfish takes place btw. Oh and I now REALLY want to go to Nimrod, Minnesota. Yes Nimrod. Population of 75 (est. 2000 U.S Census).
Note: I think it's super duper that Adam Rapp was the director of Winter Passing (with Zooey Deschanel and Will Ferrel) which I really liked especially the soundtrack:)
Trades (Thanks again Katie from Katie's Book Blog, I actually got these like two weeks ago btw sorry didn't post sooner!):
Won (Thanks again Carrie's YA Bookshelf! Ditto about the two weeks thing):
For review (Thank you madam, you know who you are!):
IF YOU GUYS AND GALS HAVE READ ANY OF THESE FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT, thanks! :) and also link to your IMM if you want.

10 Pages Flipped:
Wow, you borrowed quite a bit! Enjoy!
WOW! How did you carry them home? 8P
Tenderness is an intense story! The two main characters are sick, macabre and everything inbetween. I've still got a bitter aftertaste from the end. read it soon! :O
Dude. WOW. I don't even know what to comment on, so I'll just say amazing haul! Hope you enjoy every single one :)
Someday This Pain is my FAVORITE!!!! I love love love Peter. He came to my college for a writer's class I'm in and we got to do a Q and A with him and he did a reading, and I got to meet him and it was the best day EVER!!! :) :)

WOOWWW!!! Book heaven!! haha You will be busy for a long time yet!!
Green with envy is the saying I think I'm looking for here :P I've only read Beautiful Creatures out of your books which was pretty good but a bit over-hyped. I also loved John Marsden's Tomorrow Series so hopefully his other books are just as good. Enjoy them all! Here's my IMM
Thank you! Your words are really incentive! :D

I cut some bedtime to read my books, although I'm mega-tired every morning. :P
WOW, I'm jealous of all those books! Library sales are awesome (although there aren't that many YA titles that get sold there). Happy reading!
