Added to the List #20
Over the past week I have picked up and been sent a lot of new books, it's been exciting. Here are my first impressions of the ones I was sent and the reasons I checked out the ones I did.
Jacob Have I Loved: I am working on filling some gaps in my reading of YA/MG "classics." This one has been on my list for a long time so I grabbed it off my library shelves and am going to read it next month.
Henry Cicada's Extraordinary Elktonium Escapade: This one was a surprise mailing from HarperCollins (thanks!) Haven't heard much about it but the cover is darling and it looks like it would be a fun read. If I don't get around to reading it, I will put it in my collection and have a few of my middle schoolers read it.
Finnikin of the Rock: I told my partner librarian to read this over the summer because I had always heard good things about it and she loved it. We have since bought the whole trilogy and several other teachers have read them as well. I don't want to be left behind so I pulled this one off to read this winter.
Sweet Home Alaska: I am reading this one for a blog tour. I was so excited to be asked to be a part of this because this book was one I was really looking forward to reading!
The Treasure of Maria Mamoun: This looks like such a fun adventure/mystery for middle schoolers.
The Secret Sea: I really enjoyed Barry Lyga's Jasper Dent series so I was excited to get this one. Looks like a suspenseful and intriguing read.
All the Feels: Love those teen contemporary romance type books. This looks like it will be a fun read about a girl who is a fangirl whose favorite character in a movie series dies.
A Week of Mondays: This one caught my eye when it was described as a Groundhog Day for teenagers.
Dr. Critchlore's School for Minions Book Two: Gorilla Tactics: I am not sure why the first book in this series was never on my radar, but these look so cute! I put them both on the most recent order for my library!
Welcome to Night Vale: This is one of my favorite podcasts! So excited for this book to enrich the story of Night Vale. Checked it out from my public library.
What have you gotten recently?
