Sooo... It's been a while since I did one of these, and I was going to wait until after ALA to post, but, well, I kind of went a little crazy with books the last couple of weeks and it's just going to be too much for one post.
So this is just a teaser before The Big One!
Traded:
The Game of Sunken Places by M. T. Anderson
Book 1 in the Norumbegan Trilogy - used up my last credit on Paperback Swap
Borrowed:
The awesome costumes some of the Shadow and Bone partiers wore inspired me to go look up Russian art and design, so I requested these books from the library: Russian Art: From Neoclassicism to the Avant-Garde and Cultural Atlas of Russia & The Former Soviet Union. They are both huge and I'm so glad the Pasadena Public Library had them. I also got Shape Shape and One Drawing a Day because usually I regret it when I buy an art or craft book without perusing it first.
Bought:
Cinder by Marissa Meyer - I think you know what that looks like already, so here's a photo of the author looking like she's in the middle of a fairytale (appropriately, it's a bookstore called Once Upon a Time). Read Thuy's event recap

Awesome books! I love the photo of Marissa Meyer! Wow, the cover for Maria Snyder's book is awesome---how cool of her to send that to you!
I'll be at ALA, too! :D Very excited--this is my first. Please say hi if you see me around!
Here's my new goodies!
I will! I hope someone organizes a meetup for book bloggers. If not I might just do an impromptu one, haha!
lol yes you are lol
njoy all
I wish I could have gone to Mrs. Nelsons. The milk book looks awesome. And I really want to read gilt. I cant wait for ALA. hope I don't seem awkward or crazy. Your shelves are gonna be insane.
What a haul! Love that you have awesome book ninja friends who are able to snag the very last copy for you! Seems that every time I clear off my shelves, a friend clears her shelves at the same time and we wind up trading books. No new space, but at least they're new bookcase occupants! Enjoy all of your books!
great post, awesome books! :)
