What Should I Buy? (3)


I have a coupon. You all like voting. Therefore it is WHAT SHOULD I BUY time!

I started this feature back in August to help me figure out what to do with all of the Barnes & Noble coupons I get. I figured setting up a vote would A) allow you guys have a say in what I read and B) alleviate some of the pressure of picking a book to spend my coupon on. I know I don't NEED a new book, but, hey, I really can't pass up a good discount. Also, I'm addicted to buying books.

So. Come. Help me feed my addiction.

Oh, and PLEASE, remember, I'm looking for a vote that has a little more than just the title of the book and a "THIS WAS REALLY GOOD." Pitch it to me, a little. WHY should I read this book? WHY do you think I would like it? All help is useful. ALL HELP.

And I could use ALL OF THE HELP by OCTOBER 14TH (AKA when my coupon expires)

Ready? Set? GO.

1. Feed by Mira Grant
Why I want to read this book: Creepiness + bloggers + conspiracies = Gaby's interested.

2. Finnikin and the Rock by Melina Marchetta
Why I want to read this book: I loved Jellicoe Road sosososo much and I'm kind of interested to see if Melina Marchetta can be just as brilliant in a different genre. I mean, my Goodreads friends say she is, but I'd like to see for myself.


3. The Program by Suzanne Young
Why I want to read this book: This one sounds sufficiently scary. And I really like the color yellow. AND the second book in the series is coming out in April so... (that last one's not really relevant since April's still kind of far away but I thought I'd throw it in.)

4. Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
Why I want to read this book: I think this book is on the list because someone once told me I really need to read it. I can't remember who told me this and I don't remember why, but I did just remember it was recommended to me so I thought I'd put it on this list. Also: Historical. So.

5. Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin
Why I want to read this book: Pretty cover. Everything's in ruins. I don't know. I am interested. (Sometimes it really is the superficial things.)


These are your options. Choose wisely, beloved followers. My reading fate rests in your hands.

Top Ten Books on My Summer TBR List (27)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
So for this week's Top Ten Tuesday, I've decided I was NOT ALLOWED to put books I don't already OWN on this list. So I went to my bookshelf, picked 5 BEA books and 5 finished copies I bought/won I haven't read yet but am DYING to read (and weren't on my Top Ten list from last week). Which is how I compiled my Top Ten Books on My Summer TBR List.

TOP FIVE BEA BOOKS


1. The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
afkjhafheiruknajn MAGGIE STIEFVATER. RAVEN BOYS. RONAN. *cries joyously*

2. Just Like Fate Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young
I've had my eye on this one for a long time so when I saw it just SITTING ON THE FLOOR at BEA I got all kinds of grabby hands.

3. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
*More incoherent keyboard slamming*

4. Across a Star Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund
I JUUUUST finished For Darkness Shows the Stars the other day and I'm SUPER EXCITED to not have to wait for the sequel. 

5. These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
Me and the outer space Titanic book are going to have all kinds of fun this summer.

TOP FIVE FINISHED COPIES


6. The Rules for Disappearing by Ashley Elston
I won this one from Cassie and I'm exciiiited to read it this summer *delight*

7. Parallel by Lauren Miller
See Just Like Fate above? Yeah, I like Sliding Door type books and I'm so thrilled to work through both of these.

8. Pivot Point by Kasie West
ANOTHER book with two girls on the cover and Sliding Door plots. I'm probably going to have to be careful in reading all of these so I don't get sick of the plot line...

9. The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise
This one sounds really quirky and you guys know I looooove me so quirky.

10. From What I Remember by Stacy Kramer and Valerie Thomas
A nice fat book for me is what I'm seeing here. A lot of people I know really liked this one, so I'm all about digging into it ASAP.

So what did you guys put on your summer TBR list? Anything on my list you want to add to yours? Maybe you have something you think I'D want to read? TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT (in the comments below).

Guys. This book doesn't have much of a summary yet, but I WAAAAAAAANT it. It sounds all Sliding Doors-y and since I love that movie, this could really work for me.

Waiting On: The Program by Suzanne Young (8)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Breaking the Spine

Title: The Program (Program #1)
Author: Suzanne Young
Release Date: April 30th, 2013
Publisher: Simon Pulse
In Sloane’s world, true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program.
Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are their memories.

Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James. He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them

This book sounds D-A-R-K dark and I am INTERESTED.
