So I have been super busy this last month and havent' done this one for awhile but I have still been visiting my local library (The Stevenson, WA branch of the Fort Vancouver Regional Library)!  I have finished The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan and have 30 pages left of Captivate by Carrie Jones and will be sending those back today!

This week I got:

• You Wish by Mandy Hubbard
• The Darlings are Forever by Melissa Kantor
• Jane by April Lindner
• Tyger Tyger by Kersten Hamilton
• The Secret Society of the Pink Crystal Ball by Risa Green
• Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler
• Teenage Waistland by Lynn Biederman and Lisa Pazer
• The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney

My son got Socks by Beverly Cleary for school and he's super excited to read it since he loved Henry and Ribsy!

My daughter got Laura's Pa by Laura Ingalls Wilder (a Little House Chapter book) which I love since I still love to read the Little House Books.  She also got the American Girl "Kristen" books.  This will be her first time reading the American Girl books.

My baby picked out That's Not My Polar Bear!  He loves the touchy feely books and the repetitive books so he can try to read along.

So, that's all we got this week!  How about you?

Library Thursday Blog Hop: 1/13/11

Library Thursday is a blog hop hosted by Lah at Lazy Girl Reads.  It's a post where you list all the books you picked up at the library or put on hold at the library. 

Since I go to the library all the time, I love this idea!  However this week, we had a huge ice storm hit us so I was unable to get there.  I did receive notice that I have some books waiting for me though so I will list those.

So, books I have waiting to be picked up:

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer  (for me to read)

Muzzy:  Spanish (for my kids' homeschooling)

Surprises by Lee Bennett Hopkins (for my daughter's homeschool reading)

Henry and Ribsy by Beverley Cleary (for my son's homeschool reading)

Betsy and Tacy Go Over The Big Hill by Maud Hart Lovelace (for my son's homeschool reading)

Books that I have put on hold this week:

Homicide in Hardcover by Kate Carlisle (for my Cozy Mysteries challenge)

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (for my Back to Classics challenge)

Magic Treehouse:  A Crazy Day With Cobras by Mary Pope Osborne (for my son)

Gabriella the Snow Kingdom Fairy by Daisy Meadows (for my daughter)

Phew!  I think that's it.  I'm still working on my stack from last week so hopefully they won't all come at once!

Library Thursday Blog Hop

The Library Thursday Blog Hop is a new weekly meme hosted by Lah @ LazyGirl Reads.  Each week, you will list which books you've picked up, put on hold, skimmed through at the library. It's a great way to see what other bloggers are browsing through while we are waiting for new titles to come out. And it's a blog hop! So you can make some more bloggy friends. YAY!

So, head on over to LazyGirl Reads and sign up!

My books this week:

 

Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane

I have read a ton of reviews about this book so decided to pick it up when I saw it.  I can't wait to start this series!

 

Graceling by Krisin Cashore

I have this one to read for an online book club I am a part of.  Plus, I have just recently read some great reviews on this one too.

 

Percy Jackson & The Olympians:  The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riodan

I just recently read the first Percy Jackson and loved it!  I really enjoy Greek Mythology so these books are right up my alley! 

 

The Body Finder by Kimnberly Derting

I've had this one on hold forever and finally it arrived!

 

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

I just finished Shiver last month so of course, I have to find out what happens to Sam and Grace.

 

My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira

I found this one while browsing the website of my monthly book club and thought it sounded good so ordered it from the library.

 

So, that's my haul this week!  What did you find?
