Hmm...

I wanted to say "Surely I've read more books than that in May!", but the truth is, I probably haven't. I will blog about one in a minute, but somehow I feel like it doesn't count.

Anyway, I have BOUGHT a lot of new books in May. :) Sigh. I am hopeless.

Peter Pan J M Barrie - A classic, of course, and irresistible!

The Jungle Book Rudyard Kipling - Another classic, which I may have read once upon a time, although Riki-tiki-tavi made much more of an impression.

Three Willows Ann Brashares- From the author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, this book is about a new group of girls in the same town. I want to give it a chance, and it was on super sale at B&N.

Something Blue Emily Griffin - A lightweight summer read. I've read one of the others by this author, I think Something Borrowed, and enjoyed it.

Bartholomew and the Oobleck Dr. Seuss - I bought this to use when I make Oobleck with my kiddies at school. Hahahaha. I love the wizards.

The Lake House James Patterson - Another Max book, this time for grown-ups! Supposedly they are "completely" unrelated to the YA books. Imagine, two completely unrelated series of books about a winged teenager named Max and her five winged "siblings". Whatever.

Bobby Rex's Greatest Hit Marianne Gingher - I found this at Ed McKay's and had to buy it! I went to high school with the author's son! I surely wish I had known then that his mom was a famous author; or even in college, when I could have taken one of her writing classes!

Lock and Key Sarah Dessen - Another UNC link! I love her books, so I am really looking forward to this (borrowed from Lindsey).

GIANT BOOK SALE

For all you locals: there's a Giant Book Sale in the recently-vacated Circuit City store on Wendover. Hardbacks are $4 and paperbacks are $2. Ah-mazing! :)

I bought:
Just in Case by Meg Rosoff (I don't know anything about this book, but I have really admired this author since I read How I Live Now for a paper I wrote for Library Science in college).

Compromising Positions by Susan Isaacs (Recommended by Mom)

American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang (A Michael J. Printz book)

Meg: Primal Waters by Steve Alten (For Matt, if he doesn't already have it)
