Last week I missed both my IMM and my WWW/WoW posts. We are in the heat of softball All-Stars season, and we have had back-to-back-to-back-to-back tournaments. I've gotten lots of reading done, but very little blogging. With one tournament left, I should be able to get back into the swing of things very soon, with LOTS of reviews to come. In the meantime, I've gotten some great books since my last IMM two weeks ago! Lots of NetGalleys too (Thanks Clarion and Amulet Books!).
The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth: Popularity, Quirk Theory, and Why Outsiders Thrive After High SchoolBy Alexandra Robbins
Publisher: Hyperion
Publication Date: May 1st, 2011
Source: Purchase
Goodreads Synopsis
While not technically a YA book, I love Alexandra Robbins and everything I have read by her (Overachievers
, Pledged
) has had more relevance to teens than to adults. I think this will be no different.
OyMGBy Amy Fellner Dominy
Publisher: Walker & Company
Publication Date: May 19th, 2011
Source: Library
Goodreads Synopsis
This looks hilarious. I think it's something my (almost) 10 year old daughter would enjoy (we're a mixed-faith family), but of course, I have to read it first. :)
Beauty QueensBy Libba Bray
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Publication Date: May 24th, 2011

I love, love, LOVE Libba Bray, and this book looks great! It's one of my anticipated titles of this year. So excited to read it!

I was a HUGE fan of Sex and the City when I was in my 20's and I can't believe I haven't gotten around to reading this yet.

Goodreads Synopsis
This is going to be one of those books that you read in public and get funny looks from people because you're laughing so much. I can tell...

ReplyDeleteBeauty Queens is a wonderful book! Hope you enjoy it.

I really didn't like Going Bovine, so I'm kind of scared of Beauty Queens. I'll be looking forward to your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteNice haul! You are so lucky. I've been so looking forward to picking up Beauty Queens. It sounds fabulous, as well as OyMG. And look at that, we got some of the same NetGalley titles! Hoorah for NetGalley!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the blog! And have a wonderful bookish-fun filled week!
