I stepped foot in my Barnes & Noble this week for the first time in FOREVER. They moved everything around! There was Travel & Informational Text where my usual Young Adult section is! Completely threw me off. Thankfully I found my place & umm purchased one book. I know I said I shouldn't be buying books right now, but.. but.. it's Jennifer Echols & I couldn't resist :)
Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko - for my Literacy class!
The One That I Want by Jennifer Echols
The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen - thanks Sash!

Loved The One That I Want...I know you will, too, G! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Fine Art of Truth or Dare looks pretty good. Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my copy of The Fine Art of Truth or Dare! :)
ReplyDeleteWalking into B&N is now a dangerous place! :P But it's for Jennifer Echols so I totally understand. :)
ReplyDeleteOooo I can't wait for the fine art of truth or dare!! Hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteI've read the Al Capone one. It's touching! And the truth or dare one is really intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI have the Al Capone book at home from a random book sale.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Echols is awesome, so that is totally understandable.
Happy reading, Ginger! :-D
I'm normally not into contemporary YA, but The Fine Art of Truth or Dare has been on my mind ever since I first heard about it. Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer Echols resistance is futile.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Al Capone Does My Shirts! Such a great historical fiction about something most kids (and adults) never think about: that there were people (other than prisoners) that lived on Alcatraz.
ReplyDeleteThe more I see THE FINE ART OF TRUTH OR DARE, the more I think I need it in my life. Can't wait for your review, G!
ReplyDeleteI read both the Al Capone books aloud to my classes, and they loved them - hope you enjoy them as much! :)
ReplyDeleteI keep putting off reading Jennifer Echols... I think I need to change that. Hope you enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteHey I used your button on my page! Hope that's okay :) I've heard Al Capone does my shirts is great!!
ReplyDeleteThe Fine Art of Truth and Dare looks good, great load! Here's my IMM :)

Check out what I got In My Mailbox this week
Al Capone Does My Shirt? If that's not an interesting title then I don't know what is ... :)
ReplyDeleteLovely haul! I hope you enjoy your reads.

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare looks and sounds just so good! Happy reading with all your books!
ReplyDeletePs: Good job on the self-control at B&N! I'm always pants when it comes to walking into a bookstore and not leaving with an armload!
Fine Art of Truth or Dare looks sooo cute! I'm excited to read it!!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
I noticed that B&N did that too! I wandered around for ages trying to find the dang YA section.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I still giggle when I read "Al Capone Does My Shirts" lol.
Ooh. The Fine Art of Truth or Dare. I can't wait to see your review on that one :]
ReplyDeleteAlso, I went into my B&N a couple weeks ago and my YA was NOT where it was supposed to be. It totally threw me off. And made me a bit disgruntled. I hate change :P I still don't know where it is, but I'll definitely find out next time I actually have money for books.
You got three seriously awesome books! ! enjoy!! :D
ReplyDeleteAHHH, The One That I Want! Max = uber adorable! And I'm so jealous of The Fine Art of Truth or Dare. I really hope it's as cute as Anna and the French Kiss. EEEK! :-)
ReplyDeleteUgh, I fail at life! Sorry I'm so late to this post, G! Looks like a pretty good set of reads :) I hope you enjoy them! I've heard good things about The Fine Art of Truth or Dare.

How can you resist Jen Echols? I mean REALLY. Interested in hearing what you think about this -- I haven't read very many reviews.
