Ok, before you look at this super long list and think I'm a crazy obsessed book person (maybe a little) I DID NOT grab all of these books for me. The majority of these books are for work and for the teens on my teen library council to read and review or for me to read before I present my tween training in November. Some I picked up for me yes, but not everything. And I really highly doubt I'll be able to read ALL of these, but I will try my hardest! If it's an ARC, I've put the release month/year next to it. If it's a finished copy, there will be no date. I tried to do this with pictures, but my loot is in three different places right now. Maybe I'll change it later.
P.S.-I'm not trying to gloat or brag at all, I'm posting this list for those who asked to see what books I picked up. And I don't know about you, but I like seeing what books were pushed because then I can keep those books on my radar.

Plus about a dozen various picture books I picked up for my sister.
You got some great ones! There's no way anyone could get all the books that were out there. It was crazy... I got over 100 books, but I'm scared to do a running total. I also had friends that grabbed one and gave it to me later when they found they weren't interested. So I found myself with more than one copy.
ReplyDeleteBut that's great that you'll put some in your collection or give away to teens. My aunt - a middle school librarian - plans to put all the books in her collection after she reads them - even if they're ARCs. :)
Haha, I love how the first adult book is called The Children's Book. You snagged a ton of great stuff.
ReplyDeleteAm I jealous or what!?! Lucky duck.
ReplyDelete:)
-amy
Amazing list. I am infinitely jealous. Can't wait to see what you think of them.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your bags must have been so heavy! :D
ReplyDeleteI made it a point to only get books that I was personally interested in and intended to read. Maybe next year I'll actually think about people other than myself and I'm sure my list will be way longer! (And my bags way heavier...) Your teens are lucky to have you!
Holy Toledo, Batgirl! That's a lot of books!!! So sorry I missed you ALA. Next time! :-)
ReplyDeleteWOAH. Look at all those books!! *thinks of robbing your house*
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic list!! The Hollow ARC does say 10-09-09 but that date was moved up to September 1st! I'm so excited that you got it, I hope you'll decide to review it! Let me know if you do.
ReplyDeleteI got a TON of books, but I keep hearing there was even less than past ALA years. I can't imagine getting more-we drove and our car was packed. Driving was one of the reasons I could bring so many back for my teens. And the chance to read and review ARCS keeps them coming back to library council!
ReplyDeleteJazz-I know, I love that too! It's a crazy long book though, so who knows if I'll actually read it all.
Becca-I was so thrilled to get Hush, Hush!:)
Lee-I did the biggest happy dance when I got The Hollow! They had told me earlier they were all out, but then I went back and there was one copy left sitting out-I really think it was waiting for me to come get it. I will for sure be reviewing it-I'll send my review when I do!:)
Wow, what a great haul! Transporting them must have been a good work out loading and unloading :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a haul - I'm so looking forward to reading Leviathan... And, I see you scored one of mine in the pile - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Nikki Tate
Oooh, great list! I'm so envious! I think I'll copy your list so I'll know what to look for at my library. Your teens are very fortunate to have you. Enjoy! :)
ReplyDelete(Where do you even start?)
Oooh, so many wonderful books! I am drooling. I bet you have an outstanding teen library council. They are a lucky bunch.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's quite a list!
ReplyDeleteI just threw a dart: you should read #27 and #28. :-)
Impressive!! Even at the rate I read, your list would take me a couple of years to get through.
ReplyDeleteHolt didn't go to the BEA, so I was happy to see they gave away some of my ARCs at ALA.
I'm reading Give up The Ghost right now. Very entertaining!
Wow, that's a LOT of books. I can't wait for Ice by Sarah Beth Durst. I recognize some of the Bloomsbury titles as ones I got at BEA.
ReplyDeleteEverything Sucks totally rules. I got it from a girl in my dorm who wouldn't stop talking about it and i'm so glad she convinced me to get my own copy (she wouldn't even lend it!) It's hilarious and seriously well written and I can't believe how much I relate to everything. Awesome awesome awesome, and so is the trailer :)
