In My Mailbox (August)

We order books every two weeks and I have placed a lot of orders recently to help expand our teen collection.  My blog posts entitled "In My Mailbox" will let you know what's recently come in...whether new releases or just new to our library.  Now I don't know about you, but a desk stacked high with Divergent books really made my morning.  My only regret is not being able to rip into that box myself because I would have gone off on it like a 2 year-old (or 24 year-old) on Christmas morning.  However, I do have a picture of the beautiful result.

 

These copies are for the book club I'm helping with at the high school. We're planning to start in September and I'm excited that we were able to purchase the books for everyone.  This is a trend we plan to continue throughout the year.  After the club, these books will be turned into a kit to loan to other libraries.  YAY for collaboration!  Can I just say I liked Divergent more than The Hunger Games and I am fully prepared to take the consequences for that statement.  Four is my constant (where my Lost fans at?!?).  For the record, I never said I wasn't a huge nerd...you've been warned.

UPDATE:
We just got another large shipment of teen books!! The titles include the Delirium series by Lauren Oliver, the Chemical Garden trilogy by Lauren DeStefano, Undercurrent by Paul Blackwell, the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor, and The Chronicles of Nick series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  They are not cataloged yet, but look for them soon in our new teen book section.
