The Beehive Book News #28: Book Haul and November Wrap-Up


Good day everybody!!! 
It's been a very looong, trying, stressful week and I couldn't bring myself to create a vlog today, so sorry!
Here's a pic of the physical books that I received in the last week and a half :) 


A big thank you to everyone who sent me books this week :) 
I only purchased The Liar Society this week, since I received The Lies That Bind for review...
Sweet Amy from Book Loving Mom did a trade with me - and I received a SIGNED copy of Lullaby by Amanda Hocking! I am SO thrilled to have this on my shelf :)
And a thank you to Krista from Nawanda Files! I won a surprised book from my wishlist and she chose to send me Crewel by Genniffer Albin :)  I think she picked out a wowzer!!! 

The Ultra Violets is an adorable book - it's ALL purple, even the inside, font, pictures and all! PURPLE! Very cute! Can't wait to get my girly on with this middle grade read...
And Home Front Girl is a gorgeous book - it is a bout a girl who grew up in pre-war, war, and after war america. Told through her own diaries, poems and drawings - a definite likeness to Diary of Anne Frank. I am really intrigued by it, can't wait to dive into our history from a first person poin-of-view. 

Hope you all had a wonderful week in books too!!!

- The Ultra Violets by Sophie Bell (MG)
- Home Front Girl: A Diary of Love, Literature, and Growing Up in Wartime America by Joan Wehlan Morrison (YA)
