Have You Seen This??? (Update!)

The wonderful ladies, Andi (Andi's ABCs) and Brittany (The Book Addict's Guide) have come up with a brilliant way to share and help our book obsessions and collections!!!

*Updated 4/28/2015*

A huge THANK YOU to Brittany and Andi for not only putting this together but continuing it to allow us to easily find what we desperately are looking for :)

And a big thanks to all the wonderful booknerds who have fed my geeky heart! My collections have grown so quick, I am in book heaven :)

You can see my original posts here and see how much my shelves have grown :)

And now, there are a few more ARCs that I am still hoping to find...

* * * * *

I am a HUGE Stiefvater fan!!! HUGE!!!

I just can't explain just how much I love her writing, her art, and everything about her - she is so unique, inspiring and real. 

Right now, I'm still waiting for my U.S. hardcover of THE SCORPIO RACES and the UK paperback edition of it to arrive! 

Here are the ARCs I am still looking to find: 
- LAMENT (ARC) and BALLAD (ARC) <- Do these exist?
- LAMENT and BALLAD Hardcovers <- Do these exist?

- SHIVER (ARC) 
- PIP BARTLETT'S GUIDE TO MAGICAL CREATURES (ARC)

I'm also looking for:

- International copies of THE SCORPIO RACES!!!
So far, I have the UK paperback :)

- International copies of SHIVER!!!
So far, I have the Italian paperback :)

* * * * *

I love Lauren Oliver's writing!

She is one of the first authors I was introduced to when I first started book blogging.
I have so many fond personal memories that are connected to when I read her books.
I've been considering creating a post about this... maybe one day.

Here are the ARCs that I am still looking for: 
- DELIRIUM (ARC)
- DELIRIUM Original Hardback

- PANDEMONIUM (ARC) 

- LIESL & PO (ARC) 

- SPINDLERS (ARC) 

- THE VANISHING GIRLS (ARC)

* * * * *

GRACELING is the first fantasy I ever read that I was able to follow, fall into and love!
FIRE and BITTERBLUE are amazing too - I just love Cashore's mystical writing!
I am hoping to order all 3 in the UK paperback editions later this summer :)
May have to consider the German editions too, lol!

The ARCs I'm still looking for: 
- GRACELING (ARC)

- FIRE (ARC)

* * * * *

THIS book!!!

I NEED all the copies!!! 
As you can see, my hardcover has been very loved - it's one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES!!!
I read it at least twice a year (I'm going to have to get a back-up soon, lol!)... if you haven't guessed yet, I love everything Peter Pan and have quite a bit of a collection of it too... I believe that there might be another ARC of Tiger Lily with a different cover (UK?) and I'm looking for international copies too :)

* * * * *

My newest obsession!

GEEK GIRL!!!
I need to get the U.S. hardcovers, but I'm also looking for the UK covers too!
I know that I can purchase these - I'm only asking to see if anyone in the U.S. has copies they would like to trade away since my budget is really tight right now :)

* * * * *

If you have any of these and you are willing to let it go, please contact me... thebumblegirl@rocketmail.com

I'll be more than happy to work something out with you!!!

Thank you to Andi and Brittany for putting this together!!!

And thank you to all of you who take the time to peek at my list and help me find my long lost loves!!!

Waiting On Wednesday #101: GEEK GIRL by Holly Smale (YA)

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by  Breaking the Spine. 

This is were we get to 'spotlight' books that we are anxiously waiting to be released! The ones that we are dying to get our hands on and read into the wee hours of the night and, quite possibly, to make our shelves look all pretty too :)

What I'm waiting for...

GEEK GIRL

Geek Girl #1

by Holly Smale 

Expected release date: January 27th, 2015

Published by: Harper Teen

Genre: Young Adult Contemporary

Format: Hardcover, eBook

SUMMARY

Geek + runway = a hilarious runaway hit! 

This bestselling UK debut is full of humor and high-fashion hijinks — 

and now it’s coming to America.

Harriet Manners is tired of being labeled a geek. So when she’s discovered by a modeling agent, she seizes the chance to reinvent herself. There’s only one problem: 

Harriet is the definition of awkward. 

Does she have what it takes to transform from geek to chic?

Geek Girl is the first book in a hilarious new trilogy. It was also the #1 bestselling YA debut of 2013 in the UK, where it was shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for Best Book for Teens. With all the humor and fabulous shenanigans of Louise Rennison’s Confessions of Georgia Nicolson and Meg Cabot’s The Princess Diaries, Geek Girl is about to become an international superstar.

Why I'm waiting for GEEK GIRL...

First of all, LOOK at that cover!!!

You all must know by now that I do judge books by their covers, and I absolutely adore this one!

This book had me by its title too! 

AND, I've heard so much about this trilogy! I'm happy to see it finally coming to the U.S.

SO, what are you waiting for???
