First, I want to thank Andi and Brittany for putting this together! In the last few weeks I have accumulated so many ARCs to add to my collection - I feel like I'm living in a bookish heaven :)

Next - a huuuge thank you to everyone who has swapped or donated a book to me!
Seriously, booknerds are the bestest people ever!!! They're the only ones who can fully understand what it's like, can relate, and help. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart :)

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

And now, there are a few ARCs that I am still hoping for.

I love Oliver's writing!

Currently, I'm anxiously waiting for my order of LAMENT and BALLAD UK paperback editions to arrive soon. I'm also waiting for my hardcover of THE SCORPIO RACES and the UK paperback edition of it too! These two should arrive by the end of the month. And I hope to be able to place an order for this in the Spanish hardcover soon - I cannot wait to get this edition!!! It's been on my wishlist for forever. And it will also be my first spanish edition book; which is another dream of mine - to have a bookshelf full of my favorite books in spanish :)

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

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

- FIRE (ARC)

THIS book broke my heart!!!
And I NEED all the copies!!! This is my latest venture -
and I aim to get all the editions by the end of the year :)
As you can see, my hardcover is already a bit roughed up - it's one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES!!! I have read it numerous times, and often find myself moving it around the house just to have it near me (TMI?)

For now, I'd be super happy to at least get an ARC of TIGER LILY!
BUT, I'm also looking for international copies too :)

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

Have You Seen This???

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!!! 

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS is a new feature for those of us searching hard-to-find editions of books, primarily older copies of ARCs, early editions, etc...

Hosts: Andi (Andi's ABCs) and Brittany (The Book Addict's Guide)

Out of all of the ARCs I am looking for, originally, I only needed 5 more to complete all three of my pictures... unfortunately, in my last move, these ARCs were lost :(

I had packed all my ARCs into separate boxes, along with their paperbacks. I was very particular in packing my books, lol! However, 2 boxes went missing. And these ARCs/paperbacks were in those boxes... *sobs*

Recently, I've tried a few times to do booktrades through other sites for some of these, however, the other parties never complied. I'm not saying I'll never use these sites again, especially since I've been so successful with countless booktrades in the last 2 years. I'm just a bit leary now to do so with people I don't know, especially with people who don't have some reputable online bookish presence... and, I haven't been comfortable enough to just tweet about. I'm really happy that Andi and Brittany have given me the opportunity to just ask and see what happens :) 

For now, I'm specifically looking for ARCs for all of Kristin Cashore, Lauren Oliver and Maggie Stiefvater's books. I know that trying to find Graceling, Before I Fall and The Scorpio Races are going to be difficult - they were hard to find the first time, lol! But I'm keeping my fingers cross... I also hope to gain all of these in their paperbacks, international covers and spanish copies too... eventually, someday :) One day at a time ;)

 - GRACELING (ARC)

- FIRE (ARC)

- BITTERBLUE (ARC)

- BEFORE I FALL (ARC)
- DELIRIUM (ARC) 

- PANDEMONIUM (ARC)
- REQUIEM (ARC)

- LIESL & PO (ARC)

In My Mailbox #10

"In My Mailbox" is a weekly meme created by 

The Story Siren 

The idea is to post whatever 'books' you may have received from the week (before), whether you purchased them, gifted to you, borrowed, traded, etc.

I wasn't planning on buying any books this week, none at all, lol! 

but I saw this one on sale at our local discount book store and have seen good reviews for it! So of course I just had to get it! 

Someone Else's Life by Katie Dale 

My kiddo's school had another book fair this week - 

at the bottom of this post you can see their haul from the book fair (they've been upset with me for not sharing their awesome finds too, lol!) and from the discount book store too... anyways, I treated myself to these 2 books from their school book fair! Gotta support, right :)

Amplified by Tara Kelly
Across the Universe by Beth Revis (Another must read now!!!)
and
Pink Smog: Becoming Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block


Quick Question!!!
Has anyone read the Weetzie Bat series???
Do you suggest that I read the first book or two of the series before I read this???
 There are such mix reviews about it, I have never heard about the series until now and it sounds like a good one, but I want to do it right - where should I start, please ;)


Thank you SO very much for stopping by and checking out my haul this week!
