Three books in to the house this week, which slightly takes me back over where my TBR pile was at the start of my book buying ban But then there is still over a month to go so I may get it lower!

Lex Trent versus The Gods by Alex Bell: [...]

Being relatively well behaved again with only new book coming into the house this week again. And I think I even have a perfect excuse for this not breaking my book-buying ban rules!
You see, I pre-ordered this a couple of months ago (it’s the paperback edition) and forgot about it. and then the [...]

Only one book came in to my house this week, and it’s the last one to arrive from my Christmas/Birthday gift cards.
As someone couldn’t sing the praise of this one any louder if she tried I just knew I had to have it!! and so a Bad Bloggers point goes to Amanda!

This one spent a long time hanging [...]

Selected because it won the Printz award, and [...]

It’s Scott Westerfeld!
It’s Steampunk!
It’s got great illustrations!
’Nuff said!

Ever since I first saw this one on Beth’s site, I just knew it  was [...]

My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger
Winner of the recent Nerds Heat YA tournament. I won this one in a giveaway from Chris. However as I was literally just about to buy the thing, because of Chris & Nymeth’s review, they both get half a point!

There’s a reason [...]

Well it’s been a few weeks since I last posted one of these and whilst I’d like to pretend no books have come in to my house and added to my TBR pile, I’d be lying to myself, and I know you lot wouldn’t believe me anyway!
Thankfully the intake is not too bad!
