I Am Number, Pittacus Lore.
"We may be walking past you right now.
We are watching as you read this.
We may be in your city, your town.
We are living anonymously.
We are waiting for the day when
We will find each other.
We will make our last stand together—if
We win,
We are saved, and
You are saved as well.
If we lose, all is lost."
Firelight, by Sophie Jordan.
"A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.
With her rare ability to breathe fire, Jacinda is special even among the draki—the descendants of dragons who can shift between human and dragon forms. But when Jacinda’s rebelliousness forces her family to flee into the human world, she struggles to adapt, even as her draki spirit fades. The one thing that revives it is the gorgeous, elusive Will, whose family hunts her kind. Jacinda can’t resist getting closer to him, even though she knows she’s risking not only her life but the draki’s most closely guarded secret.
Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide."
Fat Vampire, by Adam Rex.
"Doug Lee is undead quite by accident—attacked by a desperate vampire, he finds himself cursed with being fat and fifteen forever. When he has no luck finding some goth chick with a vampire fetish, he resorts to sucking the blood of cows under cover of the night. But it's just not the same.
Then he meets the new Indian exchange student and falls for her—hard. Yeah, he wants to bite her, but he also wants to prove himself to her. But like the laws of life, love, and high school, the laws of vampire existence are complicated—it's not as easy as studying Dracula. Especially when the star of Vampire Hunters is hot on your trail in an attempt to boost ratings. . . ."
I Like Him, He Likes Her, by Phyllis Reynold Naylor.
"Find a Penny pick it up and all day long you’ll have good luck…except, of course, if that Penny is charming and pretty and funny, and the person picking her up just happens to be your boyfriend. Alice McKinley’s freshman year is not as “lucky” as she was hoping it would be. But she’s is trying to look on the bright side. There are worse things than being single for a semester… for a school year…for the whole summer…. At least Alice can count on her best friends for support—in theory, anyway. Lately they haven’t been all that there-for-her. In fact, it seems like Pam and Liz are suddenly involved in intense, secret conversations whenever Alice is around.
Single is starting to feel a whole lot like solo."
The Morganville Vampire (Volume #1)
"Morganville is a small college town in the heart of Texas-not a place that exactly screams "hotbed of creatures of the night". But college freshman Claire Danvers is about to discover why, in Morganville, you should never, ever stay out after dark...
Glass Houses
College freshman Claire Danvers moves off campus and into an old house in the small town of Morganville. Her new roommates have her back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood...
The Dead Girls' Dance
Claire may have a great roommate and a new boyfriend, but when she's invited to the Dead Girls' Dance all hell breaks loose-literally. Because this time, the living and the dead are ready to tear up the night..."

I've been eyeing I LIKE HIM, HE LIKES HER in the bookstore, but haven't picked it up yet. I read some of these books when I was younger and loved them though!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to read Fat Vampire for Halloween this year. A friend sent me a (signed!) copy for Christmas and I still haven't gotten to it.
ReplyDeleteSame with Firelight, I've had it forever and still haven't read it. Oops.
Love the first vol. of the Morganville Vampires.
Enjoy all your goodies!
I feel like everyone's reading I am Number Four, except me. Haha. I should probably read that soon.

I've been toying with the idea of reading I Am Number Four, since I loved the movie. Still haven't decided. Firelight was ok, but the cover is GORGEOUS. Fat Vampire sounds hilarious and wonderful--I'm going to have to look it up at the library at some point. I've heard some great things about the Morganville Vampire series, so I can't wait to read about what you think on it. Thanks for stopping by the blog earlier! And happy reading.
ReplyDeleteGreat loot this week! I have Firelight and the Morganville Vampires on my TBR list. Hope you enjoy your new books! New follower. :-)
