Apparently, I have no self–control. . . .

At least, when it comes to books. But, then again, what book nerd doesn't?!

I went to Barnes & Noble over my vacation, and I was hoping to just window shop. It was a terrible idea — what book nerd can go to a book and not buy a book?! I mean, honestly, who did I think I was, huh? Obviously, delusional. . . . But what can I say? I brought this on myself the day I opened Ella Enchanted. (Don't know what that means? Read my bio!)

On to the books!

Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer

I honestly have been wanting to get this book for so long! The minute I read the description, I knew I had to read it. Also, the fact that I've been seeing Kemmerer's name all over GR as of late definitely makes me want to get ALL of her books!

Although B&N didn't have More Than We Can Tell, a standalone set in the same universe, I can always get it elsewhere.

Once I get through all my other ARCs and book commitments, this will be toward the top of my TBR!

Absolutely CANNOT wait to read it!

They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman

You may recognize Goodman as the author of They'll Never Catch Us (or you may not)!

I've been a bit of a sucker for some good YA mystery thrillers lately, and this book definitely piqued my interest! Although many of my GR friends rated TWTWU rather lowly (and apparently Goodman's other two books), I still have pretty high hopes for it.

Here's to hoping to a GREAT mystery! Hopefully, it's not a let down!

Get these books!
