This week I ended up going to the library and I got two books. They are:
An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.
Blood Roses by Francesca Lia Block
What shall we do, all of us? all of us passionate girls who fear crushing the boys we love with our mouths like caverns of teeth, our mushrooming brains, our watermelon hearts?
In these nine tales of transformation, what's real is what's imagined, and the seemingly ordinary gleams with the magic of possibility.
And that was my week in the way of books. Can't wait to see what everyone else got.


Just put my review for An Abundance of Katherines by John Green online. Sorry to say I didn't like it that much. But maybe you will love it. :) Enjoy those books you got there.

ReplyDeleteI got An Abundance of Katherines several weeks ago and still haven't got to it. I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of great things about John Green, but I've never actually read any of his books. I hope you enjoy An Abundance of Katherines (and Blood Roses, of course)!
ReplyDeleteRebecca,
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Blood Roses before but it sounds good. Hope you enjoy.
Oh,Blood Roses sounds fantastic. So glad I stopped by as I'm adding this to my TBR immediately. Hope you enjoy both your reads!
ReplyDeleteFrancesca Lia Block is such an awesome writer. Capricious but awesome. I haven't heard much about the other one but the name, by itself, wins me over. Enjoy reading!

Hope you enjoy the John Green! I couldn't get into that one, but I've heard from others that they really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI've only read John Green's Looking For Alaska, but I hope to get into some of his other works. Happy reading!
