Finally the boxes arrived! We had a teaser box come the day before- the final box of the order arriving before the first set of boxes were shipped. Of all of the books in the boxes, I’ve been looking for one in particular– volume three of Fangirl: The Graphic Novel who has had an eager reader asking daily about when it will arrive. So my first free moment today, I started tearing into the nine boxes. Can you guess which box had the book in it? You’re right, the LAST box I opened.
Knowing that we have a set of ninth grade classes coming in tomorrow for their second round of books for independent reading, I wanted to try to get as many stickered as possible so we can lend as many as we can. Simply because nothing beats that new book smell.
Among the newly published, repurchases, and additional copies– some of my favorites that I spied in the boxes include:
- Anatomy by Dana Schwartz
- Promise Boys by Nick Brooks
- The Hate U Give and On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
- Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
- Death Note volumes 1-13 by Tsugumi Ohba
- The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson AND Carrie by Stephen King
- Always Isn’t Forever by J.C. Cervantes
