For review:
Behind the Masks (Dear America) by Susan Patron - thanks, Scholastic!
I love Scholastic's Dear America series! I'm so happy I got a review copy for one of their latest releases!
The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker - GoodReads First Look
Am I alone in thinking this looks like a YA version of Salvation City? Either way, it sounds interesting as a sci-fi coming-of-age novel.
I Am Half-Sick of Shadows (Flavia de Luce #4) by Alan Bradley - LibraryThing Member Giveaways
Um, I haven't read any of the other Flavia de Luce books. Sad, I know.
Won:
The Demi-Monde: Winter by Rod Rees - thanks, Suzanne @ Preternatura!
This one's a chunkster!
I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1) by Pittacus Lore - thanks, Izzy @ Quirky Girls Read!
Squee!!!! I've been wanting to read this series for so long!!
For book club:
Bossypants by Tina Fey
Not my usual reading, but others in the group wanted to read it.
Purchased:
The Adoration of Jenna Fox (Jenna Fox Chronicles #1) by Mary E. Pearson
I have the sequel, but I've been waiting to read it until I could get this one.
The Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux
Utopia!
Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
I always get this and The Master and Margarita mixed up as to which one is Faustian and which is not...
Love in the Ruins by Walker Percy
This one actually is Faustian, and I was correct in assuming from the sparse cover description that it's sci-fi. :)
Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut
Gotta love some Vonnegut...
Main Street by Sinclair Lewis
I absolutely adored Babbitt and have been trying to acquire cheap copies of Lewis' other novels.
Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Magical realism, hoorah!
Honey for the Bears by Anthony Burgess
I haven't read A Clockwork Orange yet, but this satire looked like fun.
The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter
I haven't tried Carter yet, either, but I'm interested in more fantasy like hers.
