About Me

My Photo
I am a tween and teen librarian and I love being asked about great books to read! I also review books for TeensReadToo.com When I'm not found with a book in my hands I'm most likely reading blogs-I'm addicted. The opinions and content of this blog are my own and are not that of my library system. My blog content is my own and not that of any committee or organization I'm involved in. A Note to Authors/Publishers: I would be happy to read and review your book. If I you have a book that you would like to share with me, please contact me at greenbeanteenqueen (at) gmail (dot) com.

In My Mailbox

In my mailbox was started by The Story Siren!
Here's what I got this week:
For Review:

ICE by Sarah Beth Durst (Total fan girl squeeling happened when I opened this one. Thanks Sarah for sending me a copy of the
book. Can't wait to read it!)


So Not Happening by Jenny B. Jones (signed!! Thanks Jenny for sending me a copy. You rock!)

The Won:



Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (won from Kidliterate, insert more fan girl squeeling!)


Lovestruck Summer by Melissa Walker (signed!) and a cool set of Two Faced makeup from Susane Colasanti & Melissa Walker's Soul Mates Contest



My Big Nose and Other Disasters by Sydney Salter (signed) from Linda Gerber's Death by Denim release party

The Bought:



I found a new used bookstore to visit and they had a great children's/YA selection. I'll be going back when I need to stock up on books for my children's lit class next semester.

Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty (I've been reading everyone's reviews, so I thought I'd give this one a try)

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (she's going to be at ALA and at Anderson's bookstore, so I need to stock up on her books so I can hopefully get some signed!)

A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, & Many Waters by Madeleine L'Engle (to add to my Time Quartet Collection.)

Then, I headed to Borders and I was super excited to head to Borders

and find some great YA books on the bargain table!


The Elite by Jennifer Banash



Violet by Design and Violet in Private by Melissa Walker (now I have all the Melissa Walker books!)

The covers of the first two books made me gasp. Yes, even the little pig. I need to find out more about those books now! And of course I am green with envy about Shiver! ;)

Is that L'Engle boxed set what you got? Or did you just use that photo? Because I so need that boxed set!
