Nothing as erotic as Morgan Black's Fireside Series appeared in my shopping basket at my local library's used media sale yesterday. These are the things I did get, though:
I love Marta Acosta, and my fondness for Marvel has grown immensely since I first saw The Avengers. I've been wanting this book for over a year now, and here it is!
I don't know anything about this series, and I don't think it has anything to do with Vampire Academy, but if Richelle Mead wrote it then I'm willing to give this graphic novel a chance.
To go with my Twilight collection.
I gave away my copy of Volume 1 a long time ago, but look at how beautiful Edward looks on the cover. Young Kim's artwork is beautiful.
I also got three DVDs. I had hoped to find a bigger selection, including some of the young adult book-to-film adaptations that I've recently missed (The Book Thief, Ender's Game, and The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones). But instead I found these.
This second one is a movie I've already seen. I reviewed it here.
...and finally, another one I've seen before. I reviewed it here.
This was my personal haul. I also got 10 books from my grandmother's handwritten, extensive, alphabetized list. She gets a mix of literary fiction and suspense:
Doughty, Louise. Whatever You Love
Erdrich, Louise. The Round House
Haigh, Jennifer. Faith
Kellerman, Jonathan. Killer
LaPlante, Alice. Turn of Mind
Mathis, Ayana. The Twelve Tribes of Hattie
Meyer, Phillip. The Son
McGrath, M.J. White Heat
Patchett, Ann. State of Wonder
Quinlan, Anna. Still Life with Bread Crumbs
Those should keep her reading for at least six months. What are you reading?

I remember when She-Hulk came out thinking it was such a great idea. I don't really read comics, but a book like this instead is one I'd definitely be up for.
Marta Acosta is an excellent writer in general, so I'm sure it'll be great.
