What Should I Buy? (2)


GUESS WHAT? It's WHAT SHOULD I BUY time!

I started this feature a couple of weeks ago to help me figure out what to do with the Barnes & Noble coupons I get all the time. I figured setting up a vote would A) allow you guys have a say in what I read and B) alleviate some of the pressure of picking a book to spend my coupon on. I know I don't NEED a new book, but, hey, I really can't pass 15% off on top of the 10% off I get for being a member. Also, I'm addicted to buying books.

So. Come. Help me feed my addiction.

Oh, and PLEASE, remember, I'm looking for a vote that has a little more than just the title of the book and a "THIS WAS REALLY GOOD." Pitch it to me, a little. WHY should I read this book? WHY do you think I would like it? All help is useful. ALL HELP.

And I could use ALL OF THE HELP by SEPTEMBER 2ND (AKA when my coupon expires)

Okay. Over to you awesome people.

1. Pretty Girl-13 by Liz Coley
Why I want to read this book: This book sounds super creepy. I also like a good mystery. And then there's the based on the true story situation, which I like a lot. I don't know why, but the Elizabeth Smart story always freaked me out as a kid.

2. Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard
Why I want to read this book: I always have wanderlust (except for like a week after I get back from a trip). It's kind of a disaster, since I can't always travel, so I try to read books that either fulfill my wanderlust impulses or maybe convince me that staying at home and dealing with my life here is a good idea (because let's face it, part of my life of travel is the being away from here part).

***I went to The Strand the other day, found a cheap copy of Wanderlove and couldn't keep myself from buying it. I know this messes up the voting a little but so many of you voted for more than one book so far, so I think it'll be okay.***

3. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
Why I want to read this book: I feel like this is going to be the book everyone votes for. I'm a little nervous for that to happen, even though I know it's a REALLY feelsy book (which I love). Maybe it's because of the hype. Or maybe it's because the summary makes it sound like there's going to be a love triangle. I don't know. So help me be unafraid of this book if you vote for it please!


4. Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger
Why I want to read this book: May I just say: TORNADOES. I don't know why I find stories with tornadoes fascinating but movies, books, shows... I don't know. I'm just intrigued. That being said, I really like natural disaster stories in general, but tornadoes are my favorite. I know. I'm the worst.

5. Past Perfect by Leila Sales
Why I want to read this book: I read This Song Will Save Your Life recently and really loved it. Also, the cover is super cute. ALSO ALSO, the summary sounds quirky and awesome. I mean, the setting is a historical colonial village. Different, quirky sounding things really are my favorite.

6. My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century by Rachel Harris
Why I want to read this book: Time travel? WHERE. CAN I HAZ IT? No, actually, I feel like this book is the dark horse of the vote. But I'm curious about the time travel aspect. And the emphasis but on CONTRABAND FUTURE STUFF in the summary. I always felt that should have been addressed on Doctor Who. Alas. Perhaps this book can fill the hole for me.
NOW I NEED YOUR HELP. PLEASE let me know which book you think I should buy with my coupon (and why) in the comments below! All input is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
