In the mail & from the library:

From author:
Tempestuous by Amy Helmes, Kim Askew

From Hachette (thank you!):
Altered by Jennifer Rush: lots of boys. One girl protag. I'm sort of regretting requesting this title. *girds loins*
Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carringer: great Victorian atmosphere going on. Excited to see where this one goes.
The Lives We Lost by Megan Crewe: I'm almost scared to start reading this one, because I really enjoyed The Way We Fall. Fingers crossed!

From the library:
Splendors & Glooms by Laura Amy Schlitz: I totally hadn't heard of this one before it made a dozen 2012 best-of lists.
Shadows on the Moon by Zoë Marriott: Japanese Cinderella! But I'm still a little uncertain.
The Dark Unwinding by Sharon Cameron: Nafiza recommended this one, so here it is. :)
Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma: a little scared, a little thrilled to start this one.
Chopsticks by Jessica Antony, Rodrigo Corral: meh.

Traded & bought:

Traded with Chloe @ YA Booklover:

• The Maze Runner by James Dashner: I read this one a while ago before it was big and remember vaguely liking it, so I jumped at the chance to trade for it.

Bought -- Chapters/Indigo had a sale a while back and I snagged four books that I'd read and loved and had to have on my shelves:

• This is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen: I adored and also bought his I Want My Hat Back, so of course this one had to be added to my shelves. It's just as hilarious. <3
• Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George: A whimsical middle-grade fantasy with politics, humour and magic.
• Trash by Andy Mulligan: This YA is so full of truths about the dividing line between the poor and the rich and the corruption that bleeds through us all; it's brief and beautiful.
• Icefall by Matthew J. Kirby: Politics, betrayal, awesome Norse culture and berserkers (HAKE I LOFF YOU). Books like these are why middle-grade is my favourite age category. :3

Happy last week of November! <3
