In my Goodie Basket this week...
Just like their Halloween Promo books, Harper Collins has started their Holiday Books Promo by sending out YA/MG/Childrens books to bloggers that make great holiday gifts. This week I received their box of middle-grade books, which included...
Charlotte's Web (60th Anniversary edition) E.B. White
This was one my favorite books as a child and the hardcover anniversary edition is so gorgeous!
Big Nate: In a Class by Himself Special Edition Lincoln Pierce
by Colin Meloy
I've had my eye on this series for awhile and am excited to finally get to read them!
The Harper Collins MG box also included:
Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started Justin Bieber
One Direction: Behind the Scenes One Direction
My 16 year old sister claimed the One Direction book as soon as I opened the box and proceeded to read and fangirl over it! Now I just need to find someone with Bieber Fever who I can gift the other book to ;)
From Simon & Schuster:
The Creepover Collection P.J. Night
I had never heard of this series before but I'm excited to start reading the spooktacular books!
