Does anyone remember these? Book fairs were my absolute favorite days in school, it got me out of class and into the library. And I got to buy books! Well usually. Sometimes my parents didn’t have the money for new books, but I still loved to look and touch everything the library got in stock…and if I was lucky enough to get some, they got put in a cute little baggy for me to take home, like little treasures. Those were the best days!
What’s your blogspiration this week?

About Jennifer @ The Bawdy Book Blog
Jennifer became addicted to books when she randomly picked up a Sweet Valley High book in grade school. She never looked back. After blowing through the SVH and SVU series faster than her parents could put them in her hands, she began perusing her stepfather's bookshelves and reading fantasy like Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series, which she still maintains is some of the best fantasy ever. She collects books like the Duggar family collects kids.

Great eBooks! Holy moly! You have a few I got recently but you have others I’d love to have like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter! A teacher picked that up last summer from my HS LMC and LOVED it! I really want to try it sometime!

And I almost forgot…YES!! I do remember those b/c I run at least one of those in one or two of my school LMCs each school-year and LOVE THEM!! The kids do too, but they don’t do very good these days for some reason.

That makes me sad
My teachers and parents really fostered a love of reading in me, but I guess there wasn’t as much stuff to compete for my attention, like the internet, smartphones, and other gaming devices. I had Atari and the original Nintendo, but my fun time on those was limited. I could go outside or I could read for the most part. I wonder if that’s the difference?

Oh my GOODNESS that’s an epic haul. And I’ve heard AMAZING things about The Girl of Fire and Thorns!
Uh, as for your Blospiration? JAFHDHAGF. Yes, we had book fairs as kids, but I don’t remember them ever being that wonderfully elaborate. That is just… WOW.
WOW WOW WOW! ♥

I hope Between You & Me works out better for you, I didn’t like it as it seemed to me like a Britney Spears fanfic LOL

Hmmm, guess I’ll find out. I don’t hate that kind of drama (as long as it’s not mine), so maybe it will entertain me.
Or it might enrage me enough to chuck it across the room.

Nice haul. I’ve never heard of these books before. Going to research these books.

You know what’s crazy? Some people just say that, but I know you actually will! LOL! I just checked out your haul and left a comment, it rocked!

OMG!!! THROW. BACK! I totally remember school book fairs!! They were THE BEST! Do you remember book catalogs like Troll? and Scholastic?? HOMG! I would save up all my money and spend it on a crazy book order!!
Jennifer @ The Bawdy Book Blog
OMGASDFGHJHG!!! Book catalogs! Yes!
I also remember placing an order and waiting and waiting and waiting for it to come in.
And waiting…
And when I asked my 6th grade teacher if she knew when they’d be in, she said “How am I supposed to know? I’m not the post office.”
I hated that B from then on out.
