{ Something Old, Something New } is a meant to help us focus on the new releases in our TBR piles and also hand-pick some older books that we've been meaning to read. (I'm hoping down the road when I have more time to read I can add in the "something borrowed" and "something blue"... but for now, when I'm lucky to read 2 books a month, it's just "old" and "new".)

"When a giant nor’easter dumps a blanket of snow on the village of Dunwich, Massachussetts, Robert Arthur and his friends find themselves marooned inside Lovecraft Middle School. The kids have no choice but to spend the night—while snacking on cafeteria food, sleeping on classroom floors, and facing off against a mysterious substitute teacher who may have a sinister secret. The latest adventure in the Lovecraft Middle School series features more adventures, more outrageous monsters, and another terrifying lenticular cover!"

First in the Vivian Apple series. From Goodreads:
"Seventeen-year-old Vivian Apple never believed in the evangelical Church of America, unlike her recently devout parents. But when Vivian returns home the night after the supposed "Rapture," all that’s left of her parents are two holes in the roof. Suddenly, she doesn't know who or what to believe. With her best friend Harp and a mysterious ally, Peter, Vivian embarks on a desperate cross-country roadtrip through a paranoid and panic-stricken America to find answers. Because at the end of the world, Vivan Apple isn't looking for a savior. She's looking for the truth."
Look for my reviews for these books coming soon to the Book Nook!

ReplyDeleteI didn't end up reading {Something Old} this month (*hangs head in shame*), but I did read Meant to Be Mine and adored it! Here's the link to my review + March picks!

No head-hanging - I didn't get reviews done for either of mine this month! In fact I had put "Beastkeeper" on hold at the library at the beginning of the month and it only just came in this week, lol. But this is a no-pressure challenge, so no worries - we just try again next month! :)
DeleteI added a link to your review and I'm off to check out your March picks right now!
