Congratulations!!! Isn't it a fantastic feeling? As for the questions,
ReplyDelete1) Ha! I have a list of books I want and almost buy (and I have a wishlist on Book Depository that is set to email me if prices drop), so that's up in the air. I generally just buy according to mood.
2) Can't help ya. Free clipart sucks. However, I do like going through Flickr's Creative Commons section; it's photos w/ special permissions so that you can use them how you want.
3) I tend to recommend books based on who I am talking to; I want to give them something they'll like. Likely options:
number9dream - David Mitchell
Cloud Altas - David Mitchell
(though for you, probably Black Swan Green by D.M. - coming of age, so more MG friendly)
Soulless - Gail Carriger
The Hunger Games series - Suzanne Collins
The Uglies series - Scott Westerfeld
any of Margaret Atwood's dystopias
CONGRATS AGAIN!!!
1. What book might you buy?
ReplyDeleteWhoooo, that's always a tough question. I have been intrigued by this book for quite a long time and read a review today that convinced me to try it so I would buy The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick (2007).
2. Where can I find free online clipart to use? I never find good sites :(
Try:
http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/
- they have some great stuff.
3. What book would you recommend without hesitation - you loved it that much?
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins....every time I am asked!
1. The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
ReplyDelete2. I'm probably the last person you should ask! LOL
3. Bitten by Kelley Armstrong for adults and Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater and Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl for YA
Congrats!
I don't use a lot of clipart but, when I want to add some visual interest, I go to Glitter Graphics and search Flickr for image posted with Creative Commons licenses.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I would want to buy. But I'm sure I could find something marvelous.
My current favorite book to recommend to everyone I see is Beautiful Creatures.
1. Probably The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong or Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready.
ReplyDelete2. http://www.sxc.hu You'd have to do a bit of searching, but I've seen really cute clip art on it.
3. BRIGHTLY WOVEN by ALEXANDRA BRACKEN. Definitely made my favorite of all-time list!
I would recommend both of Francisco Stork's books, A Wish After Midnight by Zetta Elliott, Gringolandia by Lyn Miller Lachmann and Whale talk by Chris Crutcher. Oh and for MG I would recommend 8th Grade Superzero by Olugbemisola Rhuday Perkovich.
ReplyDeleteI would buy Angry Management by Chris Crutcher, Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves and Devil's Kiss by Sarwat Chadda (not sure how many books I can get for $20 but I'm for sure getting Bleeding Violet!)
Congrats on your now 203 followers!
First off, congrats on your followers!
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend without hesitation THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak. So beautiful and I love it so much :)
Q1 - I will probably get as many books as I can in the Shifters series by Rachel Vincent. I'm currently reading the first book in the series, Stray, and it's good :D
ReplyDeleteQ3 - I frequently book-push:
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost
The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Congratulations on 200 followers! And thanks so much for the contest. :)
ReplyDeleteMy answers to #1 and #3 are the same because I try really hard to only buy books that I love love love. In this case, that would be The Lion and The Mouse by Pinkney and either Graceling by Cashore or Shiver by Stiefvater.
As for clipart, as much as I don't like Microsoft, their clipart collection is massive (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/clipart/default.aspx). I don't generally go to any other sites because they're filled with ads, pop-up windows, and sometimes malware. I second the suggestion of searching Flickr for Creative Commons-licensed images.
Just dropping by to let you know I picked you for this award :)
ReplyDeletehttp://litbitchbaby.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-got-award-d.html
I would buy The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World. :)
ReplyDeleteI would buy the rest of the Mortal Instruments series. I get my clip art from discoveryeducation.com. It's free! I also highly recommend Hunger Games, The Body Finder, and Hush, Hush.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I'd pick but recommendations...that I can do. :)
ReplyDeleteA Northern Light, by Jennifer Donnelly
The Skulduggery Pleasant series
I like the Enola Holmes and Theodosia Throckmorton series, but not so much I can't put them down.
Tisha. Look it up. Fabulous book. FABULOUS. Should be a classic.
North and South, and anything else written by Elizabeth Gaskell.

ReplyDeleteAnd as for the book that I'd suggest without any doubt, I'd say Marley & Me by John Grogan and Love Eternally by Deborah Wright. I wept through both books and I'm not sure if it was the book or... it was me, being overly emotional *lol*
1. Tough! I think I'd be torn between Brightly Woven, The Body Finder or Lament. Then possibly half a dozen other titles that spring to mind by then LOL
