Beach trip + 8 books from the library = a good time (hopefully)

My husband and I are heading to Galveston on Sunday, so yesterday I headed to the library. I couldn't find the "newest" books because, of course, all of those books are the ones you have to be put on a waiting list for and wait close to a year to recieve.  For example, two weeks ago I put a hold on The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larsson; I am currently number 53 to recieve the book. :( Oh the joys of living on a budget. 

Anyway, so here are my beach reads:

Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson (currently reading.... it's okay...nothing special so far.)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon (I've heard this book is excellent; we shall see.)

Wild Roses by Deb Caletti (I've read Honey, Baby, Sweetheart, and thought the book was boring, but I thought I'd give her another chance.  It seems like a good story-line.)

Feed by M.T. Anderson (This is a book that a friend uses to teach 9th graders.  I want to see what it's all about.)

Leviathan by Scott Westerfield (This is a book I was excitied to find at the library.  It is Westerfield's latest book, and I LOVED his Uglies, Pretties, Speicals, Uglies novels.)

The Great Wide Sea by M.H. Herlong (This is on my summer booklist - see post below.)

Airhead and Being Nikki by Meg Cabot (These two are also on my summer booklist.)
