A recent and furiously popular book in my library is Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed In Blood. The sequel, Girl of Nightmares, was released in August this year.
The student who first urged me to get these books was in the library this morning, and said doubtfully, "We don't have Girl of Nightmares, yet, do we?"
I said, "Why, yes, we DO! It just came in a few days ago."
"REALLY?! 'Cause I will borrow the shit out of that!"
I didn't even bother to say anything about the language, since it was used in such elated library context.
NOTE: We still have no actual book budget from the district, these new books I manage to get are all purchased through the "Amazon Associates Program," which is an ongoing fundraiser in which the school gets 4% of anything purchased through a specific link.
