Friday, October 16, 2009 at 12:24 PM

Books to pine for... a collection of various Young Adult titles that have yet to be released. Books to pine for are found on my aimless wanderings on Amazon.com and Young Adult author websites. Almost all the titles mentioned are not in my possession, but oh... how I wish they were.

to pine (third-person singular simple present pines, present participle pining, simple past and past participle pined)

(intransitive) To long, to yearn so much that it causes suffering. (yep that pretty much sums it up)

Barbara said...: Since I don't have a Book Fairy providing me with a book fix I'll just have to see if the library has any of these books. Sometimes they really come through while other times not so much. They have a crazy paperback phobia which is a real pain.; October 18, 2009 2:02 PM
