My Kansas receipt comes from a bookstore called the Book Warehouse, in a mall in Olathe. IT WAS HUGE AND AMAZING. The children's/YA section ROCKED. So many epic looking books... and a great sale, too. I totally rec if you're ever in the Olathe area. Or in the United States. I actually got six books here, too.
First we have Flora Segunda by Ysabeau S. Wilce. I never knew what it was about, even though my cousin loves it. And Diana Wynne Jones endorsed it, so it has to be great.
Speaking of which! I found Cart And Cwidder by Mrs. Jones, the first book in her Dalemark Quartet. Again, I have no idea what it's about. BUT IT'S HER.
Next is Flight by Jason Lethcoe, the first The Mysterious Mr. Spines book. I love Lethcoe just for Benjamin Bartholomew Piff, but this series is pretty awesome, too. I need to reread the first book, though...
Another thing you should know about me: I'm a blossoming Norse mythology nerd. I love it. So much. So when I saw Thor's Wedding Day - by Bruce Coville, no less - I had to get it. even if it's not exactly a mature retelling. I think I'm not a fan of Coville like most people are, but it was still cute.
Then we have Bones Of Faerie, by Janni Lee Simner. I picked this up on a whim because I love faeries. At it has a gorgeous cover. Here's hoping it's good.
And finally, we have The Pied Piper/El flautista de Hamelin, a Pied Piper retelling in both English and Spanish. I got it to practice my Spanish. I mean, how impressive would it be if I could recite the Pied Piper tale in Spanish? It should be really fun.
