Stacking The Shelves is all about the books we are adding to our shelves each week, sharing with you our excitement for our newest titles and maybe have you discover a new book in the process!
So it was an interesting week what with the holiday and Black Friday! Perfect for book-getting! Even made an order with the Book Outlet for the first time! Yay for coupons!!
I had a most excellent haul at Half Priced books with the $5 gift for being among the first 100, sadly not a $100 winner, but a $5 freebie all the same bought me a free book! Then there was the coupon inside to get another $5 off of $25 which I ended up spending!
Check it out:
So here's what I bought:
Earthquake by Aprilynne Pike--I haven't read the first but when I saw this, I debated on it...then I needed another couple of dollars to get my $5 off $25 so into the bag it went!
Low Red Moon by Ivy Devlin--this was the very first ARC I received from one of my blogging friends. I don't think the sequel ever made it to shelves, but I saw the beautiful red cover and decided to buy a long overdue keeper copy!
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini--UK Copy!! I stumbled upon the UK copy and immediately added it to my bag! It was the first one to be added since I started alphabetically! Hahaha!
Abandoned by Meg Cabot--x2!! In 2 different sizes too! One was a bargain copy but yet again UK copies that I couldn't pass up! There were 3 of the bigger one and seriously moments after I put mine in my bag the other 2 were gone! Then I found the smaller one in the bargain section!
BOOKMARKS! Tinkerbell and Toy Story! At .50 it's hard to pass these up! I love bookmarks & these are good ones too! Normally like $4 at the bookstores!
I also got a calendar that gives me coupons for every two months of the year! Like Jan & Feb, March & April, etc. DEAL!
Then I also ordered two weeks ago that finally arrived:
The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen--a mixup ended with me getting 2 copies! Was kinda surprised by that! I have plans for the second copy! Muwhahaha!!
Then I also bought from the sale at B&N:
Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead--SIGNED copy!! B&N had a lot of signed books! Surprisingly I had a few of the others offered, so I decided to go with this one! So when I get to meet her again, I should have the right amount of books to be allowed signed! ;) Plus I had a 30% off coupon + my member discount and another 5% with my credit card this one was a deal!!
The Little Book of Answers by Doug Lennox--from the bargain table! Thought this would make a great aid to my Random Thursday posts
That's a Fact Jack: A Collection of Utterly Useless Information [updated] by Harry Bright & Jakob Anser--yet another bargain find to aid in the totally randomness of Random Thursday posts!
The Element Encloypedia of Fairies by Lucy Cooper--an intriguing book that I thought could make for good "research" material when I get back to writing...and incorporating fairies into the story!

So really after all those books, I only need to read 2! The Random Thursday ones will be read as I create posts and the "research" book will be searched later as needed! AND the rest were just new copies or different editions of books I've already read! Score!...I think?!
