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!
Another insane week of bookish goodness! My poor credit card is weeping!
So from my little excursion on Friday into Naperville, I did some shopping around the area while waiting for the signing to begin and it was very fruitful!
Here's what I bought:
Then there was the totally awesome t-shirt that--while hard to see--says: My patronous is a bookworm! And it rightly shows a bespectacled bookworm reading a book! Then there was a bookmark I had to have, I seem to not own enough! That shows a full bookcase and the words Carpe Librum, then beneath it, the translation: Seize the Book!
I had previously ordered: Mortal Danger by Ann Aguirre & The Vault of Dreamers by Caragh M. O'Brien from the Fierce Reads signing earlier that week and was able to pick them up at the store then! I already read and enjoyed them so I'm happy to have SIGNED copies!
Then I stumbled across Nil by Lynne Matson and remembered hearing good reviews and it sounded interesting, so I thought, what the heck! Let's buy a SIGNED copy! Unpersonalized, but still SIGNED so yay!
Okay, and then I got this little lovely in the mail as apart of the Street Team package from C.C. Hunter:
And then, oh yes, there's more! I bought these books, one I ordered and read and reviewed, one's a keeper copy and the other I sunk to peer pressure by what I hear about it:
Get Even by Gretchen McNeil--the keeper copy!
The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey--already read, reviewed, loved & shelved! +signed!
The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey--already read, reviewed, loved & shelved! +signed!
Legend by Marie Lu--the peer pressure book! ;)
Then after I wrote up this post, I went out shopping and would you believe it, I bought a little bit more! No books, but bookish items! And one of the items is my SIGNED sampler of Get Even, plus the the first 2 chapters of Get Dirty and a personalized bookplate! YAY!
So that's the sampler and bookplate on top, then to the left is a BEAUTIFUL bookmark with JOHNNY DEPP as my favorite Captain! And Orlando Bloom too! Couldn't pass that up!
Then I finally broke down and bought the "peasant Belle" Pop figure because I just loved it! Her hair style is so her, plus it was mine as a kid too and I just liked it. The only thing missing is her book!
And finally, yes, finally! I bought this necklace from Hebel Design because I looooved Unremembered and loooooved how this is practically a piece of the book!
It's Sera's locket from the book! It's sooo lifelike! And the second picture, it's hard to see but it has the inscription S + Z = 1609
Whew! And that's my haul this week! What did you get?
