This was a pretty decent week. Unfortunately I didn't have a long weekend prior since I had to work Monday, have Tuesday off then lug myself back to work the next day. It was ugh. Hate taking a day off midweek. It's so pointless.
In realm of bookish goodies I did pretty well though! I had a mishap the other day when a book I ordered was sent to me with the old cover. B&N was showing the new cover art and I am a sucker for having a matching series, so I bought it, thinking might as well get a head start while I have a coupon. I come home all excited to see my bookish packages waiting, I open it and see the exact same cover that is sitting on my shelf. Yeah. So wasn't happy about that.
But here's what I was happy about:
A Panicked Premonition by Victoria Laurie--still a bit behind in this series, I was hoping to get caught up but then review books came in and changed all that! LOL!
Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine--I've decided that for some of these newer books that are coming out as mostly digital that I would only buy the first book of the series. Granted I had this one on my kindle, but when I saw buying the first "book" I am meaning the physical book! Lol.
Our Dark Duet by V.E. Schwab--so yeah, I have a problem. And it's that I tend to buy UK covers of books I already own. I couldn't help it! I love the contrast of the US and UK covers. Plus it was only a duology, so it's kind of expendable. :)
And then the creme de la creme of my book haul:
Caraval by Stephanie Garber--the Russian edition!! Yes, I'm geeky and took a lot of time and effort to track this beauty down! I'll never be able to read it, but that cover is just GORGEOUS!!! I couldn't resist!!!
And then awhile back I won a contest at Kariny's Book Frenzy and the publisher sent me this one:
The Best Kind of Magic by Crystal Cestari
THANK YOU Kariny & Disney-Hyperion!!
And then I got extremely lucky a few weeks back and bought myself a Rhys from Dust and Pages!!! Was sooo excited because when I saw a few bloggers with one awhile back and I got to thinking, I would really like a custom Funko!!
So naturally I had to rearrange my other bookshelf decor pieces so he could stand guard in front of my ACOTAR books! And yes, I STILL need to read ACOWAR! Hopefully soon! I just have a few more review books to get through first!
THANK YOU Ruthie!
Then I also bought another shirt from Shirt.Woot! Though this time I bought it extra big so I could sleep in it because the words were soooo me when it comes to bedtime!
The words as sooo me!! My mind is always whirling about when I send myself to bed. It's ridiculous! LOL!
And that was my haul this week! Not too bad if I do say so myself! With the exception of my cover mishap, which I also feel will be doomed to repeat itself when I ordered the "new" cover for Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone. Pretty sure I'll be getting the old one despite the new cover was the one that was shown.
