February is turning into second January! Lol. Slow and boring. I finally got a replacement for my missing Fairy Loot package! Huzzah! But now I am awaiting another international package that has yet to arrive! A friend of mind got hers Friday, I was hoping that meant I'd get it yesterday but I didn't. I'd camp out by my mailbox if I didn't have work. Snow and all! Lol. Really missing life outside of Covid. How about you?
Books I got this week:
How The King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black--Fairy Loot edition! AT LAST!
All the Tides of Fate by Adalyn Grace--Owl Crate keeper copy
A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer--Fairy Loot edition! Though since I didn't get to read the ARC for the third book, I'm debating about waiting for my B&N copy to read so I can read the short scene from Lilith's POV directly afterwards, otherwise I might never get around to it! Maybe once I get word of it shipping I'll start this one! Lol.
For review from the publisher I received:
Near the Bone by Christina Henry (ARC)--reading this one now and omg it's all kinds of creepy!!!
THANK YOU Berkley Books!
Other fun goodies that I bought/received this week:
DISNEY KEYS! Yes, I have gotten addicted to these things! But since their latest Valentine's set are "blind boxes" I was not going to go through the ordeal of trying to get all 6 designs. So I just settled on two and I received The Lion King one and the MYSTERY 101 Dalmatians one! Not too bad at all!
Then, naturally, I bought the UP 10th Anniversary key! Is anyone else feeling old with all these Disney movie anniversaries?
This was a cute little Christmas ornament I saw on the Give Kids the World website that I wanted to buy at Christmas, but was sold out. So when I popped on the website last month I saw it and decided to buy it before it vanished again! This was designed by a 14 year old girl named Diana.
For those not in the know, Give Kids the World is a village in Kissimmee, Florida where children (mostly from Make a Wish that I am aware of) stay when their wish takes them to Disney World! I went once when I was a young teen after I had my medical issues take another turn. I didn't have strong memories of my early days Disney trips as a toddler so I wanted to go back for concrete memories and we got to stay at this magical village! It's a really nice place to stay for kids with medical conditions, they are able to forget they're sick and have a nice time! You almost don't even need to leave the village, I mean you can have ice-cream for breakfast!
Anyway, when you buy anything online at their website, all proceeds go to them to help keep things running. I bought one of these ornaments a few years ago when it was a gingerbread house! I thought this snowflake was so pretty though and I wanted to have it! It was the 2019 ornament of the year!
Then I finally tracked down the Caraval pillow cover! I think it was Illumicrate and someone on the BooksForTrade hashtag was giving it away for shipping costs so I snagged it! I originally bought one on Mercari but the seller kept forgetting to mail it then mailed it to her family instead with Christmas gifts...it was a fiasco. I was refunded eventually but I still wanted to get this gorgeous pillow case!
And that was it for me this week! Really only 2 books were added to the TBR, but I'm reading 1 now, so more like 1 itself! Hoping maybe Valentine's Day might make B&N give a coupon for the weekend so I can stock up on those January releases that I still need to get! What did you get this week?
