It was a pretty good week this week! I was using up vacation days so I only worked 1 day this week! Lol! My birthday was Friday and I spent a nice portion of the day at home reading, then I bought some JLA books online with only a minor hiccup but all were successfully acquired. Did a little shopping...part Xmas, part shopping for me! Lol! I went out to dinner at a really nice Italian place, had Nothing But Bundts for birthday cake, it was a nice day overall! The only bad part about the week was how quickly the days went by when I was off! Lol. Why does that always have to happen? I think I'm almost done with my Xmas shopping at least! I have to look things over and determine if my little niece and nephew need an extra something and I need to see what all I have for my mom, but I think I'm nearly done like 98-99% done? I just need to see what all I have really...and wrap them all.
Here's what I got this week:
Morrighan by Mary E. Pearson--it finally arrived after massive delays and transits!
Vampires, Hearts, & Other Dead Things by Margie Fuston--I ordered a hardcover copy, did not ask for a USED copy but I clearly got something they acquired in a bargain bin or something as there was a sticky coating over part of the book. I was able to clean it, but the William C. Morris Debut Award sticker is severely mangled so there's no way this is a "new" copy. I commented to Amazon but they have not responded. I might need to push a little more, but wondering if it's worth the hassle.
The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber--SIGNED Fairy Loot edition! The replacement copy came sooner than I anticipated and I was ecstatic to finally get this one!! Love this book so much!
Then I ordered a custom OUABH Doll from Pages of the Night! I had really wanted the "vampire dress" Evangeline when she had the "Barbie" head but I kept missing her. So then I ordered her custom style with the new "head" Britnee acquired for her in other Doll forms. I love her like this! Her "vampire dress" was one of my favorite moments of OUABH!
I also picked up one of the new bookmark styles she had to match the print I bought earlier this month...or last month...whenever that was! Lol.
THANK YOU Britnee! She's perfect!
Then among my birthday presents were a few bookish things. Gift cards to B&N among them! My family knows me so well! LOL!
My sister got me this tote bag; you can never have too many tote bags for bookish events!
Then my mom got me this cute little decorative step stool. I imagine having it in my library room hopefully soon, lol. It's not really meant to me be used, but I guess if needed to reach a high shelf, I could use it barefoot! I'd stack books on it, but it's too pretty to cover up, so it might just sit tucked into a corner to be seen and admired! :D
And that was it for me this week! What all did you get?
