I survived the first week of 2024! It wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be. We're still in our steady season at work and will be until the end of the summer when things pick back up again. It's not a bad setup all things considered. The week was just kind of meh as well. Isn't the first week of the year usually like that? I think I only mistyped the date once or twice in the four days that I worked! Progress! Lol. Finally got my B&N order from the after Christmas sale as well! No idea why it took so long and another one I placed came lickity split! It was crazy...especially since I wanted to know if I got the first print run on one of them! And I did! So whew! Lol! Really not much to report. I do have 2 signings coming up later this month that I am excited for and even another 2 planned for February! So 2024 is off to a pretty decent start!
Here's what I got this week from B&N's sale:
The Forest Grimm by Kathryn Purdie--I was originally going to read my FL edition first and then maybe buy this one later, but then I saw it was half off at B&N and then I noticed the pretty hidden cover under the dust jacket and I already loved the look of this cover...so I spent my gift card on it! Lol.
The St. Ambrose School for Girls by Jessica Ward--I originally thought I would just wait for the paperback at this point, but then I noticed its retail price was $18 and the hardcover was on sale $14 so I just thought why not? I used one whole gift card on these two books and only had $.50 left to pay for! It was wonderful! Lol.
Then an Instagram friend traded Mini Brands Books with me! From what I could see of the options all I wanted was one of The Vampire Diaries covers, particularly the ones without Paul Wesley as I wanted one of the "original" novels stories albeit not original cover! Lol. Luckily I had one that I didn't need to keep and my friend had this one:
THANK YOU Valerie!
Then when out and about this weekend, I saw this little cutie at TJ Maxx marked down to $5 and thought one can never have enough stuffed pink foxes! Lol.
I look forward to the day I can have more bookcases and a home of my own so I can have everything properly displayed! Really hope 2024 can be my year!
And that was it for me this week! A nice quiet week in the book world which is nice. I feel like B&N will have a preorder sale soon and I will be spending my gift cards pretty quickly! Lol!
What all did you get this week?
