Stacking the Shelves

 

Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks! The meme is now hosted by Reading Reality.

It was another short week, but still pretty chaotic at work since we had some people out for most of that short time. But the Thanksgiving Break was nice indeed. Sadly, it seems my copy of Spectacular will stay lost as it did not magically appear. Not feeling so sure that it ever will, I can only hope my replacement will be a first print run edition! Fingers remain crossed! And now we can officially get underway for the Christmas season! I almost have my Secret Santa person taken care of. Just trying to decide on maybe one or two other little things. Then moving onto my family, I have 2/3 nephew and niece taken care of. I have some small things for my parents and my stepdad had a good idea for a group gift for my mom which I am all for. It's just a matter of seeing if everyone else is down for it before I fork over my money for it! Lol. Stepdad is another hard to shop for guy and am waiting for his list. But yeah, I say I'm off to a good start!

Here's what I got this week:

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout--SIGNED! Yes, I decided to keep buying the newly reprinted covers! This is by far my favorite series of hers so I've allowed myself to collect this series covers and give up on the other ones for the most part!
The Study of Fire by Maria V. Snyder--SIGNED!

Then I got my Fairy Loot for November which I was really excited about! This one sounds very intriguing and I love the cover! I won't share any of it here though, although I am not sure how many still get this particular box as I haven't been spoiled for one in ages!

And then I got a preorder gift for The Courting of Bristol Keats! After not getting any answers on Threads as to what book this page overlay came from, I started doing random searches on Instagram as it finally occurred to me as why this didn't make my list! It was a tiered preorder campaign, so nothing was guaranteed. Sadly, it seems we did not get enough preorders for the coin, as I distinctly remember a coin being mentioned if we hit the top of the tier. Alas, I do wish we had something identifying in the corner of this design! It's lovely of course, but man, did it take me awhile to find that info!

THANK YOU Flatiron Books!

Then I got the coolest thing ever from Pages of the Night! It was maybe in October she decided to do a snowglobe like design for some dolls and of course I had to get one of the Spectacular ones since I need a doll from that particular book! I chose Legend since the book wasn't out yet, so we had no idea what Tella was going to "look like" (clothing wise). 

Then finally I was at B&N during the Black Friday chaos, sadly, while they had signed copies of Spectacular, none had any added pizzazz to the signature, so I left them there for others! Lol. Which also benefitted me as I bought way too much Christmas present wise and then buying random things at Kohls! Lol. But anyway, I saw this bookmark and despite the upcharge these bookmarks have taken, I had to get it! I mean seriously, some are still priced at $3, now we're up to $6! It's crazy! I thought it was just for the copyrighted TV shows/movies, but it's ALL of them!

In case you didn't already know, A Christmas Story is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever! I'd say it was my fave but in recent years I find it to be in a three way tie with Elf and Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey! Lol.

And that was it for me this week! What all did you get?
