Okay, you guys, I went just a little insane over books this week. On the plus side, I sold about $60 of books to the local independent bookstore so I was able to justify buying, um, six hardcover books this week. Three are from Amazon and three are from the bookstore so it's not that horrible, but still. I work at a library! I should be able to wait a few weeks or months to read these!

So many books. Not that I regret any of them. It's really a good thing there aren't as many books coming out in October that I really have to have...
What did you guys all get this week? Link me to your IMMs in the comments so I can see!
Oh, wow. That stack of books in your top photo look droolworthy. Sometimes I wish I'd just go mad and buy every book I have my eye on. It must feel so satisfying. Although I actually have bought Heist Society, Daughter of Smoke and Bone and The Name of the Star in the last couple of weeks, buying them one by one is not nearly as exciting as buying them all in one swoop. And The Girl of Fire and Thorns and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer are books I'm still pining for.
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad to see someone with Falling in Love with English Boys. I've been wanting to read it for a long time; it looks really cute.
It's a sad fact that even with that gorgeous stack there still are books I really want! *facepalm* It was awesome though and totally something I shall not be doing often. :D
ReplyDeleteI think Falling in Love with English Boys looks adorable! I like that intertwining past/present narrative thing.
Awesome!! Most of these are on my TBR list. I just finished Smoke and Bone and it's amazing! I hope you like it as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! :)

Great stuff! I hear ya about working at a library and still wanting to buy books. It seems I buy more books now that I work in a library than I ever did before! Still, sometimes the wait is so horrible! It helps that I'm on hold for a bunch of stuff (Lola, the Name of the Star, and Mara Dyer included), so at least I know I'll DEFINITELY be reading it sometime!
ReplyDeleteYou made some awesome book choices at Amazon. Totally worth the $. I love all of these great Fall books that are coming out.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your new reads!
I have to say The Girl of Fire and Thorns looks really interesting. Well, so does most of your other books as well. ;) Great week and I hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteMy IMM!
A lot of these look so good! I've never heard of Little Blog on the Prairie, but the cover is hilarious so I will have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI was also dropping by to say I've picked you for a blog award. I hope this comment is not too spammy!
