"Stacking the Shelves" is a weekly haul meme that is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It allows book buyers to share their accumulation of books with the online book-loving community.
I
didn’t buy a single books this week! Unfortunately though, I had to pay for a
$200 test, so there’s that.
So,
how did I get these books, you ask. Well, I was lucky enough to win TWO
giveaways. Woot! Woot!
The Young
Elites and The Rose Society by Marie Lu
The
Wild Ones by C. Alexander London
Brown
Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
The
Tournament at Gorlan by John Flanagan
Circus
Mirandus by Cassie Beasley
An
Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
I
won all of these books from Penguin Teen’s Marie Lu Holiday Book Wish List
Sweepstakes. Thank you, Penguin!!!
I
also won another book:
Persuasion
by Martina Boone
I
got this one from Brenda Drake. Thank you, Brenda!
There’s
funny stories for both of these hauls. The first story: The Penguin Teen box came
at the same time a Christmas present my mom ordered came in, so my dad thought
the box was something my mom had ordered online. Thus, he scooped it up and hid
it in his room. When my mom went to wrap it, she was very confused because she
didn’t order any of the books inside. I’m surprised they didn’t just wrap the
box anyway.
The
second story: I went home for Thanksgiving break when Persuasion was supposed
to be delivered. However, the UPS man left no note (that I found) to say there
was an attempted delivery. I had to contact UPS who said the package had already
been shipped back to Barnes and Noble, but Brenda was nice enough to send it
again. Thank you again, Brenda!
Oh, and be on the lookout for my Christmas haul tomorrow. I just need some time to gather it all up and take some good pictures. :)
