Well, I went to
two more signings this past week. BUT, I only bought one book for myself. The
other book was a gift. I went to Melissa Albert and Holly Black’s NYC Barnes
and Noble event, and since I’m not 100% I’ll like The Cruel Prince (fairy books aren’t my thing), I just got a signed copy for my roommate’s
birthday, not for myself. Oh, and I also got a few books for free.
The Death Cure by James Dashner
Exquisite Captive and Blood Passage by Heather
Demetrios
Frost Like Night by Sara Raasch
Three of these
books were from the library. And surprise, surprise, I actually already own all
three of them. They’re just at my parents’ house. So, since I’ve been wanting
to re-read Exquisite Captive in order
to read Blood Passage and,
eventually, Freedom’s Slave, I just
borrowed them from my library. The same with Frost Like Night except I only need to read the last book.
As for The Death Cure, my roommate, who now has
a temp job at Scholastic, saw this one on their take shelves and gave it to me,
simply because I mentioned that I’m going to see the movie. It was nice of her
to think of me, but now I’ll need the whole series to match. Eek. I also never
planned on finishing the series after reading The Maze Runner and determining that the movies are better.
This is the book I
got at the second signing of the week. A.C. Gaughen was at Books of Wonder, and
I knew I had to go. I really enjoyed her Scarlet trilogy, so I had to support
such an awesome author. I’m excited to get to this one, although, I don’t know
if it will be anytime soon…
All in all, it
wasn’t too shabby of a week. I bought one book with some coupons, so it was
only $16 or so. And I fully plan on spending as little as possible on books in
February. I bought waaaaay too many in January. I actually have a Book Outlet
order that should be here sometime today. Oops.
What books have
you bought/received lately?
I hope you enjoy your new books! I also bought way too many books in January. I have to slow down before my TBR shelf collapses and kills me. :)
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Lol. Don't we all? ;)
DeleteYour library is the best! :) Have fun reading the books you got.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll try!
DeleteGreat haul and how cool you were able to find what you needed at the library. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI actually put these ones on hold, so they were shipped directly to my nearest library branch.
DeleteI have checked books out from the library that I already had before. I couldn't comfortably read the small print so I grabbed the large print edition from the library. I hope you enjoy all of these, Rachelle!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too!
