Book Haul #97

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews where we can share what new books we've picked up this past week be they bought, borrowed or downloaded. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

Seventeen days! That's how long I have gone without buying a book, this must be a new world record for me... I think my postman is worried I've had some sort of breakdown because he knocks on the door even though there's not a prolific amount of parcels to hand over! I forgot Ensnared was out this week so was very happy when that was the one new book that arrived, the good thing about pre-ordering from Book Depository is that you pay at the time of ordering so this was paid for last year and doesn't count! More great review books this week, mainly because a lot of publishers seem to be checking out requests that have been in weeks (or months in a couple of cases) and saying yes!

Next Saturday is my birthday so if I'm going to slip it will be then, especially knowing that I'll have birthday money!

Book Haul #58

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews and Letterbox Love is a UK edition hosted by Narratively Speaking. Here we can share what new books we've picked up this past week. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

My name is Fi and I'm a bookaholic, it's been four days since my last book purchase and all I want to do is click 'buy'... My self-imposed challenge to only read books I already own or from the library kicked in on New Year's Day and so far, so good! As I said above it has only been four days so who knows what I'll be like after four weeks or four months. Just in case I have a £10 book token stashed away to be used in case of emergency, I'm hoping to get past my birthday in three weeks before caving but that will depend on whether my willpower stays strong. I did make the most of the last few days of 2013 though, bought a couple of Kindle bargains and I also ordered a couple of secondhand books which haven't arrived yet. Here's what I got this week!

Bought

Stolen Songbird was a nice surprise. It was delivered to my neighbor while I was away so I had no idea until she dropped it off, along with a envelope full of Moomin paper tapes and a box full of luscious new stationery!
