Pictures in the Words

Okay, sorry! I’m terrible at keeping up with this! I’m trying reeeeally hard, I promise. (: This week has been kind of exciting! A few giveaway hops ended, and I took a trip to GoodWill, AND I got paid for babysitting the other night—it’s been crazy! So here’s a list of what’s new on my shelf this week!

This week has been pretty passive! (:

Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel (audiobook)

I purchased:
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkein (box set)**

I recieved for free:
Zombiecorns by John Green
An Iron Fey Valentine by Julia Kagawa

But let me say, I am dang excited for that box set! (:

Hello everybody! This week was actually pretty packed in terms of getting books, although I bought almost nothing!

In giveaways, I won:
A Sound Among the Trees by Susan Meissner
Protection for Hire by Camy Tang**
The Royal Sheikh by Katheryn Lang (ebook)
No Where Girl by AJ Paquette**
Winging It by Deborah Cooke**
Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel (audiobook)**
Must’ve Done Something Good by Cheryl Cory (ebook)
H10 N1 by MR Corelius

At an event at my local library, I won these old ARCs by winning several “Minute to Win It” games:
Fracture by Megan Miranda
So Much Closer by Susane Colasanti
Frost by Wendy Delsol
Halflings by Heather Burch
Devoted by Hilary Duff
Envy by Gregg Olsen

And I actually purchased:
I Got This by Jennifer Hudson
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck**
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

It’s been quite the week for me! I’m pretty sure this is all of them! Thanks to there being only seven or so people at the Minute To Win It games, if you completed the challenge during the “championships” in the time limit, you got a prize, and then if you won, you got a second prize. I entered for three games and won all three, and now I have six gorgeous ARCs! I don’t even care that Fracture doesn’t have the final cover! (:

Again, trying to stick with the New Books of the Week feature! (:
This week was a little boring; I didn’t actually order anything or something like that.

BUT! I did get my copy of Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins in the mail!
AND! I got a signed copy of A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young in the mail, from a giveway I’d won! It was very exciting to open the mailbox and see it there! Needless to say, I was thrilled!

Have a good week everybody! (:

EDIT:
I also got my copy of Sovay by Celia Rees in the mail today! The cover is so very beautiful!

I’m deciding that each Saturday, I’ll relate what it is, if anything, I got that week in terms of books. I feel like something is always finding its way into my house and I never talk about it! And I know I love when blogs I follow do that, because sometimes I see titles I hadn’t heard before and add them to my own shelves! (:

** means I haven’t recieved the book yet.

So this week I scored in several different giveaways:
Indiana Fire by Neisa Hutson (ebook)
Conquest by Vik Rubenfeld (ebook)
A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young
Sovay by Celia Rees
H1N01 by MR Cornelius**

I bought:
Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins

(Although, if you look at my “Currently Reading” widget, I am reading Demonglass. I couldn’t wait to get my copy, so I’m snagging the one my friend got from the library when I see her in a couple hours, hahaha.)

That’s all for this week! (:
