I got a lot of books this week! I haven’t had a stack this tall in a while; but my family and I went to 2nd & Charles today (a used book store nearby; it’s a chain bookstore, so check and see if it’s in your area! It’s seriously AWESOME!) and I bought four books! I got four books that my library didn’t have (shame on you, library), and I’m super super super excited! (As you can imagine.) 😀 Sorry for this coming later in the day (it’s almost 8:30 right now – my time, that is – which feels weird, because I don’t usually write blog posts at night.) But it’s still Saturday, so it’s still stacking the shelves day!

Look at all those books! Sorry if it’s a tad dark in the picture; the top there is Romeo Blue by Phoebe Stone, in case you can’t see it. The three bottom books are library books, and the top four books are from 2nd & Charles. (AKA CHEAP – don’t you love that??!)

I’ll start from the bottom. Way down there is Off the Page by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. (Remember my review for Between the Lines? This is the sequel!) I first found the book from an ad on Goodreads for this video:

Doesn’t that look funny? I can’t wait to read Off The Page. Between the Lines was adorable, and I just love Oliver! 😀 Gosh darn it, why can’t a fictional prince come to life for me?!

The second and third books on my stack are The Runaway King and The Shadow Throne; the second and third books in the Ascendance Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen. (The review for the first book, The False Prince, is coming your way on August 24th.) I LOVED the first book! Seriously, it was AMAZING! I think I’m obsessed.

The fourth book is Here Today, by Ann M. Martin. You guys know how much I LUUURRVE Ann’s books, and I completely forgot that I haven’t read this one! I didn’t even have to look at the ‘about’ to get it. Plus it’s a hardcover and was only four bucks! You can’t beat that.

The next two are two of Elizabeth Eulberg’s books! I reviewed the first book I read by Miss Eulberg, Better Off Friends, a few weeks ago. It was the cutest, fluffiest contemporary romance! I ate it up in a day. 😉 Since my library didn’t have these two books – Prom & Prejudice (Pride & Prejudice contemporary retelling – YES), and The Lonely Hearts Club (which I’m pretty sure is a series), I went ahead and bought them. I got another hardback, Prom & Prejudice, for only six dollars! (Not as great a deal as four, but I’ll take it!)

Okay, so the last book on the top of the stack is Romeo Blue, by Phoebe Stone. I read The Romeo and Juliet Code, the first book in the Felicity Bathburn series, in June or July. (I think maybe even longer ago? I don’t know…) so I’m hoping I still remember the characters in the book! I’ll probably catch on. What stinks is I borrowed the first book from the library, so now I own the second book and not the first! (I’ll take this as a great opportunity to point out to my family and friends that my birthday is in FOUR WEEKS & SIX DAYS, so, um… ahem. wink wink. Felicity Bathburn series, The Romeo & Juliet Code. 🙂 )

So that waaaaas… seven books? SEVEN BOOKS! Hmm… should I try for seven books in seven days? I don’t KNOW! I might try. Maybe. Sorry I didn’t talk about cool stuff I did this week, and the books I read… it’s late and I’m tired (well actually I kind of want to sign off and go read… which book? OMG, I don’t even know.) But you can always keep track of the books I read on my Goodreads profile! Good night… or good morning! Until Monday!
