I was over at the amazing Katelyn's blog for a fun This Or That session! Click over to see how I seamlessly blend Zombieland, Buffy, and genre binging into one post :) (Thanks Katelyn!)

Onto the book haul!
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews, The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer, and In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren!
I wasn't going to do one, but I realized I forgot a few in last week's epic post!
Library
Purity by Jackson Pearce
Been dying to read this and it finally came into circulation - yay!
Catch of the Day by Kristan Higgins
I've been hearing a lot of great things about this author, and when I saw this sitting right next to my table at the library...
Purchased
Burn For Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
I went to their tour kickoff, so I bought it there! And lucky for you all, I got my ARC signed and an extra poster to give away...but that'll be later ;)
Ten by Gretchen McNeil
Because I went to her book launch event up in Redondo Beach! She's hilarious and adorable. I also got my ARC signed by her, which I'll be giving away at the end of October!
Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger (pictured here)
I took the picture of the books before the event (recap here!), but I bought it for her Launch!
Won
Crewel ARC by Gennifer Albin (signed!)
Through her Twitter contest! I actually already have a personalized ARC from her, so this'll be given away at some point, too :)

Oh...I really want Ten. Seems like you had a great haul this week. Dude, I've have Code Name Verity in my possession for entirely too long. Everyone has had great things to say about it, but I'm just not sure it's for me.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM & SP.

ReplyDeleteAwesome week and a signed Ten how wonderful is that..loved it! Thanks for linking to The Sunday Post
ReplyDeletei really liked sloppy firsts, haven't had a chance to finish the series yet.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you got some seriously good stuff Ashley! I'm really looking forward to reading Ten, I need to get my hands on a copy. Gretchen is pretty hilarious on Twitter, so I can just imagine how funny she was in person! =) I've read both Crewel and Burn For Burn, and both were great. I loved the concept of Crewel!! And I really need to read a Jackson Pearce book! :O I've actually even met her at a signing, but have yet to pick up one of her books. It's going to happen soon!
ReplyDeleteFabulous haul Ashley! Enjoy all those awesome books. <3
