Totally freaking out excited! I won a copy of
by Andrew Pyper on instagram and I cannot wait to read this. Totally epic moment for a few reasons which are off topic, but I'm dying happy and hopeful <------that scares me anymore. The synopsis is so awesome!! Definitely one to check out from @simonbooks and @legendary entertainment! Corey and Janie, I think this is one you might love to read. *totally screaming* :)

Hi Shelleen,
That is an awesome list! I'm drooling, lol. :)
@Corey RE: The Diary of a Young Girl".....read it when I was in school (won't mention how many years ago), loved it and the definitive edition. What's also an awesome one is a very detailed account of everything. Fascinating book I begged my ex for it about two years ago it's
by Anne Frank of course, but the edition is the "Revised Critical Edition" from the Netherlands Institute For War Documentation. It's deeply detailed and the illustrations are incredible. It's comparing notes, letters, handwriting for authenticity. There's too much to type about it, but it's incredible. Enjoy the one you have. It's a wonderful, albeit horrible story. Sad......but worth the read. I Hope everyone is well? :)

Thank you Janie :') Please don't be mad at this 'really' long post :-/ I want to share so badly with people who share the love and Wow! I haven't been able to post much on this thread in awhile. Thanks (kind of), to a defective coffee pot, I was given a choice to exchange or get a refund. No brainer.....books of course. I discovered these from an awesome person on instagram, didn't win them so I used my coffee pot credit to get these Beauties....
And...
which I actually read from the Penguin First To Read program and loved it so much (that makes me sound so morbid, lol), but I wanted a copy to read it again. Also, an AMAZING new friend sent me two books which left me touched, shocked and speechless in ability to express enough gratitude because they're books I 'never' thought I'd ever be able to add to the never ending wishlist so I have a LOT of pay it back and forward I'd Love to do in gratitude for her kindness that's touched me deeply.....
Those two books are....
and 
both sent with a Beautiful card and message. Thank you R2 you know who you are and hopefully how Happy you made this heart. Especially with all that's going on.With regards to the coffee pot, I asked my ex to just run to the local food store and pick up a cheap one. Here's the awesome news. He got there and it was $20.00, on sale for $9.99. Awesome right? Even better.....*so Happy* the scanner rang the coffee pot up at regular, not sale, price so since it's a store that gives the item free if it scans the wrong price, the coffee pot was totally free and I LOVE it, lol.
So that's a huge haul and it was with help of a few things and an AMAZING person!!
One more, I did win a book on instagram that I wasn't able to get to in time from the Penguin First To Read Program and I was really upset about so winning this from Penguin was awesome. Thank you Penguin......
The book is
And also the instagram win which I'm DYING to read, due to arrive tomorrow....
by Andrew PyperIn all the stress, worry and fear happening at home there is 'nothing' in this world to express the joy these gifts have brought into my home and heart.
Thank you to all who may have sent good thoughts and prayers out for my husband's health scare. They moved him out of ICU This morning and we're still in cautious mode. Sorry for going off topic again. I haven't been in here much, but I cherish all of you and my new friends on instagram so I've missed you. What's typed above is pure Love and the depth of gratitude for the books which were gifts runs incredibly deep in my heart.
Thank you for reading, all good thoughts and I hope you're all well, happy and making it through the cold and snowstorms on the way. Be safe :')

I can't hit reply to more than one so to you Corey and Janie, thank you so much for being so awesome. I'm thrilled to read the thread and everyone's book joy! :) All are so fun to read about and to see happy people. Totally awesome group. <3 you all so much!
And Dark Tower for $2.00!? That's awesome!!

I am glad to hear he is out of ICU, will keep y'all in my thoughts and prayers. And I wanted to ask what your instagram is so I can add you there if you don't mind.
Paid another trip to Goodwill today and bought
for $3.00. M good choice on books, I'm glad to hear that your ex-husband's out of ICU. Don't ever give up hope.

I have been wanting to read We have Always Lived in the Ca..."I'm condensing here to Rey to both you and Corey, First I 'really' want to thank you both 'so' much for everything. For understanding and accepting my long posts, for your always good thoughts, kindness and also your good wishes for my ex. He got out today and I don't know how, but I seem to be more drained than he is. I just held it in like gripping a car steering wheel in bad weather without letting up for days and when he walked in the door I just let out a breath leaving me emotionally and physically drained. Thank you for everything. If it helps any, I annoy myself with my long messages and it's embarrassing.
As far as the books, I'm so excited, but under the circumstances he lost a lot of work pay and I had to cover some bills, so I'm hoping I can find a way to not have to return them. Also, my k-Fire, which is my fulltime computer, has been dying slowly for awhile and last night I got the black screen crash, it took a bit to get it back, but once I lose it I'm not going to be able to be here like I can now :( Kills me because here is my only thing to do everyday that's social and Happy.
Anyway, Janie I'd Love to connect with you on histogram! :') Thank you for wanting to. My username is FlyMe2TheStars_ under Melissa L. Iorio. *YAY* Awesome! Also, if my next check (once a month), gives me any breathing room, I'd Love to get you a copy of "We Have Always Lived In The Castle". The Penguin Edition I have is one of the many deluxe editions I'm dying to collect. A slow process, but the gift that was given to me in my last post and I said I want to pay it forward and pay it back for the gratitude I feel for one of the kindest things a person has ever done out of the blue, I'd Lobe it if you'd let me send you a copy? Please don't say no. I've always been a giver and for too many years nobody at home has let me give. That breaks my heart too painfully. Please DM me your address. It will make us both happy and it would mean so much for all the blessings in the darkness that I've been given. Sincerely, with all my Heart, I want to do this.
Corey, I wish I hate copy of the stand on hand. It's on storage which I can't get to, but I would have sent it to you in a heartbeat. You've both been amazing *and here come the tears* so I can't type much more *lucky for you both, lol*, but if have anything you'd like to read I'll do whatever I can to pass it along to either of you. I'm going to create a shelf with a few that I have extras of from when I was promoting on FB. Not tonight because I'm abkut to fall over and I need to read some ARC's, but I'll set it up asap.
I'd absolutely LOVE to give what I can to you. Nobody at home understands the depth of my wish to give and how it hurts when they turn me down so please let me give because it's a Joy to share and the friend from instagram who gave to me touched my Heart so deeply that I want and need to give back to her and to others whom I 'know' are Good hearted and awesome people. That would be both of you and a few other incredibly special people. So cough up your addresses and please allow me to do that.
Okay, I've typed so much and if you don't see me often it's because I'm totally freaked about my kindle and not being able to get online here so I need to let it rest and cross my fingers for some miracles. I don't wish for much of anything material except books and this so I hope asking for a materialistic miracle isn't going to send to hell, lol.
<3 You so much and appreciation is endless for every thing you do. Terrifying weekend you were here for me......I can't lose the connections here. It'll kill what's left of me.
~*Happy Reading*~ and I'll let you know when I've created a shelf of books you might be interested in. Not many left, but there are some.

I received 2 books from Amazon today.Truth or Dare and Kiss and Tell - both by Stephanie Perkins. I bought Secret and Lies on Saturday so now I have all 3 books.

Shelleen nice purchases. I have still not read any Stephanie Perkins but hopefully one of these days. I believe I have some of her stuff on my kindle and that has been neglected.

Thank you Janie, I did see it in my email, but I'm still incredibly drained and fighting bronchitis or something so I'll reply asap. Thank you for all you said. Very much.

Hi Everyone, Corey,
