Catherine Bruno | 771 comments Just ordered The Hate U Give because one library near me only has it as a digital download and the other library has it on order but it has five requests on it already.

I had a package delivered today (???) that had some long ago pre-orders from Amazon, and one recent release.

PathFinder (TodHunter Moon, #1) by Angie Sage Given to the Sea (Given Duet, #1) by Mindy McGinnis Hunted by Meagan Spooner Windwitch (The Witchlands, #2) by Susan Dennard Blood Rose Rebellion (Blood Rose Rebellion, #1) by Rosalyn Eves The Midnight Star (The Young Elites, #3) by Marie Lu

I also got some cardstock stickers from Graphic 45 which came damaged, as well as one of the books. UGH. It wasn't packed well at all, everything was just thrown into this big box with no packing materials or an invoice or anything :l Amazon will be hearing about this!

But happy to have a bunch of books arrive on Easter!!

Wow that's a lot of books :) That's a nice bookshelf. Congrats!!
I usually just get e-books now because they are cheaper and don't take up space. It is nice having actual hardback/paperback books though. I like my Kindle Paperwhite but I hate that the book covers are all in black and white. It's still nicer getting actual books when there is a nice cover but the e-books are just more convenient and less expensive.

You are right. I love my Kindle, and I do have a ton of Kindle books, and its a great device for on the go and traveling. But I'm a book hoarder, love my books!!
