Yeah I did plenty of bargain shopping. And we've been planning it all year long, so I would buy 6 or so books a month. Not too bad that way!

Yea, Oda. I started getting books in January. I also go to book events and get free ARCs or stop and buy books at the library. So it wasn't too expensive. Books on sale at Barnes and Noble, and use coupons, etc.

Thanks Karen! I am just loving it as well. You guys are nailing it with your book choices for me. I think this is working so well because we all know each other's reading tastes so well :) I wouldn't suggest doing this with someone you don't know well, unless you give them a list to pick from maybe!

Oh and the Hufflepuff edition of HP and the Sorcerer's Stone! I want to collect all the houses, so glad I got one finally!

So many incredible books!!
I have to wait until Monday for the post office to deliver Day 9, 10 and 11. I think my mailman holds my boxes until he feels like delivering them. I see where they're out for delivery and it's another 2 days before he drops them off. Drives me crazy! But that's alright. Monday is going to be one heck of a bookhaul!! :-D

The Silver Donkey looks very good, cute and heartwarming with a good historical setting. So excited to finally own Alive! I've been meaning to start this series for a long time! And I can finally finish the Something Strange and Deadly series now! And so nice of Jen to give me the duology of The Eternal Ones, been wanting to read that one for awhile!
