Really nice haul! The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is one of my favorite vampire books of all time. I think you'll really like it!

I have got to hide all my debit and credit cards and disable my Buy buttons on all the book websites! I'm out of control!! 😂

Bookhauls this week,

Hardcovers:
Paradox Bound by Peter Clines The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood The Power by Naomi Alderman The Fold by Peter Clines

Paperbacks:
Redshirts by John Scalzi the UK edition of Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1) by Laini Taylor which was the wrong edition as I wanted the blue edges (must be the hardback), the UK edition (I think) of 1984 by George Orwell , Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs, #1) by Richard K. Morgan

Plus a bunch for the book advent calendar I'm doing. 😸

Yesterday I received The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe in a book swap. I got a lot of other fun goodies too, like a candle and a huge box of different varieties of tea bags from Twinings! Nice package to get :)


message 8661: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (paper_addict) I have been stocking up as well for the festival! Probably not as many books as you, Karen! I decided to bring a carry-on. I’d hate to have a suitcase with all my books not make it and get lost or something.

Nancy, that would suck to lose your books as luggage! I did the same thing when I went to Bookcon. I carried on my books and checked my clothes! 😂😂

Ready Player One!! It’s almost time to do a reread before the movie comes out! 😬


message 8666: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (paper_addict) On the flight home, I managed to get my books into the carry on except one. Including everything I bought! Although, I probably could have if I didn’t put all the toothbrush, toothpaste, deordant etc stuff in my suitcase. I had it in the backpack going. My mug went into the backpack.

I am still tired. I could go sleep right now.

Ha Nancy!! Glad you got back safely!! The 5 of us had such a blast!! I'll try to post pictures this weekend! I've been working nonstop since everyone left. Today is my first day to relax and I slept 12 hours. My books are still untouched where I left them. :( But so very worth it!!

I'm now working on buying books for the upcoming Phoenix ComiCon so I just got The Last Jedi (Star Wars Novelizations #8) by Jason Fry The Collapsing Empire (The Interdependency #1) by John Scalzi as those authors will be there.

More to come as more authors are confirmed by ComiCon. I've had the authors tell me, but waiting to buy until PhxCC confirms.
