Stacking the Shelves 22

A lot of great purchases this week at a library book sale! It was $5 for a bag, and you could just fill it! In retrospect, I should have just picked up a few others that I was deciding about since I already spent $5 anyway… Ah well. Not that I need any more books to read!

This Past Week on Just a Lil’ Lost…

For Review

Grandville Bete Noire by Bryan Talbot <– For read & review from publisher. A murder mystery graphic novel set in Paris?? Yes please!!

 

Gifted

  

  

Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1) by Gena Showalter <– ARC gifted to me from Wendy!

Drama by Raina Telgemeier <– A finished copy from the publisher as a surprise! I had reviewed the ARC & got this beautiful coloured copy this week! Thank you! :)

The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater <– A surprise finished copy from the publisher!

A Dangerous Inheritance by Alison Weir <– In my Bookstravaganza gift bag! It’s about the Tudors and the Tower of London.. as a random gift bag pick, this was right up my alley!

The Selector of Souls by Shauna Singh Baldwin <– Signed & personalized copy from Bookstravaganza. You’d have to see this book in person.. the beautiful cover is metallic shiny! Thank you!

The Sweet Girl by Annabel Lyon <– Signed & personalized copy from Bookstravaganza. It’s the sequel to her first book, The Golden Mean, which is about Aristotle. But Annabel says it’s not imperative to have read that one first to read this second book, about his daughter. Love it :D

Purchased

 

Ah, my awesome library book sale purchase……

  • Princess Ai #1 by Courtney Love,  Misaho Kujiradou, D.J. Milky <– I’ve actually never really picked up any manga before but this one looked interesting, and the first in the series was available!
  • I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak <– From the author of The Book Thief (which, yes, I know I still have to get to!)
  • Bad Apple by Laura Ruby
  • Bloodline, #1 by Kate Cary
  • Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
  • Just Listen by Sarah Dessen <– 1 of 2 Sarah Dessen books I picked up.. heard so many things about this author, figured I’d finally check her out!
  • Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz
  • Lies (Gone #3) by Michael Grant <– I had purchased Gone at BMV a while back for something ridiculous cheap.. wasn’t sure what # this was at the time, but figured I’d add to the series!
  • Violet By Design (Violet #2) by Melissa C. Walker
  • This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
  • Bleeding Heart Square by Andrew Taylor <– I hadn’t heard of this before but the cover caught my eye and it sounds ghostly… and I love my ghost stories!

What did you get this week? Leave your link and I’ll be sure to check it out too!

Thanks for stopping by! :cool:
