Thank you to Simon & Schuster for this copy to review!
Bought:
Yesterday, I went to Kristina McBride's Lauch Party signing for her book, One Moment, which I reviewed earlier this month. I got two copies of her two books signed. One for me and one for one of you!

And I got some bookmarks signed - more giveaway swag!
I met Rae in early May at another signing and I was bummed when I didn't have my book. So I asked her beforehand if she would be attending Kristina McBride's signing and she said yes. I made sure that I brought my copy of The Girl of Fire and Thorns with me and she was sweet enough to sign it! THANK YOU, RAE! (And I'll see you in August!)

There was a section in Books & Co. where a whole shelf of YA novels were 3 dollars per book. I bought these because I loved Looking for Alaska (plus, my friend is also going to LeakyCon and offered to take my John Green books to have signed - I FREAKING LOVE YOU, BRIAN!) and Wither was a good book - definitely worth three dollars. The other two books have been on my reading list for a while, so I thought, what the hell!

Do you see these? Yeah, I bought all of these for 15 dollars. All in great condition besides Fateful, which came without the book jacket (but for $1.99, I'd say it's worth it!) Wanna know where I got these? Check out this website: BookCloseOuts.Com

These are all of the books I bought/received.
This is my total physical haul for the week!
Gifted:
My best friend made me a cookie cake, bought me coffee and took me to see Magic Mike!
She's such a sweetheart!
My mom bought me some goodies at the Kristina McBride book signing. Tempest is even signed!
(But my favorite are the cute little buttons! They are going on my purse!)

Cute earbuds. My favorite color is purple!
My gift package from my dad. Those flip-flops are freaking awesome. I love them so much!
AND HOLY BATMAN, THE CAT BOOKMARK. He knows me so well!
How cool is this? I mentioned on twitter that I was going to see Kristina on my birthday and she brought me these (her favorite candy) as a thank you for coming and a birthday wish! She is so nice!

Birthday Indulgence:
I got my daith pierced (that's the piercing inside my ear) and the jewelry is in the shape of a heart. I love it! Happy birthday to me!
Won:
An Amazon Kindle Fire. Yes. You read that correctly.
The lovely Cecilia Gray hosted a giveaway for those who reviewed her books.
One lucky winner would get a Kindle Fire and another would get a Nook Tablet. AND I WON!
What did you get for your shelves this week?
First, I hope you had fun watching Magic Mike! I would ask my mom to bring me (since I can't get in myself for the R-rated stuff) but I don't really want to see it and my mom would probably flip out if I said "Hey, Mom, can you bring me to see a movie that involves half-naked men dancing around? Kay thanks!"
ReplyDeleteAnyway, so jealous of all your signed books! I can totally have that copy of One Moment, by the way! :) Also, I read The Duff and I really didn't like it, so I hope you have better luck than me!

Wow, an amazing haul! And the Kindle Fire looks AWESOME! :) Hopefully you get a lot of joy out of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy belated Birthday! :)
Happy reading!
So much awesomeness all in one post!! Lol! You got some really awesome deals on books- I'm totally checking out that website that you posted. I enjoyed One Moment, so I think it's so neat that you got to go to the author's book launch party! I've been to quite a few signings in my area, and they've always been SO much fun. And I'm jealous of that Kindle Fire!! Congrats on winning. =)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!!
