My favourite purchase this week is my Charmed Book Of Shadows, plus the lectern, I had to get that as well, otherwise the book would just sit in my cupboard. The Book was released back in ’07, but was discontinued before I got around to buying one, so when it randomly popped up in the Big W catalogue after so many years, and for half the original RRP, I had to get one. It has some of the original artwork from the book used in the tv show, plus the dvds from all eight seasons, stuck to holders on the pages. Now onto the fiction books. Looking at them all spread out like this, it makes me realise how bad my spending got this week. Some were cheap though. Heist Society was only $1.20, so I couldn’t pass it up. I’ve already read five of these books, but that still leaves heaps to read. I’ve been trying to track down Rachel Vincent’s Shifters series. While I was in Brisbane for the Lauren Kate signing on Saturday, I tried thirteen stores and only managed to come across a lone copy of Pride in one of them. Alpha, only just released here in Australia, was a lot easier to find. I’ll keep my eye out for the rest of them. I can’t wait to start Trial By Fire, I really loved the first book. I want to start Maggie Stiefvater books soon too, but Amazon shipped Linger to me before Shiver. There’s so many there, that I’m not going discuss the rest. If there’s one there you think I should get to sooner rather than later, let me know.
Here are my reviews from the past two weeks:
Davies, Jocelyn A Beautiful Dark #1, A Beautiful Dark
Kate, Lauren Fallen #1, Fallen
Kate, Lauren Fallen #2, Torment
Vincent, Rachel Soul Screamers #3, My Soul To Keep
Vincent, Rachel Soul Screamers #4, My Soul To Steal

Brett! How awesome!! I love that the book needed a lectern hehe! As a kid I always wanted my own book of shadows hehe… Does it have the ‘spells’ or info about the show and cast?
Btw I love the shopping spree you went on!! Man I need to shop with YOU hehe
Yeah it has spells and pages for different demons. Definitely worth the money!
Very big haul this week. This week wasn’t as good as I hope it would be. Good selection of books.
Wow! Awesome haul! The Book of Shadows looks so cool.
Wow you got a lot of great books this week! I cannot wait to read Supernaturally! I hope I remember enough from Paranormalcy. Is Claire de Lune one of the ones you have already read? I really enjoyed that one. Heist Society is great too! Happy reading π
No, Claire De Lune is still waiting on me, it was one of the $2 books. The ones I’ve read already are Elixir, Need, Captivate, Pride and Alpha.

Wow! a lectern? seriously? so cool! I think I want one too… LOL. Great IMM… ^_^
Wow! You have quite a selection of books this week! I had to comment just due to the fact that you had purchased the Book of Shadows from “Charmed” I was in love with that show, absolutely adored it !!! I am entirely jealous lol!
The series by Maggie Steifvater, “The Wolves of Mercy Falls” is absolutely phenomenal! I am just starting the second one in the series and I am far too excited! lol. I hope you enjoy your great haul of books, unfortunately I totally spaced on my “In my Mailbox” post this week so I don’t have one, but next week I’ll be sure to leave the link π
What a great set of books this week! You have a ton that are already on my wishlist and many more that I’ll be adding. I hope you enjoy them all! π
Awesome IMM π You have a lot of great books! I must admit that I’m a bit jealous for Days Like this I so want to read it but I can’t find it anywhere here in France lol π I hope you enjoy all your books π
Happy reading!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog π
I am so jealous of all your books! But I think I’m most jealous of your Book of Shadows and Lectern! I was SO obsessed with Charmed for the longest time, still love it. I’ll have to check that out sometime soon. =)
Which Charmed one is your favorite? =)
Favourite? Hmm, probably Piper. I loved when she moved from freezing things onto exploding them. But really, I loved them all. It’s my all time favourite show. I should try watching the series from the start again soon.
Love the Book of shadows and you certainly went on a big spending spree.
Great stash of books though.
