It’s been a couple weeks since my last mailbox. I haven’t really been anywhere, or spent much money lately, which has been good. Just reading and studying. I preordered Dearly, Departed a couple months ago, it’s one I plan on reading over summer. I haven’t got a copy of Halo at the moment, so I’ll have to hurry up and get myself one because Hades is looking lonely on my shelves. The two Evermore books were borrowed from the library because I wasn’t sure whether I’ll like them enough to spend my money on them yet. The other four I ordered at an online discount bookstore for around $2 – $4 each. I’ve been wanting Hold Me Closer, Necromancer for a while. It’s meant to be like the short-lived TV series Reaper, which was a favourite of mine, so I was excited when I found this one cheap.

As you can see, my mailbox went into overload this week. Lots of my bookdepository orders arrived (every single book packaged individually), but I still have a couple more I’m waiting on. I went to the city this week with my friend Brittany from Nice Girls Read Books and we stalked all the bookstores we could find. We nearly got stuck in a back alley tow away zone trying to find a park for one of the little independent bookshops. City driving, not fun… On top of the 12 books that arrived in the mail, I grabbed 6 at the shops on impulse and picked up 7 more from the big library in the city. Out of all of these, I’d read six already (Wake, My Soul To Take, Intertwined, Unraveled, Clockwork Angel and Infinity) but I needed them for my collection. I especially love the shiny foil coverslip on Clockwork Angel, it looks great sitting beside my TMI hardbacks.
