In My Mailbox (14) & More!!!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we all share what we got during the week!

I was a super good girl this week and didn't purchase anything new! :) (Ok, so maybe it had something to do with the fact that book depository wasn't delivery to the US for most of the week.) And nothing new for review, but that is all ok---because I always have my loverly library. This week I brought home these three: The Girl who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier
Almost Perfect by Brian Katcher

To my readers: Do you prefer the description to be posted right here on the blog or do you mind clicking the link to Goodreads to find out the details? Just curious!! :)


Ok so my haul was not huge this week, and I don't mind at all because it was an exciting book-related week all the same!!! WHY, you ask? Well, my hubby built my early mother's day gift, that's why!! Take a look!!A FULL WALL of BOOKSHELFY GOODNESS!! Before this, I had one small store bought bookshelf in that far corner there, where my sad books were piled two deep fighting for space. NOW they will have room to breath! My head is spinning with how I will organize them!! Yay for my handy hubby!! I love my new shelves!! I can't wait to start filling them!!

OH and last but not least..I did get one more new thing this week,
although not book related. A new addition to my family!!
Introducing Little Bear ♥♥♥

Hope everyone had a great week!! Link me up to what you got! :)

  6. I am absolutely green with envy about those shelves! I mean, wow. I've always wanted something like that, and one of those ladders that slides along the wall. I'm a bit obsessed. And what a cute puppy, too. :)

    I really want to read Almost Perfect. Definitely looking forward to your review of that one.

  11. Sssoooooo jealous of your book shelves. And Little Bear is adorable. I had a dog called Bear once except he was a big black German Shepherd. Very different lol
    To answer your question, if there's more than a couple books I prefer to click through a link to find out details.

  15. Little Bear has to be the cutest puppy ever!!!
    The bookshelves look amazing! As for your question I would rather click on a link if there's more than 3 books because then it's just too much when every summary is on it.

  18. Awww, the awesome bookshelf and the cute puppy in the same week?? Yay!!

  19. I already forgot what books you got because THOSE BOOKSHELVES ARE TO FREAKING DIE FOR!!!!! I'm so jealous of you! I have shelves that line the top of the walls (a built in nook) but I have to have a ladder to get them down! Those shelves are my dream shelves!
    Okay, now that puppy. I just want to reach in and grab him (her?) and smother it with kisses!
    Oh, and the books. Congrats on not buying any and yay for the library!

  20. Wow! Love the bookshelves! Now you just need to get some new books to fill them! :) Your puppy is adorable too.

    I love Juliet Marillier. I hope you enjoy Wildwood Dancing and your other books. About your question on book descriptions: I used to write out descriptions or look them up and copy/paste from Amazon but it is so much easier to just link to Goodreads.

    Have a great week!
