New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {21}

For New Shelf Goodies, I'll be showing you what lovely books I acquired this week, whether from publishers, or the library, or from whatever half-crazed book-buying binge I happened to go on. :D (Inspired by Alea @ Pop Culture Junkie's This Week in Books & Tynga's Stacking the Shelves) The Weekly Nutshell will be just that...my week here at Stories & Sweeties, in a nutshell. (inspired by Ginger @ GReads and her recaps at the end of the TGIF posts) Note: This is not a meme, but I'll be hopping around to any other book haul-sharing posts I come across!

This week,  I got an awesome box of spooky happiness from Harper Teen! Some of these are duplicates for me, so I'll be putting up a Halloween giveaway sometime in the next few days! Keep an eye out for it!
         
Also, this past Friday, I went to the NCIBA trade show in San Francisco and it was amazing. I'll be posting about that in detail later this week, but for now I'll show you some of my favorite finds at the show!
