New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {89}

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 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)

Got some fun new goodies this week!

The Weekly Nutshell: 
{Friday} Cover Story

It's been a busy week, with all manner of crazy things happening, including my AC breaking on a 90 degree day (the bad) and meeting Kiera Cass, Amanda Maciel, and Kevin Emeron (the good!).  That copy of The One up there is actually a duplicate from the publisher and I got both signed so keep an eye out for a giveaway and recap this week!  I still need to recap the Jenny Han/Morgan Matson signing, too..ugh, so behind in everything.  It's also the last week of school for my little guy so lots, lots, lots going in every corner of my life. Eeeks.  
All of you lucky peeps going to BEA, I am so jealous and I hope you have a fabulous time!!   We're also a month out from ALA Las Vegas, they have started announcing some of the fabulous author signings and I am getting SUPER excited.  But I am absolutely over the moon about one author in particular---JUDY BLUME will be signing O_O  Judy freakin' Blume, people!! Her books pretty much define 90% of my childhood reading experience. :) I may die of excitement. But hopefully not until after I get a pic with this amazing woman.

Have a great week, everyone!
