The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. ~ Inspired by the meme In My Mailbox.~It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
So this week has been outwardly good, but I’ve been so stressed out lately and as a result I just recently went on a book buying spree for the bookstore inventory. WAY too much money was spent, but I can double it when I sell the books to customers so I’m not too worried.
I did finally get to sit down and read this past week and I’m so glad I did!

Book Haul
Yeah…I know…but the good thing is none of them cost over $3. Most of these are for the store, but there are a few I know I’m going to keep. There are a few others I’m not sure about yet, so I might sneak them home again if i decide I want them. Most of these were grabbed with specific customers in mind, so hopefully they’ll be happy to see new stuff they enjoy.
For my sanity I’m not going to list all of these with the Goodreads links. If you can’t see a title just ask me in the comments and I’ll let you know what it is and the author.
I love that you are ear marking books for specific customers, I wish I had a bookshop that would do that for me!
Enjoy any that find their way to your home 🙂
I’ve always wanted a store that did that too, so I figured if no one else will do it…I will! ;P
Sorry to hear that you’ve been stressed, hopefully this week will be better for you.
You have got a lot of awesome looking books, and as most of them are for customers I wouldn’t feel too guilty! Hope you enjoy the ones that are for you.
I hope it does too, it’s just been a rough month over all I think. Thanks becki!
I’m hosting a review-a-thon if you’d like to participate!! Here’s the initial post, though I’ll have another one going up this week as well. http://wp.me/p4Tkz3-mX
Thanks! I’ll check it out!
I love hearing about the bookstore. I can’t imagine the stress but it sounds like the good is pretty amazing! That’s so great that you buy books with specific customers in mind. I do wish we had a more personal bookstore here! Have a great week!
Oddly enough most of the stress has nothing to do with the bookstore, lol. That’s probably the easiest thing in my life right now ;P Thanks Katherine!!
So I gotta ask… what did you think of Clash with Kings? I liked it although it’s not my favorite of the books- the main thing I remember is doesn’t Arya do a LOT of traveling? LOL. Anyway… nice stack of books, I see Origin in there and I liked Vitro by the same author.
There were parts of it I loved more than the first one, but other parts of it dragged much more. Yeah, lol. Arya does end up traveling quite a bit in this one. I love the Stark kids and Tyrion…and Dany of course. I could do without Catelyn and Theon though.
I have a used book store that I go to all of the time. The owner is precious! She calls me when something I might be interested in comes in and actually looks for books for me. Such a sweetie and we chat so much I spend hours when I visit. I’m curious what you thought of Cress.

Wow! Great book haul. You managed to read a lot too. Have a good week 🙂
Thank you!
Truth or Dare looks good, hope you enjoy and have a great week.
It really does! I might read it before I sell it.
Cress is an awesome read! You might want to check my review:

Thanks Nyze! I’ll definitely check it out!
Dang…. That’s a LOT of books!! I’m so jelly, i keep spending my money before I can by books… Must correct this when I get my check Tuesday! 😆 I hope you enjoy. Will be checking out the Cress review seeing how I’ve been meaning to read it forever!
Lol, I usually don’t have any money for books either. This past week was definitely a bit excessive, 😛
Excessive? Nah… 😛
That’s cool you got some books with specific customers in mind. I’d love a bookstore like that. 🙂
