Stacking the Shelves

6/29/2013

Thursday this week was Library Day for me! I love a trip to the library, where I can roam through the stacks and pick out the few (okay, many) books that jump out at me. Here's what came home with me this week:

The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier
Our Tragic Universe by Scarlett Thomas
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
The Jane Austen Marriage Manual by Kim Izzo
Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigliani
The Cherry Cola Book Club by Ashton Lee
Two-Part Inventions by Lynne Sharon Schwartz
The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens

Of course, there's always more I could have borrowed, but these should last me for a week or two!

This is my very first Stacking the Shelves post, and it's a good week for it! I'm usually lucky if I can get to a bookstore once a month. Yesterday, I went to three! I met my mom for afternoon tea and a day of book shopping. Does life get much better than that?

Bookstore #1

Five Little Peppers Abroad by Margaret Sidney

Bookstore #2 (Barnes & Noble)

Clara and Mr. Tiffany by Susan Vreeland (yes, I know I just reviewed that one, but I listened to it as an audiobook. I still can't resist the feel of the real book in my hand, especially for only $5!)
The Turquoise Ledge by Leslie Marmon Silko
The Genesis Enigma by Andrew Parker
Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson
Maphead by Ken Jennings
The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister

And all off the bargain shelves, so no book cost more than $6. I love good deals.

Bookstore #3

Brainiac by Ken Jennings
The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs

Many thanks to Harvey for propping my books up so I could take pictures. Now I just need to find some time to sit there and read them!
