Stacking the Shelves

6/15/2013

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!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I haven't heard of any of these books, but I'm always open to suggestions. Any you'd recommend so far?

If you like nonfiction that makes you laugh, A.J. Jacobs is great. I've read The Know-It-All by him, and it was hilarious. Who would have thought a book about reading the encyclopedia cover to cover would be so interesting?
