The school library is vastly underrated. At least mine is. I hate that I'm really just really getting into reading now that I'm a second semester Senior, and I won't have the library for forever. I'm angry at myself for being ashamed of my reading life. Have you ever experienced that?Stacking the shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, and it's all about sharing the books that have come into your possession throughout the week.
Anyway, onto the haul.
So, our school library does this awesome thing called "the mobile library" where one of the librarians puts some of their favorite reads on book carts and brings them down from the library and to your English class. I think it's a great way to get kids to read. Isn't it so awesome?
On the cart, I picked up two books. I would have picked up twelve, but I didn't want to look crazy.
The first thing I picked up was We Should Hang Out Sometime by Josh Sundquist (signed! can you believe it?) because I've been eyeing it for some time now. Then I was glancing around the carts and saw this gorgeous edition of Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I have heard so much about Gaiman, and I wanted to read something of his.
One of my public library holds came in this week: The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 1: The Faust Act. I've heard fantastic things about this graphic novel, and I can't wait to dive into this one. Also, I got to download an electronic audiobook of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. One of my goals for the year is to reread the Harry Potter series, and I wanted to listen to at least one of them.
I even bought a book this week. The 100 by Kass Morgan was only $3.97 in the bargain section of my local Books a Million, so I couldn't just let it sit there since I love the TV show so much. Are you shipping Bellarke? I'm shipping Bellarke. So hard. Also, I have already read and reviewed this book here.
What books and/or bookish things have you guys gotten this week? I even downloaded a new comment system so that you guys can actually comment down below and tell me that!
Happy Reading!

I want to read The 100 so bad! I've seen the first season of the show, and I've been wanting to read the book; enjoy listening to Harry Potter! Is it the one narrated by Jim Dale? Those are the best!

I am reading We Should Hang Out Sometime right now, and I am loving it! It is really funny!
ReplyDeleteI really really want to read Stardust!! I've read a few Neil Gaiman books and it just makes me want MORE (plus Good Omens is like one of my top favourtie books of all TIME. xD) I don't think my library has Stardust, though, *le sigh* which is why I haven't tried it yet. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
I loved the Stardust movie, I really want to read the book one day! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Bursting Books !
I'm really excited to read it! Good Omens sounds really great, that might have to be next!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I have never seen the Stardust movie. Crazy, I know, but I have heard nothing but fantastic about everything Gaiman.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read The Wicked and The Divine, the artwork looks so beautiful. I'm need to go check out your review of The 100, I love the show too and I'm totally shipping Bellarke!! Awesome haul!
ReplyDeleteNew follower, love your blog! :)
I want to pick up The Wicked and The Divine the weekend! Glad to have a fellow Bellarke shipper! I can't wait to see where it goes. The book is definitely very different than the show, but it is still pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read or watched The 100 yet, I REALLY want to though! I'm also still waiting on my hold at the library for We Should Hang Out Sometime! Hope you enjoy your new books :-)

The show is the best thing ever! It's a great show to binge (season one is on Netflix if you have it) and the book is pretty good too. I am LOVING We Should Hang Out Sometime. Super funny!
ReplyDeleteWe Should Hang Out Sometime has a really cute cover! I love it so much. It almost reminds me of Simon VS. THe Homo Sapien's Agenda! Also, I LOVE The 100. I heard that the book is different from the show by a LOT but I love the show <3333

I haven't read Simon, but I have heard some rave reviews about it! The 100 is very different from the show, but I think if you can separate them as different entities then you would really like it.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read We Should Hang Out Sometime. Great haul!
