This is where I feature the books I received, bought, gifted or won that are newly added in my physical shelf, which means no e-books and the like. It is usually posted on Saturdays.
I believe this is my first MMB this year. There are a lot of new releases I want to buy but let's face it, I'm a student with no job, I don't want to get myself broke. And I don't like asking my parents to buy anything for me. They do it because they want to, not because I want them to. Besides, if my mom may want to strangle me for splurging on books (even if it's my money I use, in a way) this time my dad might actually join her. Okay, totally kidding. But hey, you never know. They say they can't get me to part with my books. Of course I told them that I go out ALL THE TIME and don't spend the ENTIRETY of my time holed up in my room.
These 3 are in my TBR pile. I haven't read Blood Red Road and Across the Universe yet. Still, I can't wait to start them soon!
Everneath is the third book I read in 2012. That was pretty much a year ago so I plan on reading it again before I start Everbound.
Bought these just yesterday. Delirium and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight are on my TBR. I read Under the Never Sky last year but my sister has not so I bought a copy so she can (along with Everneath).
*books are still in their plastic wrappers so nevermind that little hindrance on the spine*

That's all. Happy weekend! Don't forget to link me to your own hauls. I'd love to visit. Favorite pastime, remember? Stalking bookshelves?
Wowow!! You bought a lot of new books :) Did you buy those all at the same day? ;) Delirium is great! I promise! :D and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is cute and sweet. Hope you read them very soon. :)
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, we are both in the same situation... I also have a little sister who likes to read books and I use her as the reason to buy a physical copy of the book even though I have read it already ;)
Oh, no. Haha. My mom might have a heart attack if she knew I bought all these in one day. They are my haul for the entire month, I don't plan on buying anything for the meantime.
DeleteI know, right? Sometimes my sister begs me to buy her this book and that. And I'm all like, "Why don't you buy it yourself? I don't have much money, you know." But deep inside I'm all like, "Good idea." LOL! :)
I know the feeling :) Sometimes, mothers are just super villains when buying books. Hahahaha.. and fathers, too. And YAY for little sisters ;)
DeleteI saw The Diviners at NBS a few weeks ago and I really wanted to buy it. It's so thick and it sounds really good. But I didn't have enough money to buy it that day. When I came back a few days later, they were gone!!! I'm looking forward to reading your review about The Diviners :)))
Haha. Thanks. Can't wait to start it. I've been wanting to own a copy of The Diviners since it came out so when I saw a copy I immediately grabbed one. Good thing I have extra money with me. You never know when good books suddenly arrive and easily go out of stock :)
