Stacking the Shelves (2)

 

**Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga of Tynga's Reviews that spotlights the books we receive each week**

We did our 'Support Small Business' shopping yesterday (since I was too sick to do it over T-day weekend). So we visited our local Trading Book store, a local charity thrift store and the flea market as well. Richi and I both found a dozen or so great books each.  We also bought a bookshelf from the thrift store ... because seriously, who doesn't *always* need another bookshelf, right?

Here are my 'new' shelf goodies (by the way, these books are going to be considered as part of my Christmas 2012).

 The stack on the left are the ones from Trading Book store:

• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (am I the only female on the planet who has never read this classic?)
• Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
• The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry
• Firebirds Rising - an Sharyn November -  book #2 of an anthology of fantasy and science fiction short stories by multiple authors
• The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
• The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok
• Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James

The stack on the left are from the flea market:

• Massive by Julia Bell
• The Faerie Path by Frewin Jones (book #1 Faerie Path)
• Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare (book #1 The Infernal Devices)
• Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston (book #1 Wondrous Strange)
• One Thousand White Woman: The Journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus - this one was recommended to me by one of my old-childhood friends, Doreen, she said it was incredibly good.

I also received a giveaway book through Goodreads First Reads program to read for review:
On the Map: A Mind-Expanding Exploration of the Way the World Looks by Simon Garfield.

it's very textbook-y ... but looks quite interesting :)

As usual, I also managed to find lots of lovelies to feed my Nook with:

Shadow of the Sun by Laura Kreitzer
