I'm floored by your loot...WOW! Can't wait to read all of the upcoming reviews...you've got some great books on tap
Well, that should keep you busy for awhile. :)
How long of a time period did you collect those books over?
Jill - Yeah, it sure makes me wish I could read even faster.
Amy - Well, the last time I was home was July, but my dad brought a suitcase full for me when he came mid-september and between then and mid-november he sent me 3 boxes of books...
Do you want to trade families?
Woah! That is a lot of books! :)
Thanks for stopping by. If you're curious about I Capture the Castle, I'd say take a closer look. You might be surprised and end up liking it. I didn't hate it... I just didn't like it as well as I thought I might. You can read my review here: http://libraryhospital.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-capture-castle-by-dodie-smith.html
Wow!!! What an amazing pile.
Thanks bunches for the beautiful Libby Bray signed collection and the extra goodies. I love it and I will cherish the books! :)
Happy New Year, Lenore!
Yay! I love it I love it I love it! I'm reading 3 Willows right now and really enjoying it!
Thanks so much for taking all the pictures and doing all the typing! I LOVE IT!
Holy crap! Those book stacks are heavenly! You're gonna be a busy gal with all that reading :)
That's a lot of reading. Who By Fire is a very good story. I listened to Diana Spechler interviewed on Blog Talk Radio and wrote a brief review of the book here: http://freshinkbooks.blogspot.com/2008/12/recently-read-and-recommended.html
Happy reading in 2009.
OMG is all I can say to that list Lenore. Happy Reading. You sure are going to be busy.
You brought all those home in your suitcases?! Unbelievable!
Oh my gosh - what a haul. It looks like you're in for a lot of fun reading.
I would've hated lugging those suitcases around. You better get reading...your stash is growing!
Aaaah so pretty! Your books make my blood sugar go down.
That is so cool! Thanks for the pics!
Wow, that is a TON of books. So many look great too like Fade and Swoon.
-Lauren
My back hurts with empathetic imagination.
But my mind soars....
YOU GOT FADE!? Grrrr jealouss :)
Yay, I love pictures of books all stacked up like that. I thought "she's so lucky" several times reading through your list. :)
That is quite a list! You have tons of books that have been on my list of wants (some new releases, some backlist). Can't wait to read the coming reviews!
wow - hope you didn't have to carry your own bags! ;-) Happy New Year!
Oh-mi-god. Holy Cow! That is a ton of book stacks! Have fun reading them!
Oh that is absolutely amazing!! I can't imagine how much your suitcases weighed! Happy reading and I look forward to lots of reviews!
WOW! That is fantastic!!
I think you came home with more than me! Oh I'm SO jealous! I want Lords of Misrule so bad!!!
Oh.My.God. This is crazy and fantastic :)
You won't ever be out of books for the year 2009 at least...
That's a lot of books to haul home in suitcases!
As a business traveler, used to hauling my necessities through airports, I do not envy you hauling that around - although I do envy that haul!
