I arrived in Wichita last night and was met with a beautiful sight: 5 big boxes of books that have been stacking up since early January. (These aren't all the books that have been sent to me over the past 8 months since my dad sends me boxes with the most urgent books from time to time.)
Here's a quick video view. Enjoy!

oh my WOWNESS! that is fantastic. Maybe I'll just let all my books pile up for 9 months so I can have a huge stack to open at once.... or maybe not! :) thanks for sharing!
It did feel a bit like Christmas in August :)
Oh my gosh, those would almost fill an entire bookshelf, wouldn't they?
WOW!!!! You have like 5 books in there I want!!!!! LOL LOL
Piles so delicious they're almost overwhelming. When will you find the time to read all of them?! hehe.
Oh wow! I bet it felt like Christmas!
I'm not sure, but I think I might become too overwhelmed with such an amazing stack of books. I would probably go into something of a book frenzy running around in circles shrieking, "Where do I begin? How am I going to find the time to read them all?"
Yay! Are you shipping those back to yourself I take it?
Taren, Steph & Alissa - For sure! My questions to myself are:
1. How will I take all these books back with me?
2. Where will I put them once I do get them back?
3. When will I find the time to read all of them?!!
Alea - The cool thing is that I upgraded to business class on the flight back so I get a free allowance of 3 bags up to 70 lbs each. I'm going to need it!
Can I just comment how much I love Delta airlines? They upgraded me on all the segments of my trip this time around :)
That is so awesome Lenore! :)
Man, is that ever a lot of books! Christmas in August indeed!
It seems the 9 months of waiting doesn't it!? xD
Wow, envy here! xD
Nice stack. I could use some of those envelopes.
Oh wow! Now that's what I'd call a haul!! :P
That's Fantastic!! Enjoy them Lenore!! I'd be so happy I think I may just lay them all out and roll around in them screeching "They're all mine...all mine"!! LOL I'm kidding!!
It's SO great that Delta upgrades! No doubt!
I LOVE your blog!

Whoa. That's just crazy!! I'd probably be overwhelmed.
Oh my goodness -- how FUN!!
And you are in Wichita! That is only a hop, skip and a jump from me. Enjoy the unusually cool Kansas weather.
:) Wow!!!! Thanks for sharing
so many amazing books!!!
Opening that many packages at once would be awesome :P
So many lovely books! Before I Fall and The Snowball Effect are the top two that look the best to me. At least you won't run out of things to read. :P
Alba - My cats couldn't come with me, thus no cats in the video!
Molly - I think I brought Germany's weather with me. I've never been so cold in Kansas in August!!
Melanie - Out of all of them, I am most excited to read BEFORE I FALL!
Lenore! I know how you feel. I live in Kansas City, it's usually hot this time of year!
OMG!!! It's like xmas and happy birthday and every other happy day in between. Congrats!!
Nice stash you have there. I will admit to envy. Hope you enjoy them all!
I have only one thing to say : WOW! That's a lot of books!
I don't know how you resisted opening these enveloped before though! :D
Don't you just want to pet these books? I hope you find a way to get these books back safely~!!!
Btw I love the stack of the bubble mailers : )
Oh my gosh that is amazing! It's like my dream land!
I would just want to sit with them all around me and chose the order I wanted to read them in!! Haha!

When you see them all at once, it sure is a lot of books!
Whoa! I'd probably just sit there and stare at all the books.
Wow!! Definitely like Christmas in August!
Wow, that's heaven! ... or maybe not, simply because I have too many books piled up myself to read and they are starting to get in the way of stuff like, you know, walking around freely :) But I don't think you can ever have too many!
I am so envious of you! Your stacks are awesome! Now you will have to make time to read all those wonderful books.
What a nice stack to come home too...congrats on those books...jealous!
Wow! You have more than I've ever had on my trips home! My parents have to send my books to me sometimes too but there are always a whole bunch of contest wins and non-urgent ARCs waiting.
Wow! What a great stack of books! Enjoy!
