Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to gab on about the books we've won, bought, or otherwise received in the past week.
This week has been sooooo long. It's the first week of the second semester, and as it turns out, I've forgotten most of my Latin over Christmas break. Plus, my professor is out of his mind if he thinks I'm paying $100 for a Shakespeare book. But, it's nice to be back in the swing of things, and I had some presents waiting at my dorm for me!

ReplyDeleteI have not found a place to order Thai food near me and I crave it constantly. Not sure if I can learn to cook it, but it's worth a try...
Jen @ YA Romantics
Oh, I know the feeling. There's no Thai OR Japanese places here!

DeleteHi Jillyn
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my haul post.
Grim sounds like an interesting book, so I've added it to my Wish List.
Enjoy your reads.
PS - Love your photo in your TARDIS display. :-)
Why thank you! I wore that on Halloween :)
DeleteI've been considering getting Grim on Netgalley but I've been waiting until it's closer until it comes out. I have quite a few books to read before then! :D Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteDenise @ Dandelionn Wine Book Blog
That's a smart plan, I'm starting to get a bit overwhelmed myself. Enjoy!
DeleteLook at these new goodies! And $100 for Shakespeare? I'd rather go to a second hand bookstore and buy his plays for five bucks. Or better yet, search them online. Aren't they public domain? Back to the other books, happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my haul.
Exactly! That's why I am so pissed off about it. I ended up going to Barnes and Noble and buying a leather bound complete works for 20$. It was an edition I wanted anyway, and is still way less!
Deleteoooo!! i love thai food. your cookbook looks awesome. awesome mix of books :)
ReplyDeletehappy reading and thanks for stopping by my StS.
