So I didn’t think I would be getting much in the way of books come April because I’m in the midst of moving and really, getting more books would not be well advised. As it turns out, I don’t listen to even my own advice as evidenced by the following pictures. In my defense, the library was having a book sale and I got each book at 75c. So. Yeah. I couldn’t help myself a lot.
Grave Mercy – Robin LaFevers (This arrived after I had reviewed it but hey, hard copies are always nice.) (For review.)
Purity – Pearce Jackson (for review. Reviewed. Thanks Hachette Canada.)
Burnt Snow – Van Badham (purchased. So I lusted after it for ages and then finally gave in and bought it. I dunno though, the beginning is not very promising and I might be epically disappointed.)
Earthseed – Pamela Sargent (From Tor. Thanks Alexis. Review has been posted.)
South of the Moon West of the Sun – Haruki Murakami (addition to my Murakami collection.)
My Life in Black and White – Natasha Friend (for review. Thanks Penguin Canada (I think.))
Between the Lines – Picoult and Van Leer (Thanks Simon & Schuster)

You, my friend, have a problem…. ;)
~Em
I do! I admit it!
Nice haul! I want to see your bookshelves sometime- you must have an amazing collection. I can understand how you couldn’t pass up those library bargains. Wow!
Oh sure. Once I’m done moving and setting up my new room, I’ll take pics of my prized items. Haha. I seriously do have a problem.
Oh god, the list just goes on and on and on and…
I’m insanely jealous.
Also, I second the commenter above me; I’d love to see pictures of your bookshelves. :)
I will post up a tour or pictures once I’ve moved houses!
So many great books! I grouped all of my April books this week, too, and it was quite the sight.
And good luck on the move! It’s always a lot of work, especially with all the books.
I’m sure you’ve been through it before. It’s gotten to the point that I’m wishing I was a genie and have been caught wiggling my nose. All to no avail, of course.
Wow, craziness! How are you going to get publisher sent ARCs when you move away? Won’t they send it to your old address? =P. LoL. Nice haul, btw.
I’m hoping they won’t mind my address change. I’ll get the post office to forward stuff to my new address until I have sent everyone my new address. :P
