Stacking The Shelves - July 22, 2012


This meme is hosted by Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews, which she describes as follows: 

"Stacking The Shelves is all about the books we are adding to our shelves each week, sharing with you our excitement for our newest titles and maybe have you discover a new book in the process!" 


I won this hardcover in the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop hosted by Falaise at 2606 Books and counting:
(Jeeves, Book #7)
by P.G. Wodehouse

Thanks again, Falaise!










I won these three autographed softcovers in the Paranormal Freebies Blog Hop hosted by the author:



Thanks again, Molly!


I won these autographed softcovers in a giveaway hosted by Lucy at Enchanted by Josephine:



Now, this giveaway has a bit of a history! I actually won Madame Tussaud over a year ago, and the package was shipped out three times but none of the packages ever arrived. I suggested that the author send with a tracking number, and I FINALLY received the package this week on the fourth try! Unfortunately, I did not receive the Marie Antoinette Cupcake Earrings that were to be included in the giveaway as they were lost in the first shipment. However, the author did gift me with a copy of her latest book, The Second Empress, as a consolation.

Thanks again, Lucy & Michelle, for your perseverance!


I received this paperback as a Random Act of Kindness from Kevin at We're Really Falling Apart:

by S.J. Watson

Thanks so much for your kindness, Kevin! I've been dying to get my hands on this one and can't wait to read it!










I won this personally autographed softcover in the Freedom To Read Giveaway hosted by the author:

(Goddess Girls, Super Special)
by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams

Thanks again, Joan & Suzanne!









by Judy Teel

Thanks again, Nikki & Judy!











I won this e-book in a giveaway hosted by Zohar at Man of La Book:

(The Cypress Branches, Book #1)
by William E. Thomas

Thanks again, Man of La Book, William, and Mike!










I won these two e-books in a giveaway hosted by Pragya at Reviewing Shelf:



Thanks again, Pragya & Zoe!



I won this e-book in the Freedom To Read Giveaway hosted by Tifferz at Tifferz Book Review:

  2. I'm so, so glad the package arrived! And I *can't* believe it :~0 I included not one, but TWO pairs of earrings this last time. There must be some sort of black hole between your house and mine! What on earth?!

    1. Hi, Michelle! That is truly bizarre!! Did you see the photo of the battered packaging that I emailed to Lucy? It's possible that the earrings may have slipped out of the package because it was torn in two places :( No worries, though - I'm just thrilled to finally have the books :)

    2. There is only one answer. The post office clearly has a vendetta against me.

    3. Maybe take it as a compliment that the postal carriers love your books so much that they keep snagging the packages for themselves! :)

  3. You are so lucky to win so many contests. Too bad the packages don't always arrive in good condition. My new book posts are at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
