So you know how I said a few weeks ago that I wasn't going to be buying books for a while? Well I was cruising the internet the other night and saw that there were a ton of books being released at the same time and I must have gasped because the husband asked what was up. I told him how there were like five books coming out the same day that I just needed to have. He didn't really care or seem interested, but while out shopping for Halloween costumes the other night he suggested we stop at Barnes and Noble and pick up one of the books I wanted. Of course I couldn't turn that down, it's a rare thing, so off we went. Well what happens when Tiffany walks into the bookstore? The above! I ended up leaving with four new releases and a copy of Blackberry Winter by Sarah Jio (finally!!!). I've been after this book for months. 

Now the husband wasn't too pleased, but didn't demand I put any back so yay! I guess it's a good thing I didn't tell him that I had stopped at Goodwill earlier in the week and picked up another five books :) Plus I received two books that I had won, plus another two fantastic looking books for review. I Am Lucky Bird came with an adorable little bird journal with matching pouch. BookSparksPR is the absolute BEST! I love being one of their groupies. 

Even though I am still crazy behind in review books, I'm actually making some progress. Maybe I'll be able to read one of these other books soon! And as always, thank you so much to the bloggers, authors and publishers who have hooked me up with these beauties, you all rock!

What came for you this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
