Let Them Eat Cake or Happy Un-Stacking the Shelves Day

Terri, because you asked for it, I am going to comply...for once. I have spent some time trying to compile my acquisitions since I got back from vacation and I think this just about does it...except for the books I got at The NYC Comic Con which will be a different post.

I am not going to upload the covers as there are too many, but I will say most of the Kindle books were under $3.00. I think American Gods was the most expensive and that was $3.99 on special. I'm not sure if it still is.  I ordered all the eBooks in one shot when I got back from Germany.  I think I was so starved for English text and needed the instant gratification of having the book in my hand, even if electronically.  And they were all a bargain so I could hardly afford not to.  Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

So without further delay, here are the three weeks worth of books I added to my collection from the beginning of October through to Hurricane Sandy.

  2. I actually have American Gods in four formats. I have the original hard cover that came out which I managed to snag a signed copy of at B&N. Never pay full price for a hard cover, but I would for that and did. I picked up the paperback for a vacation read one year. I have the 10th anniversary hard cover edition that came out in 2011 and now I have the eBook version which was practically a steal.
    I love him and have ever since I started reading Sandman back in 1992. You really should pick it up.
    Thanks for stopping by!
