AKA Showcase Sunday
This is weeks and weeks’ worth of books. I have been a very lazy blogger over the holidays but it also means I haven’t been randomly buying books either. I haven’t even looked at the Kindle sale this time! Apart from lovely blogger gifts, I didn’t really get books for Christmas, but I did get a shiny new iPad Air. I forgot to include my amazing dinosaur pop-up book I got from Mike in the photo too. It is the best pop-up book in the world, ever.

*This was part of the lot I got from the Authors for Philippines auction. The t-shirt is huge, so I’m not sure if I’m going to be brave and take it in or give it away. I have a few spare bookmarks if anyone wants one, give me a shout.
I’m giving away my copy of The Descent here.

Wow, what a pile! I'm quite curious to hear what you think of Burn by Julianna Baggot, I have Fuse somewhere partly read, and I need to get back to it.
That's quite a haul! Such a nice way to start off the new year…enjoy!
My Sunday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/01/sundays-weekly-book-recap-48.html
That's one hell of a haul!! Those books sound brilliant. I hope you enjoy them all hun :). I especially love the dinosaur book! x
Quite a haul that you've amassed.
I don't know about any of these books, I must admit, but I hope that you enjoy them all.
Thank you for visiting my haul post and a Happy New Year.
PS – Apologies for making you buy another book. 😉
Awesome haul! Dinos! 😀
I am very curious about NOS4A2 and Nexus, both looks good!
Also want Hyperbole and a Half, looks awesome. I heard it's great!
How to Keep a Boy as a Pet sounds hilarious. Adding it right now 😀
Happy reading!
Wow, where to start!!! What an amazing haul. Theres a few I really want like NOS4R2 and Nexus. My son would love the dino book!! Enjoy 🙂
Ooh, The Ghost Bride – I've been wanting to read that ever since it came out!
Brilliant haul! http://booketta.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/feeding-my-e-reader-7.html
I got my Authors for the Philippines swag too, still deciding which of it to keep for myself and which to give away!
Great haul, happy reading!
I am obsessed with popup books!! I love them soooo much. I was flicking through some the other day at the bookstore. Looking at your pile of books I realize just how long NOS4A2 is. Just look at it compared to the other books. Yikes!
Wow! What a great haul, Ellie! The Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs looks amazing! I may just have to get myself a copy. The Dark Inside sounds like it's going to be such an amazing read.
Happy reading! 🙂
Ah, lovely book piles… I have a couple of these on my to-read radar, as well. Enjoy!
oooh look at all the books you got. There is nothing better than huge pile of them 😀
Enjoy all of your books my dear! 😀
My Showcase Sunday 🙂
My Current Giveaway: A book of your choice! 🙂
Great haul! If you haven't read Hyperbole and a Half yet, move it to the top of your pile. ASAP! It's just as hilarious as you'd imagine.
I am thrilled to see The Lives of Tao in your pile! I so enjoyed that one.
I know you said you haven't looked at Kindle sales and you certainly have enough to read, but if you do have any interest in reading Fortune's Pawn, a new SF book with a female protagonist that is getting good buzz, it is on sale on today's Amazon Kindle Daily Deal for $1.99 and you can get the whispersync for an additional $1.99
I'm definitely going to read NOS4A2 this year. I've read Joe Hill's other books and am interested in how this one compares. I really liked Heart-Shaped Box, and Horns a little less.
You could wear it as a PJ! 🙂
Wow, what a great haul! I have a couple of the books on my TBR list 🙂 Hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Such a great book haul this week 🙂 I hope you enjoy them all. The dinosaur one looks like a lot of fun!
