  1. Holy crap is that a lot of books. πŸ˜€ I’m so jealous about all the Jacqueline Woodson books you got!

  2. Wow. Dude. That is an AWESOME set of books. Like whoa!

  3. I have a copy of Dreamland Social Club somewhere I need to read….I’d forgotten about it!

    Also…yay for showing the Patrick Rothfuss love!

  4. Jealous! so much awesomesauce there!

    I’m especially jealous that you have Thou Shalt Not Road Trip, because I loved Five Flavors of DUMB.

  5. This is the most epic mailbox post ever. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I am so jealous that you went to the Penguin Warehouse Sale- I’ve always wanted to go to something like that like. Enjoy all of your books!

  6. Living in the middle of nowhere stinks, always miss out on warehouse book sales. Kind of jealous that you got a copy of Pegasus by Robin McKinley because it is made of awesome. =)

    Awesome books this week- as usual! Happy reading. =)

  7. Jealous!Jealous!Jealous!Jealous! just kidding or am i
    enjoyyyyyyy

  8. Oh holy moly! First off – THE CATASTROPHIC HISTORY OF YOU AND ME. I’m really so excited to read that one! I read the sampler and the voice sounds amazing.
    I really need to buy a copy of BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY, which I read as an ARC but gave away afterward. I so want to re-read it; it’s such a beautifully devastating book it makes me tear up inside.
    Loved ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, read that soon.
    Overall, a great book haul! You snagged so many great titles from the book sale. Care to divulge just how much all those books cost you?

  9. What an AMAZING haul. Have fun reading your way through!

  10. Oh my gosh – I love it!! I’m jealousy city over here. There’s nothing like getting a ton of books like that. My home library is upstairs and I wonder the same thing: Is my house going to collapse? One day I’ll be in the living room reading, and the next thing you know it’ll be raining books and ceiling tiles! LOL. Happy reading! πŸ™‚

  11. Glad you received The Disenchantments from LT – that means mine is on it’s way too! I’m reading The Catastrophic History now. It’s cute so far. You really scored at the Penguin sale. Enjoy all your new reads!

  12. so much awesome. so so much.

  13. :O Just :O

  14. Yay! There’s someone who got more books than me this week πŸ™‚ You’ve got some awesome reads there. I definitely want to read Across the Universe.

    My IMM is here if you’d like a look πŸ™‚

  15. Wow.. It would take me years to read all those. I’m a fast reader, but life is just to busy! Good thing about books is.. they don’t go bad. πŸ™‚

    There are a ton of great titles in there. I have been on the fence about getting Pegasus by Robin McKinley. I have seen some mixed reviews. I heard All You Desire by Kiersten Miller is better then the first one.. I picked it up at boarders that last week.. haven’t gotten to it yet though!

    And yay for your house still standing! you probably have enough books to build towering supports just incase is starts to lean. lol.

  16. You’re ALMOST as bad as me! Lol…I have to go an a hiatus to get all these books read…but I keep trying. Enjoy!

  17. Mateja @ Lost Without Books says

    I’m wondering why your house hasn’t collapsed yet too. AMAZING book haul! i got the Sweep books too this week πŸ™‚

  18. That is an awesome haul you have there. I usually get one book a week from a contest I have won from somewhere or from amazon after I bought it.

  19. Oh wow, you got such a huge haul indeed – I lovelovelove warehouse sales. I’m hoping that there’d be another one here in Singapore sometime soon. Great titles as well. I’m sure you’re all geared up for the cybils reviews. πŸ™‚ Judging all these books must be awesome.

    Here’s my IMM for the week:

  22. That’s more books than a lot of people read in an entire year! (Or more than my husband has read in the past decade… LOL!)

    What an awesome haul!!

    Please check out what’s In My Mailbox!

  23. Uhm, clearly I need to move somewhere near publishing warehouses.

    Also, I spy with my little eyes Catastrophic and I am sooo envious (although Shanyn is totally awesome and sending me it soon)! Anddd the Sweep books. LOVE THEM. Granted, I read them when I was like 14 and am quite biased, but I’ve reread over and over again, haha.

    Hope you find time to read them all πŸ˜›

  24. Wow! That’s a lot of books!
    Happy Reading!

  32. Wow, epic purchases. On one hand, I’d love to go to a warehouse sale, but on the other, there’s no way I’d have enough room for all those books.

    Enjoy. πŸ™‚
