Okay so yeah, the picture is a bit misleading when it comes to just how much I got this week book wise. For months, I'd been saving up Amazon GCs from swagbucks, epoll, and Amazon Associates and at the end of July I had enough to buy: Kindle Wi-Fi with Special Offers; Extended Warranty; Laptop case/bag; Laptop mouse; and all the kindle books listed above, under bought. I know some people say the $25 saved isn't worth the whole annoying offers and stuff but honestly, the offers and screensavers don't bother me at all. Plus, that $25 saved can buy me as many as 25 books and I'm pretty sure I'll come across an offer sooner or later that'll save me even more money. But anyway, totally in love with my kindle and especially the fact that I can use Netgalley now, since reading on the computer for too long bothers my head and eyes. Also a big thanks to Emily, Michelle, Steph, and Cidney for the books! That copy of The Near Witch, yeah, won a pre-order of that sucker back in November! That isn't all I got this week, though. I also got some stuff that I ordered for college. Here's a peek, in case you're curious:
And now you are all aware of my black and white fetish. But no worries, I've got some cute purple and green stuff I'll be getting for accent color. :P In the photo you can see the laptop bag and mouse I got from Amazon. Also some really trendy storage boxes, from Walmart, which I've already started loading with books I'm going to take. Yep, that's right, my books are going to college with me in style!
But enough of all that, hope you are all having a great weekend and got some really awesome stuff in your mailboxes this week!
OMG?! This was an AMAZ-ING week for you! I got Rippler for review, and so far I'm loving it! And I'm super jealous of The Near Witch, I can't wait to hear what you thought about it! Oh, and a kindle!! I totally agree that saving $25 bucks is awesome, more books haha! I love the things you got for college soooo pretty!! Enjoy all of your books, and good luck! (:
ReplyDeleteReally great week. I love those black and white containers. Can;t wait to see what you think of The Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Happy Reading!

The Near Witch is so good! I just know you'll love it. Daughter of Smoke and Bones looks great, can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! And congrats on the Kindle and all those ebooks. If you can buy 25 extra books with your money saved, then the ads wouldn't bother me either. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing week for you. I'd never be able to save that much it'd totally burn a hole in my pocket. Thanks for sharing. Here's My IMM. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteYay for your brand-spanking-new Kindle!! And look at all those books you got too! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them and good luck with the college packing. Just remember, books are heavy, so pack those boxes lightly :)
Wow! What a week! YAY for the kindle! My ereader broke and I miss NetGalley and Galley Grab, but on the plus side I have less pressure because less review books! And I'm enjoying that part.
ReplyDeleteI love the stuff you got for college. The black and white is cool and purple for an accent color will look good!
And I'm SO jealous you got Daughter of Smoke and Bone! I WANT WANT WANT!
Enjoy your books and kindle!
You did have an epic week! =D Love all the black and white stuff you got! Great idea on the storage boxes for books! I am going to college next year and I need to start thinking about books and how to bring them. =P
