Summer Book Haul

I start school next Monday (and I move in tomorrow, which is an equally terrifying thought!), which means that my summer vacation is over.

This summer, I volunteered at my local hospital, attended the Gentlemen of the Road stopover in Simcoe, and read. A lot. I meant to do July and August wrap-up posts including my book hauls for the month but I forgot, so here are all of the books I bought/received during that time:

My personal favourite, though, was a package that I received a few days ago. Inside were copies of Ultraviolet (review) and Quicksilver (review) by R.J. Anderson — and they were signed!

It turns out that my cousin, who recently moved to California, is friends with R.J. Anderson and mentioned to her how much I loved these books. I may have freaked out a bit from excitement when I received them.

I looked a lot like this, actually. Minus the neat elf suit.

Now to find places for them all on my bookshelf…
