A Shell Full of Books: 2013-2014

Well, it's been a long time since I've done one of these. I believe a year in fact. Anyway, this is where I post the books I got over the past year from people.

And here they are!

I've already read this one, and Racing Savannah, and I've loved them both!

Read them!

As you can see, I've gotten a lot of books over the past year. Plus, a bunch of e-books that I have bought/won and didn't write down.

Thank you to everyone who I won the books from and who I traded with.

And thank you to Amazon for existing.

 Sooner or later I'm going to do another post with all the books I don't want that I need to get rid of. Stay tuned!

A Shell Full of Books: The Missing Months

 

 

This is my version of IMM.

 

This edition is for all the months I've been gone because college is CRAZY!

 

Here are the books:

 

 

 

 There are only a few books that I actually bought. Most of them are the ones that aren't YA novels. There are a few more books that I have bought, but they aren't YA, so I didn't take a pic of them.

There are some I traded for, but not much.

 

Thank you so much to all the bloggers that I won these books from.

I will try to list them all. Sorry if you were one of them and I forgot about you.
