Stacking the Shelves/Letterbox Love

To try and reach more people and find new blogs, I'm now doing Stacking the Shelves (hosted by Tynga) as well as continuing Letterbox Love (hosted by Kirsty).

I only got two books this week, but they are both awesome. I was lucky enough to get to go to the tour stop for Maureen Johnson & Stephanie Perkins last night, and it was absolutely hilarious! I'll put up a post about it tomorrow, with pictures, which trust me you're going to want to see. It was just so funny!

So I picked up a copy of Steph's "Anna and the French Kiss", as well as Maureen's new book, the one she's touring for, "The Madness Underneath". I loved the first book in the series, and I had a sneaky read of the first couple of chapters while we were waiting for them to arrive.


Pretty books!

I have no idea what this says after my name.

Aww, this is cute :)


It's been a quiet week on the blog because I've had college midterms and papers to deal with, but things will be better next week!

  1. Wow, I would have been SO excited to meet both Authors. I think they would be freaked out by the number of books I would have brought them to sign. I hope you enjoy both books. I LOVE Anna and the French Kiss.

  2. You're so lucky to have met both Stephanie Perkins and Maureen Johnson! I love signed books because they feel a lot more personal. I think it says 'enjoy' after your name; it does look like it. Happy reading!

  7. Oh my gosh, so jealous that you got to see Stephanie Perkins and Maureen Johnson! I loved Anna and Lola, and Maureen is just awesome. I haven't read The Name of the Star yet, but I definitely want to. I have a copy of the book, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

    Anyway, enjoy your goodies. Happy reading :)

  12. Love Anna!!! I got to meet Steph Perkins last year and she was awesome. Sounds like you had a great time.

  13. That's so hilarious that you can't read what Maureen Johnson wrote after your name. That seems so like her (basing that off her crazy tweets).
