It’s my birthday! Or, actually, it’s now two days after my birthday. I got some new bookish shirts (“high shelf esteem” being one of them; “I like to party and by party I mean read books” being another! They’re from LookHuman.com like the shirts I reviewed here) and a few new books. Hurrah.
Gifts
And there was a library trip, of course.
Library
I’m a little worried I’m going to blend the plots of the Mercy Thompson and Kate Daniels books if I read them at the same time… still, the library in Cardiff doesn’t have them, and the library at my parents’ does, so!
Comics
I was supposed to get Hawkeye for Christmas. Seriously! And now I finally have it and… I haven’t read volume three and my copy of volume three is not here. Gaaah.
What’s everyone else been grabbing?

Visiting from the STS comments. I haven’t heard of those Girl Who Fell books. I love the cover art, that’s what always gets me to try something new. I’ll be watching for your review/comments on them.
I’ve heard lots of good things, and liked Valente’s other work, so I’m hopeful!
Same here, first time hearing about this.

I hear good things, so I’m looking forward to them!
Wow, a very big and awesome haul this week. I want to start reading more graphic novels, but have no idea where to even begin with those. I hope you enjoy all your books 🙂
Yes! I was pouting about not getting many books for my birthday, and then people surprised me. Thanks for dropping by!
Happy belated birthday, Nikki! You got some great books – especially the library ones 😉 I love the Kate Daniels series so much!!!
Have a fantastic weekend and happy reading.
Thank you! And I’m enjoying Kate Daniels a loooot. I finished Magic Strikes already!
Happy Belated Birthday, Nikki. I have heard good things about the Kate Daniels and Mercy Thompson series. I hope you love all your new books.
Grace @ Books of Love
Thanks! I’m enjoying both, though Kate might be my favourite so far.
Happy Belated Birthday! It was also my birthday this week. Yay for August babies! 😀 I hope you enjoy your new books.
Looks like there’s been a couple of us! I’ll have to come see if you got any books — belated happy birthday to you too!
I really enjoyed Sparrow Hill Road. I hope you do, too!
I’m looking forward to trying it!
Happy belated birthday! I love the Kate Daniels and Mercy Thompson series.
Nice Haul! Happy Reading!
I’m definitely enjoying both! Thanks for dropping by.
This is my first week taking part in Stacking The Shelves! Hi 🙂
I haven’t heard of “The Girl Who..” series, nor have I read any Seanan Mcguire so I’ll be checking those out!
Welcome, then!
They’re supposed to be a lot of fun, and Mcguire’s won some awards, so fingers crossed they’re as good as I hear.
Happy belated birthday! Nice haul of gifted books, I’ve always been curious about Valente’s Fairyland books! 😀
Thank you! And me too… I’ve had the first one for a while, but in ebook; now I have all the first three!
Happy Belated B-day! Awesome book haul this week. I have not read the Valente’s Fairyland books but the covers are gorgeous. I’m a huge Patricia Briggs fan, though I lean more towards her Alpha and Omega series. I hope you enjoy your new books 🙂
My StS
Thanks! They look fun, so I’m excited. I need to read more Patricia Briggs!
Awesome week for you! I hope you enjoy your new books!

Thanks for dropping by!
Looks like a lovely haul! The Fairyland books have been on my TBR list forever, but I keep not getting to them. I’ve only read one Mercy Thompson book and I haven’t actually looked at Kate Daniels before now… I should probably do something about that! Happy reading! 🙂
Same here! And oh, Kate Daniels is fun, Magic Strikes made me laugh a lot.
Happy birthday! There is nothing better than a nice book haul to celebrate!
Thank you! And exactly.
Happy Belated Birthday! I went on a crazy book-buying spree this week. I live near Portland so I treated myself to a shopping trip at Powell’s which is a bookstore that is the size of a city block and 3 or 4 stories…Maybe you’ve heard of it? Bibliophile heaven!
Oooh, that sounds great. We don’t have Powell’s in the UK, I think.
Woow!! You got some great books over here.
I hope you enjoy reading the books by Ilona Andrews. I think they are great and still need to finish this serie.
Hope you enjoy reading these other books as well.

Here is my STS
I’m really enjoying Ilona Andrews’ books! They make me laugh, and Kate is awesome — strong, but not perfect.
