my ship came in!

or should I say my shipment.

I got a chunk of change for my bday- and began to tackle the long list of books that I wanted for our home library... as opposed to checking out books over and over from our local library. I am beginning to think they have red flagged some books from me checking out them out because I get them so often.

All of these are all titles that I have seen from our library.... except for two....

and just have loved them.

so, yes... my ship came in....

and this girl is a happy reader for a while.

if you ask how this fits into my nothing new..... it was a stretch. I first checked books that were used, but with the shipping costs they were about $2 more than buying new from amazon and the free shipping. so, yes these books are new. but if you think about it... I didn't buy them, someone else did (as a gift to me) and I did try and buy used ( in fact one is a used library book)..... is that a justification? or fair enough?
