Books, Books and More Books!

I took a day off from work and blogging yesterday, and spent a great deal of time at two of my favourite bookstores and not surprisingly came home with some books, much to the dismay of my husband, hehe. Since the rest of my TBR piles are stacked dangerously high at a corner of our storage room (any additional books will have them topple onto you!), I told him I will temporarily leave them stacked on his study desk, but of course he wouldn't believe me and knew it would stack higher and higher instead of moving to a new storage place, haha.

Anyway, these are what I bought yesterday:

• Immortal by Gillian Shields
• Miss or Mrs?, The Haunted Hotel, The Guilty River (Oxford World's Classics) by Wilkie Collins
• Forever by Judy Blume
• Rush Home Road by Lori Lansens
• Meridian by Amber Kizer
• Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
• Surrender by Sonya Hartnett

And, I have a couple of things to catch up on so please pardon me if I have not visited and commenting on your blogs.

Finally, I received this in an email and thought I want to share it with you:
