New books!

I ordered things off the Chapters website not too long ago, and they came in last week.  It's mostly gifts, but I did get myself one book.  I'm not very pleased with the way Chapters packages their products, because this is the second time I've gotten damaged things from them.  Unfortunately I don't have time to return them, so hopefully the people I give them to aren't too unhappy with it.



Those books, and the gloworm, is what I got my Godson for his first birthday!  I didn't know what to get him, I don't have a child and I have no clue about 1 year olds.  So I was told that books are a good choice.  I loved my gloworm when I was a kid, so I thought that would be nice too!





I got this Marilyn book for my friend for her birthday.  This is the one that was damaged, as you can probably see from the picture on the right.  I'm not too happy, but there's not much I can do about it.  Maybe she can return it as a gift?


And finally, this is the book I got for myself!  Dale Jarvis runs the Haunted Hike here in Newfoundland.  I'm really into to creepy stuff like this, so I can't wait to read this!  He has other books that I'll eventually buy too, but I'm starting with this one.


I have a serious problem with buying books.  I have a long list of books I want to own, and an even longer list of books to read.  There's not enough time in the day!  Thanks for reading. :)

Chapters "Haul"

I titled this Chapers "Haul", but it's not really much of a haul! I only got 3 books. It was unplanned, but it was Black Friday and they had online deals and I also got extra cash back from Ebates. Anyway, I thought I would share them!

 I've never even heard of this book before, but I saw it on their website and it looked interesting so I bought it!

 This book I've been wanting for a while. I wanted to get Disco Bloodbath first, but for some reason I never. I don't really know why. Maybe I just came across this one first.

The Rum Diary! This book means so much to me. I couldn't wait for them to make the movie, but I haven't seen it yet. I don't want to go into detail about why it means a lot to me, but something terrible happened to me while I was reading this the first time. I lived with one of my boyfriends friends and it was his book so that's why I didn't own it before now. I wish I had to buy it before, because I really don't like when books have "Soon to be a major motion picture" on it. But oh well, it's an amazing book & I love it.

Chapters Haul, I guess!

Just a couple of things I ordered from Chapters website :) I thought I'd share since I have nothing else to blog about!

 I actually had no idea the new Dexter book was out in paperback yet, so I was pretty excited to find it when I was looking online. I'd rather them in paperback because it's much easier for me to read it and take it around.

I'm really excited to read this. It's about a woman who wakes up every morning and doesn't remember anything, her husband has to tell her that 2 decades ago she was in a terrible accident that took away her ability to form new memories. She starts to question her life and keeps a journal and she starts to discover some "unbelievable truth." It sounds really interesting!

I got this one because one of my favorite movies is Session 9. It was filmed in this abandoned mental institution, Danvers State Hospital. This book is about six teenagers who break in and spend the night and film a movie about their experiences. I think I remember reading that it was similar to the movie, and the movie is also mentioned in the book. I can't say anything about the book yet, because I haven't read it yet, but if anybody is reading this they should definitely check out the movie Session 9!
