Out of My Pocket #24 / In My Mailbox #29
Due to my book buying addiction I started this feature on my blog where I post about the book(s) I bought that week. Not something I plan on having every week – though it seems to be turning out that way. So here’s what I bought this week!In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren … and I end up adding a ton of books to my wishlist every week.

Good golly! The books keep a-comin'! Not pictured above is the 3rd Percy Jackson novel, which is currently upstairs in my bedroom and I felt way too lazy to go get it just for the photo. I'm also feeling too lazy to copy and paste the summaries for each of the books. Sorry about that - it's been a loooooong week back at work. I'm exhausted. Books on the left were bought this week and books on the right showed up in my mailbox (ok, I bought them as well, but they still made me pretty darn excited when I got home from work!)Those 12 Shakespeare bookmarks are because I was $1.50 short on amazon for free shipping and I didn't want to add another book since the shipping fees were less than any book I would have added so I found this bookmark booklet for a whopping $2! You can never have too many bookmarks I tell you.What I am super excited about is that my copy of The 13 Curses arrived on Friday! Woohoo! It was "processing" for such a long time at The Book Depository that I wasn't sure I was ever going to get it. I have been anxious for this book since I read the first book early last year.And I had two dog-related things come in the mail as well. My Shutterfly calendar that we made finally arrived on Tuesday and now I have my gorgeous dogs showcased in my kitchen. I love my dogs. Also, this actually came the day before New Year's but I finally put it up this week - it's a Christmas gift from my husband which arrived late.
A street sign for my dogs! What better place to put it than over the frame that shows off all the Lappies I have had in my life. Annie and Jinx are the top and bottom dogs, while my first ever Finnish Lapphund is the glorious Kewpie-Doo in the middle. Sadly she's no longer with us, but she's always in our memories (who could forget a dog who thought everything was FOOD! Really?).I love my dogs. I love my books. I do not let my dogs near my books since one of them especially (Annie) thinks that paper products were put on this earth for her gourmet enjoyment.
